I would still recommend buying a bracket that allows you to move the tv sideways for that final centre adjustment. | |

That would suggest the upright is bang on centre then :thumbs: | |

Thanks guys shall try and find a stud at the weekend. I've already bought some of them screw things, might buy some more to be safe:). Oh and the socket is slightly to left rather then in the middle. | |

Find one stud, get a couple of screws in that and also use those metal fixings with the setting tool to flare them out properly | |

What fixings would you recommend for hanging the wooden tv stand up as well? | |

On that wall you will have a stud at either side of the door and one bang in the centre. | |

Knocking along the wall still applies. | |

If there's a socket slap bang in the middle of the wall; there won't be an upright there to fasten to. | |

I'd just knock along it with my knuckle first, no point unscrewing stuff if it's obvious. | |

If there any sockets behind the TV stand; take the face off and pull the pattress out ( assuming it has a plasterboard pattress); that should allow you to put a long screwdriver or similar through the hole to work out where the uprights are by comparison. | |

There should be a stud right in the middle of that at the least. If you get a couple of screws in that, it won't move. | |

I have a 47incher on a bracket fixed with a screw at the top and one at the bottom. Theyre quite big screws as well, no chance theyre being ripped out. | |

Find a stud if you can, they are typically 400/600mm apart or 18"/24". | |

Anyone on here done this, if so what did you use to mount the bracket on the wall? Just getting round to decorating the front room and want to do it at the same time :thumbs: |
