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"
