The point I'm making is nothing to do with cost or labour involved or
anything like that. I'm just saying that my 15-year old TV bracket is
rated to carry up to and including 60Kg and it came supplied with the 6
screws and plugs to do the job, already in the box - that's what the
manufacturers of the bracket supplied so I used them and it's worked
for me.



That's fine.

I've seen some products where the manufacturer's recommended fixing is
clearly woefully inadquately specified. The other aspect is that the
fixing is highly dependent on what it goes into.

GIven the value of the equipment, I would choose based on what I've
used before and no works. If it's massive overkill then so be it. I
would rather minimise the risk rather than hoping.
