This is the way. 3/4" ply is not going to make your TV land that much further out from the wall and will be near impossible to see behind a TV that wide. Looks like the mount spans 4 studs, I would cut a piece of ply the width of the mount and about 2x as high and screw it into multiple studs with 2½" screws. then attach the mount to the ply
