"After posting the request, Mike gave me a call shortly afterwards. We agreed on a time to do the work,same day. Mike called again, dialed into the computer, using Team viewer and did what needed to be done. Afterwards everything worked perfectly."
"The tech, Wylie, was a nice and polite young man who did a good job of installing the mount to the wall. He did not understand the Dish Network however, and had to look up the connections with the remote on Dish's online support. He also left a giant cord dangling from the tv to the wall, explaining that he did not know how to hide it in the wall and that I would need another contracter to do that work. The deal I purchased made it sound as if all that was included in the $129. Then I was double charged on my credit card and had to call Hello Tech 6 times to get it resolved. Their automatic phone system is difficult --cut me off after being on hold for 15 minutes. I finally got a very young sounding female who said she would have the accounting department contact me. They did refund the extra charge. One of our tv's then did not work at all, but my son-in-law figured it out and fixed it. I would not recommend this company."
"I had an issue with my computer where it was opening lots of pop ups, ad bars, and windows with ads for games. I had tried several different programs to try to remove it with no luck. I finally decided to call North Alabama Technical Service to see if I he could help. I was expecting to set up a time for him to look at it but he connected to my computer immediately and within an hour had it fixed and running perfect again. Great service at a great price and I didn't even have to disconnect it and carry it somewhere! Would call again if I have another issue I can't resolve myself."
"Geek Choice showed up friendly, professional, helpful. He checked for viruses, found a Trojan horse. He explained all the steps, installed some software, made recommendations. All's well, we're happy. Would hire again."
"I was very impressed with the installer who was sent. He mounted the dish without drilling through my new roof, which might have voided my roof warranty, Also, he mounted the dish in a location where it is easy for me to brush the snow off it in winter. I appreciate his knowledge and thoughtfulness. Also, they didn't charge me to re-install the dish."
"Bill did an excellent job of filling, sanding, and painting the columns, vigas, and latillas. For the wood under the portal where we wanted to maintain stain, he did a beautiful job of matching the wood and making the filled areas look natural. He also painted our ductwork and other metal components to color match the stucco, repairing the stucco in a few places along the way. Bill is extremely reliable, meticulous in his cleanup, and fairly priced. Our next door neighbors saw Bill's work and hired him for their project."
"Bob removed a ton of malware and optimized the computer remotely while I watched. Everything is working correctly again and he helped me install a much better virus protection software as well. Highly recommend him!"
"After My Computer Buddy helped me get my computer ready, he logged in and worked non stop to clear out the viruses and malware and then installed some free software to protect my system.
He did an excellent job and was very punctual and efficient. He worked over an hour and then double checked with me to make sure I was satisfied.
It’s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can’t find the studs or there simply aren’t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It’s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you’re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors.
In most cases, you should not put a TV on a fireplace mantel. The minimum width required to put a TV safely on a shelf or mantel is 10 inches, but pre-made mantels are usually too shallow, averaging at only seven inches deep. If you do choose to place a TV above a mantel, it should be mounted to the wall. However, do so cautiously as heat radiating from the fireplace could potentially cause damage to electronics.
Mounting a TV to a brick wall can be safe and secure if done correctly. However, it requires proper installation to ensure the TV is firmly attached and won't pose a risk of falling. Guarantee your television is safely secured by checking the manufacturer's weight limits of your TV mount and wall anchors. Examine the condition and quality of the brick wall to ensure it is capable of sustaining the TV.
Finding a professional to mount your television to the wall is a little challenging because no licenses exist for this type of work. You could ask friends or neighbors for recommendations. Check out online reviews, too. Typically, though, almost any local handyman can do the work. A local electronics store or the place where you bought the TV may have a recommendation for you. A local framer or drywall installer might do the work for you as well. If you need an outlet installed for the new TV, an electrician may do both items for you.
The VESA mounting standard refers to the layout of the mounting holes on the back of all televisions that follow the standard. These holes appear in the same place on all TVs of a certain size. This allows the mounting bracket and hardware manufacturers to build the brackets to fit the VESA standard. Ideally, if everyone follows the VESA standard, any brand of TV should fit any brand of mounting bracket, as long as the sizes match up correctly.
