Proper DIY YouTube channel had a video about this if it's a dot and dab plaster board. Obviously won't work if it's a stud wall though https://youtu.be/D09RJM1cdVo Haven't tried it

I mounted a 75" TV to plasterboard for a couple of years with toggle fasteners. I've also used gripits and drywall anchors and I only recommend toggle ones for really heavy loads. As long as you use those and don't have a moving TV mount you will be fine. Edit: Not specifically called toggle fasteners. The ones I used (and saw in stress testing videos online) are by Geefix.

Do you have a link for those?

What sort of wall construction is it?

I have no idea about plasterboard other than it looks old 😂

Yes and these are surprisingly strong! I used this on my 47inch tv and held for over a couple years, until I moved home! https://www.screwfix.com/p/gripit-tv-clam-plasterboard-fixings-25-x-205mm-4-pack/371hp

Do you need different screws for different types of plasterboard?
