Question from Andreas: Hello, Rick. I hope you can help me.

I recently replaced my ancient Windows 10 computer with a new Dell with Windows 11 on it. It came with a 24 inch flat panel monitor and I love the enhanced sharpness and clarity.

– Ad –Auoace No Stud TV Wall Mount

Have you ever tried attaching a TV mounting bracket to a wall only to find there were no studs in the places where you needed them to be? And don’t get me started on the difficulty of using drywall anchors!

Or perhaps you moved a TV to a different place and were left with unsightly anchors and/or holes in your wall?

Well, this gem solves both of those problems. You can mount any VESA 12-55 inch TV (up to 99 lbs) without drilling any holes in your wall or needing to locate any studs. And if you ever decide to move the TV you won’t be left with any ugly large holes, anchors or screws. This is hands-down the best way to install a TV on your wall.
