Never tell a man to move the TV away from the wall, it doesn’t work that way.
Don't tell me that you all don't have the same issue

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.

I’ll come help. You lift and I’ll tickle you

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

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?

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

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 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.

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.

I got a new desk and have painstakingly done this only to realize the cable just isnt long enough…

Buy an aliexpress endoscope camera.

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

Whoever comes out with the first affordable robot that can do this will make bank.

I got a 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.

Build your mount to move away from the wall.

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

Plug in the cables before mounting the TV

Sometimes you plug a new device into the TV that you got after you mounted a TV.
mundane@piefed.world 1 day ago
New devices in this economy? Ok Mr money pants.
Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Use the plug that was installed before the TV was mounted.

Wait… You don’t need to buy a new TV if you get a new device as well?
