Mounting TV to a wall

Next project for the new house. We have an aging entry level (heavy) LG 55" and the wall in question is an internal plasterboard wall, so worried about mounting such a heavy thing to it. My brother-in-law gave me some dry wall anchors that are supposedly rated for heavy loads like TVs and has had no issues with his but posts I've seen on here and the Internet suggest it's a bad idea. We're keen to upgrade the TV (currently eyeing up his new Samsung The Frame) so chances are the replacement would be lighter but any recommendations for a mounting solution?

Thanks for the quick response, saw Sanus mentioned in another thread - will check out. But yeah basically looking for a metal mount with a little swivel or bracket to hang the TV along with the appropriate anchor for the screws/bracket.

Not entirely sure what you're asking about, but if it's about the fixings to the plasterboard wall I can fully recommend these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/gripit-tv-clam-plasterboard-fixings-25mm-x-205mm-4-pack/371hp

Using them for my 65" LG, they are solid. Also using them for a 43" in the bedroom with is on a swivel mount, so the TV is quite far away from the wall and no issues whatsoever.
Magnifique, thanks.

Now to determine how good The Frame is, very impressed with it so far though imagine there are better options for that price range if the art aspect isn't your thing.
 
Definitely getting cold feet again, our carpenter says he wouldn't risk it. Says any solution is as good/weak as the plasterboard. Current TV weighs 15Kg.
