"Friend of mine said these fell off a truck, literally, not figuratively. So one has a spidered screen and the other has a damaged bezel, so maybe I can combine them to make a single functioning tv." -
2.
"Opened the first one and couldn't find any damage, so I'm a bit confused..." -
3.
"Second one looks fine as well, now I'm starting to freak out." -
4.
"So this is the only damage I can find, I'm going to keep this one and pack up the other because I think there has been a HUGE mistake and he's going to want the good one back." -
5.
"This is the current 65 inch setup." -
6.
"The new 75 doesn't come with a stand. You can buy it as an optional accessory online for like 250 bucks, but fuck that noise." -
7.
"I've got some spare unistrut, I'm sure I can make something for cheap." -
8.
"Went to Home Depot and picked up the necessary supplies, all I needed was some beam clamps and spray paint." -
9.
"...But I got distracted and bought this beauty for 199 on sale." -
10.
"Ohhhhhhhhh tools, I am going to organize you so hard." -
11.
"Spray painting, put some gaff tape over the holes for the vertical pieces." -
12.
"While I'm waiting between coats I wanted to swap this guy out." -
13.
"I wanted a 3 light one but they didn't sell them, so I bought two doubles and I can combine them." -
14.
"Middle piece popped out pretty easy." -
15.
"Had to drill new holes to fit it on the old mounting bracket." -
16.
"Taking off those stupid safety stickers." -
17.
"Hue bulbs work great." -
18.
"More spray paint coats and more down time. Moving the dream screen lights from the old TV to the new one." -
19.
"Super glued and taped on while I assemble the mount." -
20.
"So dusty. Using the beam clamps to put two horizontal unistruts across the back." -
21.
"Can anyone tell me what these springs do? I always cut them off so the strut nuts slide in easier." -
22.
"Measurements were barely off, had to space it out with a couple washers." -
23.
"It's not my favorite mount, but it's super thin. Forgot to mention, the reason I didn't just put it on the wall is because I live in a rental and the wife is trying to avoid unnecessary holes." -
24.
"Mounting for the display side." -
25.
Not bad. -
26.
"By the way, I reached out to my buddy who gave me the TV's to let him know that they both were working and only 1 was damaged like he said. He reassured me that there are no other jobs that contain these displays as they are over a year old now and he is selling way newer shit."
