Television Installation Sydney

With this Television Installation Sydney my customer was located in St Ives, North Shore Sydney. They had a  NEC 50in plasma which was about 10 years old.   The tv had just died so they replaced it with a new 50in Sony Smart TV. The existing wall mount was not suitable for the new tv so we replaced with with a new flat wall bracket that with be suitable for all tv’s in the future.

After bolting the  wall bracket to the wall we connected the TV to the aerial to get all the free to air channels. Standard Foxtel was also connected but they many be upgraded to Foxtel IQ2 in the future to get the high definition channels. Since the Sony is a smart TV it was connected to the wifi so they could watch the catch up services and youtube.

TV installation and wall mount Newport Beach Northern Beaches Sydney

TV installation and wall mount Newport Beach Northern Beaches Sydney

This TV installation and wall mount Newport Beach Northern Beaches Sydney was a bit of a tricky installation today.   The customer purchased the house with an existing wall mount above a fireplace.   They purchased a new Sony 60 inch LCD TV to take the place of an older Toshiba 42 in LCD.

The previous Toshiba LCD TV was connected to a DVD player and PVR recorder but was only connected with analog (component) cables.   We had to remove the air vents from the fireplace to reveal and to gain access to all the cables.   We removed all the analog cables and replaced them with new HDMI cables and a new coax cable for FTA.

Once we had finished replacing all the cables we put the tv up onto the bracket with some help from a friendly neighbour.  The tv found all available free to air channels and connected to the wifi modem.

Overall it took longer than expected but it went well.

This Television Installation Elanora Heights Northern Beaches Sydney the customer had Foxtel recently installed and was not happy with having the Foxtel box placed on the chest of drawers underneath the tv and with all the cables exposed (see picture below)

We decided to purchase another wall mount, this time being a swivel mount and place the tv in the corner of the bedroom.   With the LCD TV in the corner we could hide all the power and antenna point behind the LCD TV.   We also decided to mount the Foxtel box behind the tv and out of sight.

We made up some aluminium brackets to mount and support the Foxtel box.  We used the same holes used for mounting the Toshiba television.

Overall a neater and tidier look for in the bedroom.   the foxtel box is hidden and out of the way.    The Toshiba LCD TV also has a built in DVD player.   We could still get access to the dvd on the side of the tv.

How to clean your HDTV screen

Here’s how to clean your HDTV screen.   Its not as easy as grabbing the good old windex.   Most HDTV’s have a special coating that can be ruined if cleaned with strong cleaners.

Following is some examples from the major manufactures on how to clean your new HDTV.   You may want to double check your tv’s owners manual just to be sure as it may be different from the following:

How to clean your HDTV screenPanasonic: The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. If the surface is particularly dirty, after cleaning up the dust, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted by 100 times the amount of water), and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use the cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry. Do not scratch or hit the surface of the display panel with fingernails or other chard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

How to clean your HDTV screenLG: Clean only with a dry cloth. When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not spray water or other liquids directly on the TV as electric shock may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such as alcohol, thinners, or benzine.

Samsung: The exterior and screen of the product can get scratched during cleaning. Be sure to wipe the exterior and screen carefully using the cloth provided or a soft cloth to prevent scratches. Do not spray water directly onto the product. Any liquid that goes into the product may cause a failure, fire, or electric shock. Clean the product with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of water. Do not use a flammable liquid (e.g. benzene, thinners) or a cleaning agent.

Sony: Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm water. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the package. Never spray the water or detergent directly on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts and enter the TV set, and may cause damage to the TV set.

Toshiba: Clean only with a dry cloth. Gently wipe the display panel surface (the TV screen) using a dry, soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.). A hard cloth may damage the surface of the panel. Avoid contact with alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic, or alkaline solvent cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical cloths, which may damage the surface.
