Mounting a 40 LCD on an office drywall.?

The office wall only have the thin aluminum or metal support which is separate at every 16quot;This is common in every office space, especially in a commercial business buildingI'm trying to mount a 40quot; LCD tv in a conference roomI know that using a back board will help supporting the mounting but will it be sturdy enough to hold? I'm planning to screw a back board onto the drywall, then mount the tv onto the back boardWill that work? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciatedThank you.

Answer:

Don't depend on the drywall alone, regardless of what weight rating is on an anchor packageMount the TV wall-mount hardware so that the screws hit the steel studs: they're plenty strong enoughHit two studs on 16 inch centers, two screws each, top and bottomYour TV won't fallJust make sure that you use the right screws for the steel studs.
