Default TV Arm on plasterboard wall - holes there now.

Come on guys, did he not say a 15" LCD, not a 32" CRT

Quite often for a small bracket you can catch one stud but not
tother...

Therefore...a decent toggle which becomes part of the board is not a
bad idea.

Bear in mind there are not the usual rubbish toggles, use them and you
will get the idea, perfect for most things apart from Tanks of course!


The toggles aren't the problem, they can easily break the board.

The problem is the lack of strength in plasterboard.

Add the fact that the bottom of the bracket will be pushing the board into
the wall and the top pulling it out with a large mechanical advantage and
the problems multiply.
