depends on what type of walls you have, some people have sheetrock, others have thin (1/8 in) paneling. some have actual board slats. If you have board slats (that are like atleast 1/4-1/2 in) i say it would probly be ok. HOWEVER, i assume no liability if you use it and it falls. if you have sheet rock or even then paneling i wouldn't do it without a toggle bolt (aka: butterfly bolt), or hollow wall anchor... Don't use the kind that are plastic and wing out though. i never have good luck with those.
Well, the same type of walls are all around the house, and we have 15" photo frames (not lcd, old style) in the bathroom.
It's a large laundry room/bathroom. Most areas of the house have studs, I dunno if the bathroom does.
Most areas in the house are made of very thick wall paneling, although I notice the basement is horribly thin.

don't tell me you're going to play tf2 while you're in there...
but yes you will need to find a stud in the wall if you want it to be stable. 15" flatpanel monitors are not as light as you might think.
