Need to install one that will span 3 studs as the central one is in the middle of where the TV goes.

 

Anyone seen any 900mm long ones around?

 

Ive found 700mm long ones on surplustronics, but the outer 2 studs are about 800 apart.

As long as you have two screws in the studs and the four in jib grabbers you will be fine ( in fact the jib grabbers are fine as they are rated to about 20kg ea depending on which ones you get.

 

I did have to wallmount a 85" Sony 4K TV that weighed about 80kg out of the box, that needed to go into studs and there was a special bracket from Sony. What we did was get a piece of 5 or 7 ply about 15mm thick and put that in the wall with log & strong screws, then on with the bracket and you could not see a thing.
