I also know exactly where the studs are.Â* I have a photo of the framed

Depending on the mount, the brackets that are bolted to the back of the
screen hook onto the upper wall bracket and the bottom swings into
place. The last video wall I put together had a flat rod that locked
the bottom into place with the option to padlock it so the TV was secure.

The other screens I maintain have a spring latch mechanism that "clicks"
the bottom bracket into place.

That's how the ones I have worked too. There was a small cord in the back
that you later pull to release the latch so it comes off. There is
flexibility on the spacing of the verticles on the wall so that you
can be on joists.

Ed should also consider how to run the power cord and cables. There are
wall boxes you can put in behind it that have a receptacle and coax,
plus an opening to run HDMI, or whatever through. HD has them.
