I’m looking to wall mount a 55” TV at home. It’s weight is specified at about 13kg. Will it be fine to only fasten it in the stud on one of the sides? Our walls are regular drywall.

      I wouldn’t go any thinner than 0.5” (1.3cm). You want to have enough depth for the mounting screws to get some grip.

      If you’re worried about the wood being visible, I think another person suggested painting it to match the wall. You could also just paint it black to match the tv.
