    You can probably fix to this wall using Corefix fixings - they are like a massive Rawlplug, you drill a 10mm hole into the wall through the plasterboard and into the blocks behind, insert the plug then insert the metal sleeve that comes with it and then the big screw - which is what attaches your item.

    The metal sleeve means that when you tighten the screw fully in to hold the bracket, it doesn't cause the plasterboard to be cracked or sink in - the metal sleeve bridges the gap behind the plasterboard.

      I am wondering,  if  I can hang my 55" curved tv on the wall as well.   I have a swivel bracket that I used in my previous home but the electrician is not confident of using this as its a cavity wall in my new home. He worries that it may not be able to hold the tv on the wall.  He advised a fixed bracket instead. . I am though not sure if that goes well with a curve tv.
    Swivel bracket are normally used where the tv needs to be fitted at an angle to the wall. If the tv is going to be flat against the wall its pointless using one. The curve on a curved tv is slight so a flat bracket would be fine. Presumably there's a flat area on the back with vesa fittings. Flat brackets also often cover a larger area of wall so should spread the weight over a larger area.
