I read on the instructions if you install this mount on dry wall it must be anchored into a wood stud. Is this really so important at all? What do they mean by drx wall? They say installing on dry wall alone will not support the weight of a flat panel screen. Any advice. Thanks

Maybe you should use Google to find out what dry wall is
Clue: It's not a wall that isn't wet

Yeah dry wall is like wood\cardboard\chipboard for lack of a better word, what those crappy american homes are made out of.
Ok so if it is a normal brick house and wall then it should be fine installing it just like that without any wood blocks then right? Also what about the loads of screws coming with it? I only gonna need a few of them? Thanks

Dude it should have some documentation but yes to the brick wall and if it is anything like mine then they add all sorts of screw sizes to fit all screens.

I suppose you must go to a hardware store and ask advice when you have the thing in that shop.
"dry wall", know on it, its sound like wood.
If I am you, after fixing bracket to the wall, test it to see if tv wont fall off [bracket coming from wall].
And dont use "no more nails."

What you mean no more nails? But what are the spacers for those black things where do you use them? Thanks

To put some space between the tv and the bracket.
