Flat Panel TV mounting question?
I am planning on mounting my flat panel tv on the wall of a new room we just built. I put a sheet of 1/2 inch OSB board on the wall and then put drywall over it so as to be able to mount the tv wherever I want. Do you think it will hold, or should I still mount it into the studs? The TV weighs about 85lbs. Thanks.
Always go with the studs for something that heavy and valuable. Have you seen that commercial on TV where the guy’s flat panel crashes to the floor? I cringe every time I see it.
