Can I safely remount a tv wall mount? (lemmy.world)

Got a new tv that works with my existing mount but it’s just not working like we need for this bigger tv. Could I put a new mount using the same holes. My concern is the bolts won’t have the same resistance to being pulled out. Google foo was no help on this and the Reddit link of course has been deleted. Thanks in advance!

They're than Googling "foo," you should try a more relevant search term like "reuse TV wall mount holes." The first result from that is: https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/15303/is-it-safe-to-re-use-drill-holes-in-a-wall#:~:text=If%20the%20screws%20go%20back,away%20from%20the%20existing%20holes.

Hopefully this improves your Google-fu.

I would give the same advice.
