METAL STUD PLASMA INSTALLATION:

* Measure height/ width and mark center of display on the wall.
* Cut a strip from beam to beam the same width as the plasma wall bracket.
* Replace drywall strip with plywood that is the same thickness as the drywall removed.
* Secure the plywood to the beams with self tapping screws.
* Secure the bracket to the plywood backing with screws and washers.
* Now the plasma display will cover the modification that was done to the wall.
* Now you are totally confident that the plasma is mounted to the bracket, the bracket is mounted to the plywood, and the plywood is secured to the metal studs.
* He who hangs a $15,000 plasma on a metal studded wall with toggle bolts should really consider the liability involved. I can look a client in the eye and tell them with confidence, "that plasma is not going ANYWHERE"
