How to hang up a large photograph?

I have a few framed photographs, one is roughly the size of a 40" TV that I like to hang up but never got round to it because the walls are all stud plaster wall. I know that I need to find the stud and I know that they should be 600mm apart, the question is how do you find it?

How do you guys tackle hanging a large photo?

Wall plugs to hang something the size of a 40" TV? really?

Somehow i got this fear the plasterboard will just get ripped out from the weight.

Even if it's been framed and glazed properly a picture that size isn't that heavy. Wall plugs should be fine.

How heavy is not that heavy?

I'm going to guess about 10IBs?
