Instant classic, Youthman. A 12 minute video that shows CLEARLY how to install a wall mount, run wires inside a wall and how to hang a large TV. A lot of people will be searching for this exact video for years to come.

[@Youthman]

Thank you, kindly. Hopefully others will find it helpful.

[@danemoreno88]

The handles on the back is everything that’s so awesome

[@Youthman]

Definitely should be standard on all large TV’s

[@RockSpector]

I have done exactly this numerous times. Same power kit along with a few others almost all done solo with exception of tvs this size. Perhaps I should've filmed and uploaded. Decent video and approved by an installer who does this work.

[@Youthman]

I absolutely would encourage you to make some videos showing others how to do this. It’s quite rewarding helping others learn how to do something they don’t know how to do, or didn’t think they were capable of doing themselves

[@RockSpector]

@@Youthman I was just down by you in September visiting family. If I had time, I would've reached out to you to meet up, but I knew our schedule was going to be hectic. We left the morning of Hurricane Ian.

[@Lowkey_nxthxn]

That's really awesome that you're going to turn your living room space into a home theatre so everyone else in the family can enjoy. What a great idea to use that space

[@Youthman]

Thanks

[@dcmsuccess]

Congratulations on 100K! I just saw the comment you put up on Nick Nimmin's "How to get noticed" video. It's so amazing to see that just 6 months ago you were talking about reaching that milestone. Congrats again 😊

[@Youthman]

Thank you kindly! It’s been an incredible journey over the past four years but it has been worth the effort.

[@tfk40]

Great video! This is the kind of content I really enjoy. It's nice to see the elite high end stuff, but sometimes it's also nice to watch videos about products and rooms that are like mine.

[@Youthman]

Thanks. I have many home theater tours that are budget friendly and DIY

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Hey Mike that's one Big A freaking TV bro. I hope you enjoy every inch of that monster ha ha ha lol. From what I've heard about this particular Hisense U7H you should love this TV. Great video by the way too.

[@christophhugli5760]

Looking forward to your review about the settings and how it integrates into your daily life. When we sold our house in Switzerland, I had to say Good Bye to my dedicated home cinema. Now I have to start from scratch with a small tv 😪

That's a pretty sweet mount and wall plates. Clean install man! Your next venture... Youthman Custom Installs!!

Haha not sure I’m ready to take it prime time.

[@ryanhuerta1024]

Hi, how close is the 85 inch TV in picture quality vs the smaller sizes? I sit about 11 feet back and am curious. Thanks

[@Youthman]

I’m not sure how the 85” compares to smaller sizes

[@ryanhuerta1024]

@@Youthman thanks for the quick response. How do you like it?

[@Youthman]

I’m very pleased with it. We haven’t had a TV in 15 years and I’m not a videophile. But colors are vibrant, it’s bright and blacks are quite nice (although definitely not OLED black). UI is easy and I really like the voice control.

[@thatstreamingfella7298]

Really enjoyed the video guys. Looking forward to viewing other videos in your collection

[@Youthman]

Thank you kindly

[@mephInc]

The most terrifying part of hanging my 85" was letting go and trusting the wall mount. Edit: LOVE the Echogear stuff. I used their cable management and tv mount. Their directions are simple, plain English.

[@Youthman]

I didn’t have any anxiety. I knew that mount wasn’t going anywhere as well built as it is.

[@mephInc]

@@Youthman I was more worried about human error lol

[@Youthman]

Haha that’s why I asked Derek to give me a hand lol

[@trentonlathrop5959]

Can u please do a review on this tv, now that u have the set up, thanks

[@Youthman]

Yes that’s the plan

[@legoguyver7459]

Does 85" U7H come with back lit remote?

[@esjovold6572]

How’s the TV working out. Considering one for my dedicated theatre, do you think it would work ok? A projector would be nice, but my room isn’t that big and a TV would cost a fair bit less than a projector and screen.

[@Youthman]

I’m really enjoying it and I haven’t even tried to calibrate it yet. Black levels are much darker than I thought a non-OLED would have color saturation is vibrant and the 85 inch fits really nice on our 25’ wall. We’ve been watching survivor as a family almost every night for a few hours. I’ll share full review a bit later.

[@batcavetheater07]

Was curious when the rest of this series is coming out? I keep hoping to see one as I am surely interested. Thanks

[@jose7740]

When you mount the wall bracket, the template has a catch to collect the debris and it is nice but when you drill the holes for the cable management, all of the debris falls to the floor anyway 😊

[@Youthman]

Yes it’s a nice thought and it does catch some debris but you will still need to clean up afterwards.

[@Riv359]

Installer in disguise, great job!👍👍

[@Youthman]

Haha FAR from it. Derek is much more handy than I am though. He actually does wood working.

Floor to the bottom of the TV is 43 1/4”. You will need to figure out how many inches you want your TV above your cabinet. My cabinet is likely taller than yours so do not go by my measurements.

Harbor freight has a very similar tv mount. I bought one a few weeks ago for my shop tv and it’s super solid. I just bought another one for our gym that I’m currently building. Good for up to 100” tv and I got it on sale for $38.

[@NickDarnelldaftnick]

The Hisense U7H is the one of the very best televisions you can get for your dollar no matter the size. I work in retail and sell these like hot cakes. They have : -1000+ nits of peak brightness - HDMI 2.1/ 120Hz refresh rate and low input lag - 160+ local dimming zones for precise back light control and impressively deep black levels - Quantum Dot pixels for a similar QLED experience to Samsung (comparable to Q80b and QN85b even to be more precise) The TV also runs lower on price than the competition as we sell: 55U7H for $499 65U7H for $699 75U7H for $950 85U7H for $1199 Crazy value television just might wanna grab a warranty lol

Don't think that's Mini-LED? Good TV, I have a similar one, but if i was going big I guess I would try to wait for a MiniLed or an OLED..... Ok didn't realize it for YT himself, guess the TV isn't that important with a dedicated theater in the other room.

[@Youthman]

When I reached out to Kanto, I told them I wanted a versatile mount that could handle almost any TV so they sent me their most robust and versatile one which is also the most expensive. They sell much less expensive mounts, you just need to figure out what features you need.
