I’m looking to wall mount a 55” TV at home. It’s weight is specified at about 13kg. Will it be fine to only fasten it in the stud on one of the sides? Our walls are regular drywall.

monoprice.com is a good source for inexpensive high quality tv wall mount brackets. you'll also end up wanting to hide the cords in the wall soon enough.

I really love the variety of mounts they have. I'm not sure if that's the case for a 55"/13kg screen, but they have some mounts that are made to go on just one stud. That'll probably pull on the screw in a way that it'll hold a bit better!
