Sky glass tv mounting on plasterboard

I'm currently moving house and have my 65" sky glass tv mounted on the wall. Which is solid brick however, the new house had plasterboard and no external solid wall. I'm wondering if anyone has mounted their tv to plasterboard and recommend on best items to use please.

HI @Shanice92 

 

I have a non Glass TV mounted on plasterboard using these Grips: https://www.screwfix.com/p/gripit-tv-clam-plasterboard-fixings-25mm-x-205mm-4-pack/371HP?tc=ZB3&gad_...

 

However Glass is a heavy beast, 28kg without the stand. While these fixings should be able to take the weight, the general wisdom would be to use a professional.

Given the weight of the tv, I wouldn't have thought a plasterboard wall would be suitable. At the very least I'd recommend professional advice.

@Shanice92 I also have plasterboard walls and there is absolutely no way I would have trusted hanging my 55" glass TV on the wall.  I have seen a number of pictures in the past of plasterboard "fails" when hanging Glass TVs. As suggested by both @Mark39 and @mikealanr I would certainly get professional advice.

 

Not for purposes of hanging Glass TVs I have tried a number of fixings and didn't like the Gripit linked in the post above.  By far the best fixings I have found are Bullfix which I purchased on Amazon.
