ProMatcher
Answer: In most cases
Explanation: In most cases, it is possible to mount a TV to plaster walls. However, special care is needed because plaster walls can be more fragile than other types, such as drywall. It's crucial to use the right anchors that are designed for plaster to ensure that they can adequately support the weight of the TV. Finding the studs within the wall for additional support is also recommended. Professional installation might be advisable to avoid damaging the plaster and to ensure the mount is secure.
