re: TV mounting Question

What size is the TV screen? You can probably find a mount that is wide enough if it weighs that much.
You should only need 4 screws for most average TV mounts. I think you can get by with 2 directly into a stud and 2 anchored into drywall. I would still recommend finding a TV mount that is wide enough to accommodate. It also depends on the TV mount style you're looking at. This is whatt we have for a 60" TV:
SANUS Elite - Advanced Tilt 4D TV Wall Mount for Most TVs 42"-90" up to 150lbs- Extends 6.8" for Easy Cable Access and Max Tilt - Black
It provides tilting from each angle. It's ideal for a bedroom where you're not going to need to turn the TV 45 degrees in one direction.
Your TV does not have to be mounted center with the bracket. There is a lot of room to play with for the TV to be mounted on since the TV will not have the bracket exposed if you were to mount it all the way on either side of said bracket.

is it secure enough to mount the bracket with lag screws into only one stud and then using 4 other drywall anchors

Thanks for all the responses. I have looked at longer mounts and trying to figure out a way to get it in the middle. It is just a really funky layout and closest stud is so far away from center that it doesn't give me as much play as you would think.
I'm not thrilled with using anchors instead of lag bolts but really tired of fighting this wall. The tv is 65"
