I think your main worry is breaking the drywall/changing the angle, rather than the staples pulling out or shearing off.
It's not like TVs are very heavy, and the weight adds to the friction forces holding the staples in. Especially if the staple has to pull upwards to be removed, it's unlikely to be going anywhere unless the material falls out from under it
- aikinai 5y agoThey're regular, small staples not going in particularly deep, but the aggregate friction is enough to hold it very firmly. Here's a video of a guy pulling on it so hard his (admittedly thin) wall flexes[0]. I forgot if it was this video or another one; I've seen someone hanging from it to test the strength.
