A:Answer This mount is designed for 16" OC studs. If you want it mounted on (2) 24"OC studs you can't do it with this mount only. If the center of where you want it installed is where a stud is, then there is also no center mounting holes on the bracket to use either, The best case mounting for this bracket is if the center of where you want it mounted is exactly the center between (2) 16" studs. The best case for all other mounting positions is getting at least one stud and the other side in drywall. For my case of the 24" OC stud right in the center of where I want it mounted, means both sides would have to be in drywall. I was told by Best Buy that this mount would work with 24" OC studs but after looking at the problem I decided to have them try to do it and if that means all screws are in drywall, then I will get them to guarantee the install, including any repairs to the wall and replacement of the television, should it fail. Just so people understand, the 2 rows of holes are spaced sort of like this:
O O O-------------O O O
O O O-------------O O O
The two end holes are 16" OC. (The holes are horizontally elongated, but there is no character like that.)
The total width of the mounting bracket is 18".
See the picture of one end of the mounting template for other details.
