Amazing setup.. love those wires behind the TV.

The 98 inch was probably the better choice from the get go, but probably next year there will be more compelling models in that size.

Really want this tv. This video pops up. Must be a sign

Nice review keep up the good work B the Installer

I have this 85” tv. It’s quite nice. I’m happy with my decision for this tv.

The back of the 85 inch version looks significantly different than the 65 inch that I have. Really enjoying this tv.

Geek Squad HT installer here! Great vid :) 1. You can access the lower threads, you just need to unbox it a little more 2. That 4D mount is the best mount, hands down (tip: when tightening the arms on the back of the TV try to lift a little as to prevent sagging over time) 3. Those "annoying" plastic pieces on the mount are removable, also you didn't really need the toggles (you got 2 studs with 4 pretty long lags), that plate is made to have it offset, those rails allow you to slide the tv left and right a few inches but Sony does have the heaviest TVs on the market lol 4. If you use the plastic bags that come with the wall mount you can cut them to make small baggies to catch the dust coming from the wall when you drill 5. When putting the TV onto the wall, it helps if you extend the arms on the TV so you can see where you are hanging it, they come out 6-8inches

I appreciate the watch. I've been installing tvs for 20 years my guy. I wasn't really looking for alternative ways to install a tv. It was unboxed. That mount is not my favorite and expensive. The plastic pieces are unnecessary whether they come off or not. Toggle bolts are good added support and the arms don't stay extended when you put the tv on. Typically one or both push back and makes it more awkward. Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@BTheInstaller Was just making it a point that you *could* access those 4 screw holes that you put the silver adapter into, it's just above the styro. Also, that mount is not crap lol it's probably one of the best built mounts you can get. I sure hope spending $120 is justified for a $2k TV, not sure why you would trust a $30 mount for the job. The mount sits flush enough for most cases, comes out a few inches, has play left and right for centering as your own client said move it and you moved an 85in with two hands with minimal force, it's a great mount.

​@stevelui278 I purchased a cheaper, 1/4 price Mounting Dream low profile mount, and already had to take the TV down twice to access the back. My next installation will be the same mount you have. About the soundboard being on the top of the stand, the top reflects the sound and messes up direct, reflected and the boundry (sound dispersion coming from the edge of the top). Amazon have really cheap soundbar brackets to attach it under the TV; you don't even need to take the TV down, just undo the button 2 screws ans slide the bar brackets under/over TV mount. It would make huge difference.

Nice TV set up. It's good to see that you didn't install it too high on the wall like some people do. I don't get why people think that installing TV's up to the ceiling is a great idea. I'm hoping to get a 65" X90L to replace my Samsung NU7100 I've had for about 5 years. It would be a huge upgrade for me. I purchased a 50" X85K for my bedroom during black Friday and it blows away the Samsung PQ.

Thanks B, nice vid and great TV. It would have been nice for you to have replace the string fro future, in case he needs to add/DIY a source or a sound system.

I have the save TV but the 75". Got it during Black Friday for $1500. Absolutely love it. I think that the height he has his on the wall is perfect,even though it doesn't like up with the windows.

Boy B you make it look so easy, but it kinda looks really complicated installing that wall mount someday. Hopefully you come up to Santa Barbara and do mine.

For the cost of Sanus mounts, they should have a built in level.

My 55" Q60T QLED I got for black friday from micro center in 2020 bit the dust right outside of the warranty and my dad bought one to replace his old one that did the same, guess im out 450 + 50 repair. Endless power loop due to faulty supply, couldnt replace shorted chip because it was tac soldered to the panel with ribbons 40 times and you would destroy the panel fixing it. The repair guy told me that he almost exclusively deals with samsungs and theyre always breaking down outside of warranty so he recommended a Sony as they're easy to repair and known to last. While the samsung was a big purchase I jumped up to a Sony X90l 64" 4k 120hz from Costco for 1200 and got my mom a 400 dollar LG UR8000 64 inch UHD For 200 off with costco direct, and a 63 dollar rebate, AND a 5 year warranty + free shipping. Asked samsung for a discount on a new one and they told me no, screw samsung.

Nice Sony TV and good choice also. Just one thing is driving in those bolts in you know that it's easier to use a impact driver or impact wrench instead of the drill trust me makes installs way easier and better. I also notice that you try to make all installs so hard when TVs are not hard to mount on a drywall wall. Other than that keep installing buddy!!
