50 TV to mount to plasterboard wall? Help?

Im thinking of mounting by living room t.v to the wall, but the only problem is the wall is plasterboard and it's pretty weak.Any solutions to this problem?Thanks

Answer:

Easist is to remove the plasterboard where going to mount the TV, and replace it with 1/2 plywood screwed to the studs behind. Then buy some joint compound and cover the plywood and paint it after dried. Now you have a secure mounting platform for the TV.
If you don't want to remove the drywall, make sure that you mount the bracket into a stud. You don't want to have to buy this TV again when it falls off the wall.
