Mount a plasma on a metal stud plasterboard wall

["Jeremy Aston" <jeremyaston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have been asked to mount a plasma onto a metal stud plasterboard
wall.   It's a 42" screen with a weight (not inc mount) of around
31kg.  It is either a Hitachi or NEC panel btw - not sure which one
the customer will go for yet.

Has anyone done such a thing and what approach did you use?  Is it
safe to fix to the board and through a couple of upright studs or is
it better to fix a ply board first and fit through that?  If it is
possible then what are the best fixings to use?  Are there some 3rd
party mounts better for this sort of thing than others?

Many thanks in advance.
