The question has likely been asked before, but before I proceed, I just need to ensure this will work.
I live in a house built in '83 and am now considering mounting the TV on the wall in the living room. The walls throughout the house are (what I believe to be) plywood with studs behind. It's wood anyway If it's important to know what type of board it is, how can I find out without having to remove wallpaper or drill unnecessarily?
Do I need to consider anything special, like making sure the mount is attached to a stud? Or is it okay to just hang the TV on the wall?
Edit:
A few years ago, we got a new kitchen and the wall cabinets were mounted on similar walls without problems. I don't know if they used the studs for that, but these frames (+ contents) are significantly heavier than the TV.
Those brackets are designed to support a TV even if it's not positioned directly behind it. So, find a couple of studs and screw them in with real wood screws without plugs. Knock and listen, or use a stud finder.
Technically, you can check the table for for example anakarskruv. According to it, a half screw of the shortest length should suffice, and with the wall mount in thin sheet metal, it carries 580 N (60 kg) in radial load. But maybe you want to use a bit more than half a screw (since it's difficult to achieve) and have some margin.
