Wall mounting TV (lemmy.ml)

If the stud is more or less centered on the bracket, and it is a fixed position mount, then I personally would go for it.

But most mounts are designed and wide enough to span a minimum of 2 studs. Your best bet is to either spend a few bucks on a wider mount or attach some blocking to the wall. As others have mentioned
