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
