Ok, so there is a LOT of bad advice in here. I will tell you what I would do as someone who has installed over 80 tvs in the past two years on a variety of building types.

  1. There are studs. Drywall needs something to hold it up. What you're probably looking at is steel studs. They're probably at either 16, 18, 20, or 24" intervals. The only exception to this would be if this is an exterior wall or solid brick on the other side; in that case there might be furring strips, but that's unlikely, so I won't address it.
  2. Use a magnetic stud finder to find the studs. This will work for both metal and steel studs.
  3. Use this type of mount (it accommodates wide studs): https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Articulating-Swivel-600x400mm-PERLESMITH/dp/B078GK6JD3/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=tv+mount+wide+studs&qid=1574651505&sr=8-3
  4. Metal studs are thin u shapes. You're drilling into the thin edges, which are approximately 1.5" wide. Use a very small drill bit (1/16), and drill small holes to either side of where you think the center of the stud is. As soon as you're able to push the drill bit in and hit hollow, you know you have edge of the stud. Do that for both sides, then you'll know where the center is.
  5. Drill a pilot hole in the drywall where you want to put your toggle bolt.
  6. Use a step bit to drill a hole in the metal stud, it needs to be 1/2" wide: https://www.amazon.com/ABN-Drive-Steps-Titanium-Drill/dp/B07CXBGZQ8/ref=sr_1_11_sspa?keywords=step+bit&qid=1574651671&sr=8-11-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExRUdPTlhPMlBXM0QmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2Nzk0MTIzVFA3M05YVkg4TTdMJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwNzM0MDMzOFEzMlo5WEZHMTBVJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
  7. Use a snap toggle, which will open up inside the metal stud and then you can bolt to that. You can safely mount MOST tvs unless it's like 70" + or suuuuper heavy and old (like 55 lbs +). These are what you want to use: https://www.amazon.com/TOGGLER-SNAPTOGGLE-Zinc-Plated-Channel-Fastener/dp/B0051IBBUE/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=snap+toggle&qid=1574651856&sr=8-8
  8. You'll need 4 snap toggles through the studs, one in each corner. Then put 2 more in just the drywall in the middle of the mount frame on the wall.
  9. If you must use that mount originally linked, you can cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to span both studs, use snap toggles to attach that to the studs and then attach that mount to the plywood with the 3 lag bolts they provided.
  10. Do NOT use any anchors other than toggle bolts. Remember that drywall anchors are rated for FAILURE STRENGTH. Meaning an anchor rated for 60 lbs has a safe working load of 1/4 of that, 15 lbs. Snap toggle are rated for 250 lbs in drywall only. Safe working load is like 60ish lbs. No other drywall anchors are remotely close to toggle bolts in drywall, and are categorically unsafe being used on an articulating wall mount (lever effect results on effective weight of tv being doubled at full extension).

You don't need studs. I installed mine in drywall using these they are amazing and super easy to use. All I need is a little spackle to patch up the holes when I leave.

I use a combination of these into the stud and or in the void for everything from my mounted Tv's to a bike rack.

For the stud portion of your mount:

And these in the void between studs:

We use THESE when installing heavier drapery rods that can't be attached to a stud. Very sturdy, easy to work with, and removable in the future.
