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

Yeah I'm going to do some cleanup work and tinkering while the TV is down. Either way, there needs to be a solution for this. Most of us like to move things around, get new tvs, etc... and we don't want to have to bother a friend every time we need help.  

I actually ended up buying a Husky adjustable workbench from Home Depot.  It'll be here saturday.  I may try to jimmy up a jig for the tv to rest on while I grab the other side.

Trust me, I won't take too many chances with this TV. If I attempt this, I'm going to be darn confident that there won't be a blooper moment.

Geek Squad is a pretty good choice, if you only have use them once. In this case it appears that the OP is going take time when the TV is down to do some rewiring and that sounds like it will be a couple of hours. More than likely, the Squad won't wait and would have to called in again for putting the TV back up.

Geek Squad from Best Buy $199.99 They will take it down put it back up. If they break it, BB will replace it. If you  break it in the move, you will eat the cost & have to buy a new tv. Sometimes, paying a professional saves money.

OP - Is there really no one who can give you a hand for the five minutes it would take to do this? You must have a neighbor or someone who would help so that you don't risk getting seriously injured.

Hydraulic lift cart. It can also be used for unloading heavy things from a vehicle and raising heavy things onto a workbench. They are pretty darn heavy though, so only really useful if there are no steps.

Husky (Home Depot) sells a hand cranked lifting workbench that can be set up as a desk. I use the 6 foot model as a desk. If you have stairs, you’d probably need to take the top off to move it up and down.

 Unfortunately, I occasionally find myself in a similar situation. If you do have the opportunity to get help, make dam sure they don't become a liability in the process! A lot of people have no idea how work together with another person and there is no time when an accident happens. Explain the maneuver Before it is being done.
 When there is no help and no other choice, I make sure that what ever plan I have is well thought out, often taking advantage of leverage, knowing that I can move an object in steps and not all at once. Making sure that the surface(s) used to help the TV down, are stable and dependable. It is not just the weight, but the awkwardness of the item in that the dimensions, lack of good handholds and balance of the weight of the item are taken into  consideration. Yup, get ahold of the heaviest end for best control.

@fatdaddy2  There are a couple of problems with asking friends. 

1. New neighborhood in new suburb so I don't know many of my neighbors.

2. I need this done whenever I want.  I'm not sure how long it'll take me to do all I need to do behind the tv.  So it could be late night.

3. I enjoy making jigs like this and need to use my tools lest my wife continue to complain about them.

Let's see...so you'd rather spend hours putting together an apparatus for what is likely a one-time use, then figure out how to store it for the rest of your life ('cause you're a guy, and it might come in handy at some point in the future) than just ask somebody to help you?  

Get a helper. Way too much can go wrong with a jerry-rigged solution. Even the big box stores who do this for a living send two people in the truck. If there were a safe way to do it with one person and a contraption, they would definitely do this to save labor costs, even if it were a very expensive contraption.

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.

I think I got it!  I need an electric standing desk.. Most raise to 48 inches and the bottom of my tv is only 43 inches.  

I'll build a cradle out of wood and carpet it for safety.  Scoot the desk right under the tv and raise it up so the wood assembly grabs the bottom and hoists it up, then lean  it over onto a slanted wood carpeted back that I'll make..

I'm a little surprised there's not a better option.  

My second option is the Air Bag TV Drop mentioned above.  That serves this purpose and is also fun for the whole family.

If the tv flexes the screen can crack.  Don’t do it yourself.  Please Don’t ask me how I know a flatscreen can flex!  

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

There is; it’s called ’another person’.😁

Ironing board if it fits the height.

Knock down cherry picker with a sling. I use one to upright my speakers after a laydown, now.. 375lbs each.

Drywall jack, cover it with moving blankets and strap it.

6 munchkins and two ladders.

2 people to take it off.

3 to get it on, (one spotter)

One great big guy.

Air Bag TV Drop.

A kiddies swimming pool, let it belly flop in the water..

Take your roof off, a crane, a sky hook, a transformer (Bumblebee)

You don't have access to a transporter like in Star Trek do you? You could leave the roof on :-)

I'm just thinkin, puff  puff.. 

Dry wall lift?

What he said.

You might ask a friend, relative, neighbour or search Craigslist for a local handyman. Moving a 75" tv without another warm body to help is, quite frankly, a recipe for disaster.
