Wouldn't it be very difficult the day you need to move, for example, if you've glued a panel to the drywall?
Shouldn't it be sufficient to just screw the panel into the studs and then attach the TV to the panel?
 
A couple of proper screws in the studs are enough. Then the molly plug also keeps the board in place.

hm ok, so it might work with plugs... But I guess a wall mount that you can pull out and angle the TV would be too much to hope for? Considering the extra force from the moment?
No, it won't hold. My 42-incher tumbled down nicely onto the floor despite using strong expanders. My son was very surprised when he pulled out the arm and the whole thing crashed onto the parquet. I sawed a hole in the plasterboard halfway over the stud and inset a small OSB board behind it, also cross-braced between the studs. Then added new plasterboard, spackle, and paint. A bit more work than just attaching the board to the plasterboard, but neater...
 
If you're going to glue, use ESSTACK PRO1, and instead of a metal expander, use Plattiplugg. Both are in a class of their own. Plattiplugg holds as much as the board and cannot be pulled out like a metal expander. It costs a few kronor more but is entirely worth the 20-30:- it costs.
