Monitor mounting to drywall

Iglesias · Jun 29, 2014

I am buying this monitor and I want to mount it to the wall.

I have drywall and I don't know if it's strong enough to hold this monitor.

I plan to mount the monitors on this mount.

Do you think I will be safe?

As long as you drill the mount to a stud then it will be fine.

I don't know if I have a stud behind the wall.

TechyInAZ :

I don't know if I have a stude behind the wall, how do I find that?

tea urchin :

I know I have studs but I don't know where they're located.

tea urchin :

I mean it's only gonna be like 6 pounds. I'm sure the drywall will support that easily?

tea urchin :

It will for sure be under than 7 pounds max, so 4 toggle bolts would be good?
The mount only has 2 holes though.

There are always studs in a house, use a stud finder to find one.
