Hang / move large tv by myself? Is there a tool?


I have a 75inch Samsung Frame tv on the wall.  I need to be able to take it down.  I cannot do this alone.  However, I figured there's got to be some cool tool I can use as a "helper".  Like an adjustable saw horse to use on one side.  A mini crane.  Something to support one side while I unhook it from the wall..

I've found some interesting possibilities like: farm jacks, fastcap poles, automotive cranes (big and expensive)..

Anyway, I'm surprised there isn't a product out there directly made for something like this.

I was trying to NOT have to build something but open to all ideas.

I used my sit/stand desk to take down my super heavy Sony Kuro plasma TV and it has been my computer monitor on the sit/stand desk ever since.  I originally installed that TV myself using a pair of ropes and pulleys and 2 hooks in the ceiling.  I left the hooks in the ceiling for ages thinking I would upgrade some day and the Mrs finally got tired of looking at them and had me remove them and patch the ceiling.  I didn't want to patch the ceiling again so that is where the bright idea to use the sit/stand desk came in.  Always try to work smart and not hard, lest you pay the price when your old.
