With how big and cheap they are and a lot more mounted to the wall I'd be curious how many tvs get left because it's easy to just grab laptops, game systems, etc. It still takes two people to carry those huge thin TVs and they don't really fit in a backpack.
Idk about that, I can reasonably carry up to a 65 inch by myself and I'm not particularly tall (not even 6 ft) so someone taller than me probably could conceivably carry a 75+ tv
Yeah but then you get into having to worry about how thin they are. Try wall mounting a 65 inch LG OLED by yourself. It’s practically impossible without cracking the screen.
you must be using the wrong brackets. try monoprice
I have, that's how I know lmao, no screen crack btw lol
My 77” OLED also comes with a special wall mount, no stand. No way to put the TV down without the box. You then need to get the wall mount off the wall and take that too or you won’t have a way to put it anywhere.
I don't think I'd try to carry my 55" OLED by myself. I recall it being particularly unwieldy when we were installing it.
I once saw 2 blokes getting on the tram with half a tv. It was a 50" or so tv with the back plastic thing missing. They were both shirtless and both seemed to be completely out of it on something. I sort of concluded they ripped a tv off the wall but didn't have a way to get it home, or to a pawn shop or wherever they were planning on taking it
