And if you really want something sturdy, open your sheetrock carefully and install a solid 12-18" x 3/4" board in between the two studs. Replace sheetrock, tape-n-float, texture, and paint. But that's way overkill if you ask anyone.

I can not even find a single one that can mount to my wall ,not even the $400 Sanus from BB ,who ever designs these things are complete morons
I have normal sheet rock and plaster walls with standard 16" stud spacing, I just took down my old 50" Panasonic plasma
From the wall,(not easy)
To replace it with a 55" LG C1 OLED
Only to find out that the collective I.Q. of the planet seems to have dropped at least 100 points since 2009 when I bought the plasma and the wall mount for it .
The old mont is able to hit my studs no problem, but it is not full motion and I want the maximum extension from the wall I can get since I am really nearsighted now and the games ,esowi playstation have the most ridiculously small fonts for everything, I mean can they help it , really.
So I went and picked up the Costco Sanus model that extends 28" from the wall
Only to find out that the wall plate is too short to even be used at all
It misses the studs by just under 1" on each side.
I have been buying and return these things like crazy ,first one didn't fit the TV ,second one was redesigned,
Bought them both before I took the old TV down turns out neither of them would have worked anyway.
Nor does the new one I just got
Went to BB and measured the wall plate for the expensive Sansus ,FML it it too short too and even worse than the cheaper Costco one!
Spent hundreds of hours looking on Amazon ,not a single one can mount to my wall , not a single one of them have holes 32" stud spacing of you need to mount the TV with a center stud centered behind the center of the TV,
This was not a problem 15 years ago but it is now apparently ,I was really not expecting this at all.
People have really gotten a whole lot dumber in a very short amount of time it seems, so frustrated especially since the Sanus only misses it by under 2"
God damnit those people are just so stupid all they would have had to do was make the wall plate like 1 1/4 " bigger and provide max hole spacing not even 2" wider.
It looks I might be able to drill out the Sanus from Costco but just barely ,the holes will be at the bleeding edge of the corners ,if this doesn't work it looks like I am all out of options unless I get a welder to weld extensions to each end
Imagine working for Sanus and designing these this for a living and not even knowing you are making a product that can not even be used, and then having the balls to charge $400 for it.
Dude. The weight is borne on the center pivot. SO, put the center of the plate over a stud and put in 2 each 3" lag bolts. The put a large drywall anchor on each side at the last holes in the ends of the plate and put a screw in each of them. The center will bear the weight and the corners will simply prevent it from shifting. Easy peasy. The mount .is rated for 120lbs. most 65" tvs are half that.

The mount spec can support upto 120lb, but seems quite risky if the TV streches all way forward
