You can mount a TV without studs by using a no stud TV mount designed for drywall or plasterboard. These mounts distribute weight across the wall using multiple small fasteners and a wide rail.

• Confirm the mount is rated for drywall and matches your TV’s size, weight, and VESA pattern.
• Pick a fixed or tilting, low-profile style if you don’t need extension.
• Use the included level/template to position the rail and install the provided fasteners as directed.
• Attach the TV brackets, hang the TV on the rail, and secure any safety locks.

If you want swivel/extension, consider column mounts or mounting into studs or masonry. On Walmart, filters for TV size and features can help you narrow options.

No stud TV mounts can be reliable when they’re matched to your TV and installed on suitable drywall as intended. Reliability depends on the product’s rating, your wall condition, and careful installation.

• Capacity: Compare your TV’s weight to the mount’s rating; many list capacities from about 80 lbs to 150+ lbs.
• Compatibility: Match your TV’s VESA pattern and size range.
• Safety listings: Consider third-party marks (e.g., ETL) noted by some models.
• Wall condition: Standard, undamaged drywall/sheetrock is typically required.
• Installation: Follow the instructions and use all specified fasteners.

If you need frequent swiveling or large extension, a stud or masonry solution may be more appropriate for your setup.

Many studless mounts are designed for drywall and use multiple fasteners to spread the load. A general approach looks like this:

1. Verify fit: Confirm TV weight, size range, and VESA pattern match the mount.
2. Check wall: Ensure you’re mounting to standard drywall/sheetrock in good condition and choose a clear spot away from utilities.
3. Mark height: Use the included template or level to mark holes.
4. Attach rail: Install the provided fasteners (often nails) exactly as instructed.
5. Prepare TV: Attach brackets to the TV using the screws that fit your VESA holes.
6. Hang and lock: Place the TV onto the rail and engage safety locks.
7. Final check: Confirm level and gently test for secure engagement.

Installation steps can vary by model, so always follow the manufacturer’s guide.

For an 80 lb TV on drywall without studs, match the mount and wall to the job before you start.

• Weight rating: Choose a no stud mount that’s explicitly rated at or above 80 lbs on drywall.
• VESA and size: Confirm the mount supports your TV’s VESA pattern and screen size range.
• Wall condition: Use flat, undamaged drywall; avoid patched or compromised areas.
• Fasteners: Use every fastener provided and place them where the instructions specify to distribute load.
• Mount style: A fixed or tilting, low-profile design can help reduce leverage on the wall.

If you’re unsure about the wall or fit, consider mounting into studs or concrete where the mount supports those surfaces.

Match the mount to your TV and wall to find the best fit.

• Weight and size: Pick a capacity above your TV’s weight and within the stated size range.
• VESA pattern: Make sure the mount’s max VESA matches your TV’s hole spacing.
• Wall type: Look for drywall/sheetrock or plasterboard ratings; avoid options not intended for your surface.
• Style: Fixed for the slimmest profile; tilting helps reduce glare and improve cable access.
• Safety: Consider third-party safety listings and included safety locks.
• Install-ready: Check for included hardware, a level/template, and clear instructions.

On Walmart, use filters for TV size and features to narrow choices, with delivery or pickup for convenience.
