tv wall fixing General problems, solutions, information and advice on fixing to walls of all kinds

[tvroom]

Need to fix 42" LCD TV to plasterboard on stud wall. TV wall mounting kit has huge nails that will go through to next room so will not work. So how can we safely put TV on wall and also hide the many cables across the back to the power point?

tvroom,
Cut away the plasterboard where the bracket will fit and down to the socket.
Reinforce for fixing the bracket, run the cables and refit the cut out plasterboard.
