[SML] OT : Hanging Flat Screen TV

[Barney Simon]

It seems there is the 3/4" or so of the pine, then horizontal nailing strips that I can see the rows of brads through the tongue and grove.  I think THAT attached to the studs.

As to cantilever : I expect there will be some tilting to change glare.

Do the mounting instructions tell you to screw into the studs?

Modern flat screens are not very heavy, I wouldn't worry about finding the studs unless you plan to cantilever the screen out from the wall.

What is under the knotty pine? If it is solid wood, then there should be plenty of strength to hold the weight.
