mounting tv to single wall stud

[utajoker]

Hi

Have a samsung u360ru7100k that i want to wall mount on a stud wall.

spec says it weighs just under 14kg.

i want to mount it in the corner of my room so have got a full motion wall mount.

Where it is being positioned it will be mounted to the first stud in the wall, will a single stud take the weight or would it be worth putting a piece of wood between 2 studs and mounting to that?

Im leaning towards a piece of wood between 2 studs just for extra security.

Thanks,

it will not be moved and will not be far out from the wall. It will just be angled towards my desk and not moved again.

i think i will just put a piece of timber in to be safe.

Well ended up testing it on 1 stud and it took my weight with no problem so put it up.

It doesnt look it but its 50", just need to hide the cables now.
