What is the standard spacing of a stud wall?
Typically 16". You'll notice on a tape measure that 16" is highlighted. This is the distance from the side of one stud to the same side of the next stud (e.g. from the left side across the existing stud to the placement of the next one.) The actual void between studs is a little less (14 1/2). This is so sheetrock/plywood falls evenly on the wall.

How do you intall a TV mount?
To install a wall mount, you need to first find out what hole pattern your TV has, then purchase the correct wall mount for that pattern. Most major brands of TVs utilize the VESA pattern. Then you need to figure out if you're going to run the wires behind the wall or in front of the wall. For our purposes we'll say you decided to run the wires in front of the wall. Most mounts can be separated into two pieces, the piece that connects to the TV and the one that connects to the wall; separate your mount. You will then install the mount on the back of your TV. Locate a stud using several studs on your wall using a stud finder, then measure your TV and find the best stud to use so that the TV will be centered on the wall (or as close to centered as you can get). Drill the holes and attach the mount to the wall. Hook up the cables and attach the other portion of the mount that is attached to the TV to the mount on the wall. Be sure your TV is level and then tighten the screws completely.

How can you find the wall stud without a stud finder?
Answer By putting your ear to the wall : A wall is a collection of studs (usually sized 2x4 or 2x6) equally spaced (usually 16 in. or 24 in. on center) and sandwiched between top and bottom plates. : If you start from the corner, you can measure 16" or 24" and hope that you find a stud. You can hit the wall, and where it sounds more hallow, no stud exists where the sound is higher, there is a stud. But if you can't tell a difference, then measuring could be your only bet.
