Hi,
I'm looking to mount my new tv on the wall, but its quite big so I want to make sure I do it correctly. I looked for studs and the stud finder showed that the studs are 6" apart, which is way to close for a normal wall. So then I made some holes where the stud finder showed that there are studs and in some places where it didn't. All of these holes showed that there is some kind of wood behind the wall, and I've heard that it could be plywood backing to make tv mounting easier. Is this common in new houses? And if it is plywood backing specifically for a tv, can I install my tv mount directly onto it or do I need some special bolt or anchor...especially because my tv is 85" and heavy (100 lbs).
Thanks
