Never tell a man to move the TV away from the wall, it doesn’t work that way.

I have an 82 inch TV that is wall mounted.

My girlfriend can't lift one side of it so if I ever need to take it off the wall I gotta get a friend to come over to help.

Look at you with a friend, a girlfriend and a big tv.

It's a hard life but I'm working through it with my therapist.

I've learned that those thick black washers come in handy when you're assembling the mount. It adds a meaningful amount of clearance when installing/hanging a TV. I'm uncertain if all mounts come with them but they should.

Mine only came with thin white washers: what do I do?

I don't know if the plastic in the white washers are the same as the black ones so it might not provide the same sheer rating.

I would hate for the TV to buckle or compromise the wall.

Assuming it's made of the same materials it's gonna take a couple thin whites to stack up to a thick black. namean?

I came close to buying an extendable bracket just for this reason, but I had such a hard time getting the TV lifted up onto the flat bracket I figured out a way using two sticks and some tape to get it plugged in.

This is why everything goes into the receiver and only one cable goes to the tv

This is why I'm glad my TV has some inputs on the side. When wall mounting it, I ran HDMI cables for all the inputs on the back, to avoid having to go back there again.

I just google the tv model number and find an image of the inputs, then I go by feel.

And here is a win for the plebs who decide not to wall mount a TV.

I made up a menu for my job and its loaded onto the TV behind the counter with a USB. The only way to reach the USB slot was to tape the USB to a pencil. The pencil is integral to the operation of that menu. Its even in the SOP now to make sure not to remove the pencil.

That doesn't help getting your hands to where the hdmi port is.

Sam_Bass 1 point 7 months ago

I know. But it does prevent over bending of the cable . i had the same problem a couple years ago and dismounted the monitor installed the adapter and cable then remounted the monitor. Failing all that you could swap out a standard vesa mount for an articulated one that allows swinging the monitor away from the wall enough

Build your mount to move away from the wall.

Ok, now the cable has to go between the tv and the mount.

I got a low TV shelf with wheels last year which has been amazing for rolling the TV wherever I need it. Absolute game changer since you can sit wherever you want and always get a good viewing angle, and all the HDMI ports and such are easily accessible.

Minimalistic ones made of steel can look pretty sleek too.

I really only ever had this problem when TVs were gihugen CRTs and it was hard to move them. My flat screen weighs practically nothing; I can move it away from the wall to get behind to the plugs quite easily now.

Sometimes you plug a new device into the TV that you got after you mounted a TV.

Use the cable that was installed before the TV was mounted.
