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..yes

 

When I had my 75" delivered and wall hung (I installed the wall mount before they arrived) I installed an additional HDMI cable that isn't hooked up to any equipment. I assumed that I may need to add some new source down the road.

@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.....

 

One thing - before it is put up run a heavy duty string through the cable holes in the wall - and leave it there for future use. This way I was able to easily add a cable later without taking the 82" off the wall.
