Hi All,

Had a bit of a browse for this Q in the group but couldn't find a
decent answer.

I want to secure a 26" LCD screen to a partition wall, only thing is
that I dont reckon the wall can handle this. I've got the option of
drilling right through the whole wall to the other side if necesary.

Would this work if I put a large metal plate on one side of the wall,
drilled through the plate and whole partition to the other side, then
into the wall TV wall mount.

Or will the problem be more the downward force of the TV?

Thanks for any input

I mounted a 17" widescreen lcd monitor to a plasterboard wall, it was
'inconvenient' to locate it into one of the studs so i decided to try
and mound the bracket directly using plasterboard fixings (bracket
required 6). The monitor was rock solid and hasnt caused me any concern
over the past year or so it has been mounted like that. If it did seem a
bit unstable i would have went for the batten between studs option.
