The last tv I hung (with my very strong son-in-law) was a 65-inch Panasonic plasma 10 years ago.Thank goodness it still works perfectly and looks great because I am not sure my 10-year older self could lift it again. Listen to @dekay and the rest, save yourself from yourself, and just hire it done.
Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ?
As TV’s have become insanely large and heavy, it’s getting harder and harder to find a friend to come help.. I’ve exhausted all my helpers and need a tool move my 85 in Sony (110lbs) by myself. All I need to do is add an Apple TV. Quick and simple and not worth calling a friend again.
Surely someone has a tool, jack, or lift for quickly lifting a TV on the wall. I was told a Drywall Lift may be what I’m looking for but those sure are big.
Anyone else had any luck with something like this?

Years ago when i purchased my firsy 65:" Sony Aquos from Best buy I brought the stand home , had them deliver it and paid them Aprox $60.00 to assemble the feet put it on the stand and calibrate it. Safest thing I did. Now i have 2 guys that l come out for $60.00 and the put my new 100" on up for me also I used them to move heavy old furniture when needed. as I am not as young as i used to be I woulodn't think of doing it with a friend as i would not want to get them or myself hurt or flex the screen on a big TV as mitch2 said Listen to @dekay and the rest, save yourself from yourself, and just hire it done..

@dtximages I ordered a 100": from a big box brick and mortar. We scheduled two weeks out for delivery and installation in my new room. We reschedule 3 times. They claimed the delivery delay was dues to a resource issue. You see, they claimed they needed four people to move, lift and install the 200 lb beast. I thought that was not unreasonable. After multiple reschedules, including an attempt to " drop it off in my garage and have the installers carry it down stairs I cancelled. I now have a 30lb projector and a 100" screen that I love. To all of you haters out there, for live events and that true cinema experience, nothing better!! (for me)_ Happy mounting.....
