What would be a good stud layout if I want to hang multiple TVs, and what would be alternative ways to secure the studs?

I'm closing this hole in the wall that looks into an adjacent room. I will be hanging one tv just below the opening (there is a horizontal stud there where I can bolt the mount), and would maybe mount one or two smaller screens above it in the future so I want to have solid framing in the opening. I think the easiest would just be two 2x4s, 16" apart but I feel like that wouldnt be as strong or easy to mount. Could I do some combination of horizontal supports, 2x4 or 2x6 and some vertical studs? In addition could I secure the studs with corner brackets at the top and bottom rather than nails? I dont have a nail gun. Any input would be greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/No-Art-7554 [link] [comments]
