Lugged the beast up the stairs by myself into one of the end bedrooms to unpack and setup. DO NOT do as I do, this is a two person job! However…if you’ve been doing TV stuff from the sixties then you can exempt yourself – like I have.

After cutting the bands lift the whole box up leaving the TV behind in the poly base. Note that the TV is upside down! I have already removed the protective wrap/cover.

As I said the box, standing here on it’s side, simply lifts off.

We are good to screw the bracket thing to the base.

What can I say…screwing.

Normally with assistance you would lay the TV face down on a table or other raised flat surface with a blanket for protection. For me screwing the stand to the TV was a simple task.

Finally lift out of the poly, carefully rotate and put the thing down.
