I just bought an Elite 84" dropdown (m84uwh) screen and need to mount it to the wall.
The instructions are a joke, it literally tells me nothing.
Here are the entire contents of the instructions for wall mounting:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark the area from the screen mount end cap hole to the wall. Then mount the screen onto the wall (Fig 1).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only other instructions are for ceiling mounting. When I read this, I almost laughed.
Anyhow, it has some bigger bolt like screws which I obviously cannot use, but it also has 2 smaller screws with sheetrock anchors.
The screen weighs about 30 pounds. Do you think it is safe to use the sheetrock anchors without drilling into a stud? My only other option I can think of is to get a 2x4 and drill that in the studs and mount it to that. I live in an apartment, so I don't want to overdo it. I am not sure how much weight those sheetrock anchors can take, but 30 pounds sounds borderline. 10-15 pounds no problem.
Any advice?
