I have a Cantilever TV wall bracket (weighs around 10kg) that will be extended out from the wall 25 inches in order to hold a 55" TV weighing 23kg. The wall is solid brick with a sheet of 0.8-inch-thick plasterboard on top. Not sure what to use to mount the bracket to the wall, I have heard all of the below are ok. Would greatly appreciate some advice.

1. Ramplug (Large Grey) and galvanized coach screw
2. Ankascrews
3. Expanding/anchor bolts
4. Shield anchor

My main concern is the added weight on the bracket due to it being fully extended outwards.

Can you explain that again like i'm a five year old? :)

The forces on the wall connections due to extending the TV out that far are incredible (in comparison to the TV at the wall).  Hold a gallon of milk at your chest then at arms length, hold it for a while.

 

That mount needs to be attached to the brick wall with cement screws.

So any of the below will suffice then:

 

Ankascrews
Expanding/anchor bolts
Shield anchor

 

The mount did come with 4x 80mm Coach Bolts and thick grey plastic raw plugs. However, i would rather use something more sturdy. Obviously Vogel must believe the equipment they provided with the bracket must be efficient enough for the job, as the mount is rated to hold 25 kg and be able to tilt and swivel with a panel up-to 65".
