Mounting a TV on a plasterboard wall?
I want to mount my TV on a drywall in the living room. The drywall is 13mm thick. Which wall anchors are best suited for this? The TV is 65 inches and weighs approximately 23kg. I've just ordered these wall anchors. Are they good wall anchors, or do you have any better recommendations?

The top ones are exactly the right dowels. The weight of the device is directed downwards rather than forwards, which definitely holds the wall.
Oh great, so it's enough if I screw the wall mount directly into the plasterboard with the dowels? So, is the 13mm thick plasterboard thick enough to support 23 kg? Should I also screw the wall mount into the battens for better support, or is it sufficient to screw the wall mount directly into the plasterboard?
Directly against the wall is enough. You don't pull on the screws, but push them down; they don't have much to hold. The dowels spread out behind the wall, which holds them.
Thank you 😊😊😊
That's fine, I would have done it the same way myself.
Oh great, I was a little worried because the plasterboard is only 13mm thick. But 13mm is enough, then?
If you just want to attach the dowels to the plasterboard, then it won't last today and your TV will crash.
The TV must be properly anchored to the wall
What exactly do you mean? Where else should I attach the dowels besides the drywall?
You have to anchor it in the wall
the plasterboard breaks at 23 kg
that never lasts
All right, thanks
But it has to be wood, you don't have a plasterboard and that's standing in the room, your wall has to be made of wood or metal studs, then you have to screw a board onto the outside of the wall that is properly attached to the wall studs, and you can screw the bracket for the television onto this board, but it won't work on the plasterboard.
no of course the road isn't there 😂
and behind the plasterboard there is a wall, or is the street behind it.
I don't have a wall, I have plasterboard walls
