If they were okay with 1.25" off-center then they would have mounted the TV by now and not asked this question. My impression is that a person who buys a Samsung Frame TV is probably not the kind of person to be indifferent about having something off-center on a 6 inch reveal. Are you sincerely trying to convince me to offer a sub-par solution? You are more than welcome to write your own answer or upvote the other opinions that people posted. | |

| Dec 14, 2020 at 15:13 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | @manassehkatz-Moving2Codidact OP seems to be trying to rationalize toggle bolts and I am here to supply a firm "No". Given that they are worried about 1.25" off-center then I assume they are the type of person to notice or will uncomfortably live with knowing that it is in fact off center. | |

| Dec 14, 2020 at 15:05 | comment | added | manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact | OP has made it clear that if they move 1.25" then they hit the studs. Sheetrock over studs if 100% fine, safe and normal. Sheetrock by itself is a definite No. | |
| Dec 14, 2020 at 15:02 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | @manassehkatz-Moving2Codidact Whether it's 1.25", 8", or 2' off it doesn't matter. The serious problem is that OP wants to mount a TV on sheetrock. I'm not here to convince them to live with 1.25" off-center. OP has 2 choices: do it or do it right and I hope to help them achieve the latter. | |
