Wall mount TV masonite wall

[Jens33]

Hello
The wall is masonite, I think the boards are 10 mm or 13 mm.
At first, I thought about screwing directly into the studs, but then the TV would not be centered and would be misplaced against the window.
I was thinking of using molly plugs but as few as possible.
The TV weighs 12 kilos and is 48 inches. Is it okay with 2dt molly?

Place a nice planed board against the Masonite wall.
For example, a 22x120 mm pine board, which you screw into the studs.
Or choose a type of wood you think fits better, or paint this "stud."
Then screw the TV mounts onto this board where it fits best.

Place a nice planed board against the hardboard wall. For example, a 22x120 mm pine board, which you screw into the studs. Or choose a wood type that you think fits better, or paint this "stud." Then attach the TV mounts to this board where it fits best.

What you're saying is the solution to all problems with TVs and flimsy wall material. That's how I solved the mounting for my plasma TV many years ago.

What you're writing is indeed the solution to all problems with TV and flimsy wall material. That's how I solved the mounting for my plasma TV many years ago.

Yes, it will be fun to see the result at @Jens33.

At our place, we just have a 43-incher that stands on a TV stand

We only have a 43-incher standing on a TV bench

Technically, it's a very good alternative. The plank will stick out about 15 cm on the right side.
The wife doesn't agree to it for aesthetic reasons.
Plan B?

Bigger TV?

Plan B; Extend it so that it sticks out 15 cm on the left side as well.

Plan C: Hang a piece of fabric in a suitable color behind the TV.

What does it look like on the back of the Masonite?
Is it built into a wall, or accessible?

Alternative: Place the board along the entire wall and use it to hang pictures or other beautiful things you have.
Alternative: complement it with a horizontal board, and place photos of the children and small keepsakes on it. Like this:

Technically, it's a very good alternative. The plank will protrude about 15 cm on the right side.

Plan B ?

Use a board/multiple planks and frame the entire TV.

Use a board/several planks and frame the entire TV.

That looks pretty good!

Hi The wall is fiberboard, I think the panels are 10 mm or 13 mm. Initially, I thought of screwing directly into the studs, but then the TV won't be centered and would be poorly placed in relation to the window. I was thinking of using molly plugs but as few as possible. The TV weighs 12 kilos and is 48 inches. Is it okay with 2dt molly?

In terms of weight, Molly holds, but there are always risks - plasterboard is the weak link.

Your real plan B is then to open up the wall, add studs, plaster, spackle, paint.

This is the most stylish solution!

But come on now...12 kg. That's nothing.

Use regular wood screws 6mm in an appropriate length. The mount probably wants four of them and then it will be secure and never come loose.

That's true, but masonite is not something to screw into either.

Use regular wood screws 6mm in a suitable length. The bracket will probably want four of them and then it will be fixed and never come loose.

My coat rack has been up for five years now with two 4.8mm screws in single drywall. There are two drywall anchors in the hat and glove basket 'just in case'
