Message: <blockquote data-quote="zseese" data-source="post: 1904481" data-attributes="member: 8672"><p>I'm mounting my 51" Plasma over the fireplace where there are no usable studs, of course.  I am using a full motion mount so heavy duty drywall anchors are out.  So I'm thinking of cutting out an appropriately sized rectangle of 3/4" birch plywood and attaching it to the nearest studs.  Then I will bevel the edges and paint to match the wall and use the anchors/bolts that came with the mount to attach it to the plywood in four of the eight mounting holes, then in the other four I will use the heavy duty drywall anchors for a little extra support in the middle of the plywood, just for extra measure.  The TV weighs 55 lbs and the mount about the same, so total of about 110 lbs.  I think this system should work ok, any other ideas?</p></blockquote><p></p>
