JC Handyman Services
Answer: In most cases
Explanation: In most cases, it is possible to mount a TV to drywall. However, it's crucial to ensure the mount is properly anchored. Using the right type of wall anchors that can support the weight of the TV is essential. Typically, securing the mount to the wall studs is the safest method. For walls where studs are not an option, specially designed heavy-duty drywall anchors should be used to prevent the TV from pulling out of the wall

ESDG,LLC
ProMatcher
Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Most housing construction has wood 2 by 4s in the wall. and 95% of all mounts are done on this type of material. In some high rise appartments the walls sometimes use metal studes and this can make the install a bit trickier. Metal studs are not as strong and usuall need other types of reinforcement. It can be done and I have done several but I Install additional support to insure that the mount wil be solitly in place.
