An 83-Inch LG, Two Recessed Outlets and a Full Sonos System

The client had just moved into a new Manhattan apartment and wanted it to feel finished: a big TV on the living room wall with no cables showing, a few art pieces hung, and his Sonos system — a Beam soundbar, a subwoofer and five or six speakers — working together. The plan grew into two new LG TVs, a large one for the living room and a 65-inch for the bedroom, set up over two visits: the bedroom and the art first, then the living room and the full Sonos system.

• •The client asked if NYC TV Guy could also set up his Sonos sound system.
• •He explained he had just moved in and wanted a big TV wall-mounted with the cables hidden, some art pieces hung, and his large Sonos system — a subwoofer plus five or six smaller speakers — connected.
• •He confirmed he already owned a Sonos Beam soundbar, and that there was a power outlet behind where the TV would go.
• •He sent a photo of the TV wall mount he already owned, which NYC TV Guy confirmed as usable.
• •He said he wanted a new, larger LG smart TV for the living room, plus a second, smaller LG of the same brand for the bedroom.
• •Because the new living room TV would not arrive until later in the week, the work was split across two visits: the bedroom items on one day, the living room TV and sound system on another.

Cutting in a recessed outlet behind the bedroom TV, the crew found the wall cavity too shallow in one spot and routed the cable another way. That morning the store would not release the client's new TV to his delivery person, so NYC TV Guy sent its own technician, Giovanni, to collect it. He arrived with the TV in the early afternoon. The crew hung a framed piece of art by the window, then leveled and mounted the bedroom TV on the flat wall mount the client chose. That evening the client said the crew did a good job.

• •The client sent a photo of the bedroom wall where the TV was going, and a photo of the TV itself, confirming he needed the wall mount for it.
• •He chose a flat wall mount instead of a swivel one, and picked a white Sonos Beam soundbar for the bedroom.
• •Cutting in the recessed outlet, the crew found the wall cavity too shallow in one spot and had to route the armored cable a different way.
• •That morning, the client's new TV got held up at the store — Best Buy would not release it to the delivery person he had arranged.
• •NYC TV Guy offered to send its own technician to collect the TV by rideshare instead.
• •Technician Giovanni was added at the store as the authorized pickup person.
• •Giovanni picked up the TV and arrived at the apartment with it in the early afternoon.
• •A framed piece of art was hung and checked level near a window with a city skyline view.
• •The bedroom TV mount was leveled and the TV powered on to its welcome screen.
• •That evening, the client said the crew did a good job.

The living room TV needed to be picked up from a store across the river in New Jersey, which the crew could not easily reach, so the client asked NYC TV Guy to supply the TV directly. It arrived the next morning with its own slim wall mount already included. The crew unboxed and set up the Sonos speakers and subwoofer for the living room system, leveled the new TV, and tested the picture and sound. The finished living room TV and soundbar now work together, with the sound routed through the soundbar.
