<div dir="ltr">That's heavy monitor, especially by today's standards. First thing I'd do is see if you can find a PDF of the manual on-line. Always good to have. From your description it sounds like part of the old mount may still be attached. I'd take anything like that off and set the pieces aside, saving any screws or bolts holding the bracket(s) to the TV. There should be threaded inserts where the brackets are meant to attach. Measure the hole spacing both vertically and horizontally. <div><br></div><div>Then I'd go to Monoprice.com and take a look at the different styles of mounts. If there's a place with a wider selection of mounts with better prices I'm not aware of one. You're going to need a hefty mount for the 130 lb. unit. Not sure if Monoprice offers tech support over the phone, but you can use chat or email. Give them an idea of the type of mount you want then give them the weight of the unit, with make & model if you have it, and the hole spacing. I'm guessing you should be able to get what you need for $80 or less.</div><div><br></div><div>Their kits should include a wide range of screws and anchors to both attach the mount to the wall and the TV to the mount. I'd use four 3 inch long quarter inch lag screws (into studs) to attach the mount to the wall. You could use a piece of 3/4 inch plywood attached into wall studs if the slots in the bracket aren't long enough to span the distance between two studs, although I expect a bracket heavy duty enough to hold 130 lbs. should be wide enough.</div><div><br></div><div>HTH - I've done a ton of installs like this</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Dec 24, 2018 at 7:34 PM eric--- via Shop-talk <<a href="mailto:shop-talk@autox.team.net">shop-talk@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Merry Christmas and

<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I do have a very
dumb question that I'm sure there is someone out there has the answer to.</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><br>
I got a 65" plasma monitor/TV from work (they were getting rid of
it because they bought new systems.) </span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Anyway, there
is no stand for it, so I was trying to buy a wall mount for it. </span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">All the wall mounts
I see out there either list the TV mount* distance only up to 600mm (about
23.6") or they don't even give this diemenion. (*= this
is the 'studs' on the TV that you mount the mount to.)</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">The TV has 44"
mounts on the back only. Does anyone know what mount I need for this?
(note, I don't need any tilting or stand-off feature, but If they
are there, I don't mind.()</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">The TV is about
130LBS (nice to have a fork lift to weigh these things! ) 8>)
Most mounts listed for this size tv can handle that weight, but I
can't find any that I know have the 44" wide TV mounts.</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Thanks in advance,
I hope all of you have a great Holiday!</span>
