I’ve installed a half dozen of these between my house and last apartment. I’ve compared them to many more expensive (and complicated) alternatives, and these have always been my choice. 

No junction box needed, no cutting a massive square in your wall required, and not hard to install. They come with drywall anchors and mounting hardware. but to install them easily you’ll need a few things.

 - Power drill (preferably) or Power screwdriver
 - 1/2” bore bit (for the hole your wires will run through)
 - Small sized drill bit (to drill pilot holes for your anchors)
 - Hammer (to tap the anchors into the pilot holes)
 - Screwdriver

You could also use a little jigsaw to cut a hole in the wall, but I’ve found that a bore bit is more controlled. You can use a bit slighter larger or smaller to fit your needs, but 1/2” has been a good general size for mounting a TV in my experience.

Your end result will look like this (see image)

It’s actually really easy - Good luck!

You don't need a junction box unless you are running power. I would suggest buying a real power bridge if that's your intention. For AV cables it is perfectly fine too run without a junction box. I don't recall if it came with anchors or not, we used them but we had a lot of various anchors and screws already.

It comes with drywall screws, drywall anchors, and electrical boxes as screws. It can mount to drywall with just a small hole for the cables when a box isn't needed.

Yes, included

This comes with drywall anchors but you're better off mounting to junction box if you have the option.
