What the giant wall of text tells me is exactly what I understood to be true - you are a layman playing expert.
I can guarantee there are actual experts in display positioning, sizing, mounting requirements, pathway, etc. Yes, they do notice the difference.
You do not, because you don’t know what you’re talking about, while pretending to be an expert. Please just stop. Hi, I am one of those experts in this field! I don’t physically install, hell I don’t even do the drawing work anymore, but I can tell you right now you haven’t got a clue.
So please, move on. Stop being weird.
Edit: I’ll give you a free tip. Mounting to the stud is not what you want to do. What you want to do is straddle studs with 3/4" ply for blocking, which is what you mount to.

If the builder had the wherewithal to provide blocking, which I’ll agree is mandatory for anything bigger than 55" (and a 2x8 or 2x10 spanned between the stud bays is a bit better, it provides more meat for the lags to sink into and most jobsites will have some in a scrap pile). But for 55" and smaller, 5/16" x 2" lags into the 2x4 studs is plenty sufficient. Ply works if you want to use toggle bolts, but you have to notch it into the stud for the drywall to sit flat.
It definitely happens, though rarely for a living room or family room. Usually smaller ones are in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, kids rooms, offices, etc.
And… where on the facebook picture is that backing piece?
Also, could you do a few curls before you explain it to me? This way I have an ice strong masculine role model to teach me how I can see through drywall in jpegs.
If it was done right, you don’t see it without looking for the patching of the drywall in the original picture, you won’t in a compressed screenshot.
Though your second sentence finalizes for me that I have no interest in your posts/comments, since you’re continuing to just be incredibly wierd, for literally no reason other than being upset that someone clearly knows more than you do. So… Goodbye then.

Yeah but… Who is wall mounting smaller than a 55" these days?

Yo, you honestly need a role model to teach you when to just politely shut up.
