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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will have to add 2 pieces of 2x4's (one for the top and the other for the bottom bolt of either side of the template) to connect the 24" spaced studs. I've tried the drywall anchor method on one side, and even though they were rated for 100lbs, it still ripped right off the wall while adjusting the tension arms. If this was a flush mount, the drywall method may work, but since this is a full motion mount, I'd recommend taking the extra steps to ensure sturdiness -- definitely not worth sacrificing a 75" TV being dropped. Keep in mind the extra work includes patching and painting the drywall again.

I had only one side that went into a metal stud and the other was of course 24 in on center. So I took a 1 inch wide x 1/8 inch thick metal strap and self taping screws. I then screwed the strap that was long enough to catch both metal studs. I attached a strap for the top horizontally and a strap for the bottom like wise. Marked the holes using the template. Then used self tapping screws to attach the bracket to my straps. Very solid. Unlike what I can say for the Dynex mount.
