Welcome to the forum !
First, note that I do not advise 'sure you can' or 'no you can not' (some times
if it seems really over board) but provide the metrics HOW2 figure it out yourself
Second, decide if you believe in the ratings system or not
If not, then do whatever knowing that any warranty claim and over loaded, that
you will have to either lie or hope they don't find out to deny warranty ***AND***
that the OEM is off the liability hook no matter within or out of warranty period
If yes, then read up and ask questions.
Finally, go out and actually weigh your TV axle by axle, both empty and fully loaded
That is the only way to know where you are in reference to it's ratings
Here is a diagram showing the whole system and yes, ratings is a system and any
one link in this food chain can become the weak link
If just looking for confirmation of what you want to hear...you will get tons
of them...aka 'sure you can'....'been over loaded for decades with no problems'...etc
