Flat Screen Wall Mount Help

[BuddyBoy]

I buy all my TV wall mounts from Monoprice. I haven't used lag screws in ages, having switched to structural screws many years ago. I'm pretty confident GRK RSS fasteners have much higher pull-out strength and comparable shear to much larger diameter lag screws, and an impact driver drives them into studs like a hot knife through butter:

If you need one, get a kit to relocate an outlet behind the TV. Running the power cord through the wall is ghetto and an NEC violation. I've tried several and like this one best:

You can save a few bucks and buy the non-prewired kit if you already have a piece of appropriate NM (Romex) cable sitting around.

Thanks for the tip on those GRK screws! My local Home Depot sells them for 87 cents each - how many would you suggest using per stud and I'm assuming the 5/16" x 3-1/8" for size? No issues with power as there's an outlet right below my preferred mounting location.

The Monoprice Titan Mount was delivered overnight as promised about an hour ago and seems very well-built.

EDIT - Mounting Bracket is designed to use four mounting bolts for the studs.

4-6 screws total would be plenty for a 75lb TV. It depends on how many studs your plywood board is covering. 2 screws per stud, one at the top and one at the bottom. (If your board is 3' wide, it should cover 3 studs. depending on where you put it)

My 60lb screen is held up by only 4 screws, and it definitely ain't going anywhere.
