Only had my wife an 9-year old son to help

Wife decided she couldn't lift her end of the TV

TV only weighs 101 lbs or so, but the gigantic size makes it awkward to lift & balance. It's 75" wide...I do not have a 75" wingspan to grasp it on each side

So I man up, grab the thing right at the bottom center, hoping it'll be somewhat balanced when I blindly lift it up, and tell my wife to just give me directions for getting to the bracket on the wall since I can't see a damn thing around the TV

Got it up there with her "guidance". But that wasn't really much fun at all.

Picture of TV next to a person, for reference:

     What in the world kind of JG math is that? - Mormad MU - 8/12 10:27:37
          The 85" is measured diagonally.(nm) - Carlos Rossi KC - 8/12 11:09:12
               This could lead to more mangled manhood - Mormad MU - 8/12 11:19:49
          My 85 inch Samsung I just bought is 75" wide and 43" - Carlos Rossi KC - 8/12 11:08:36
          85" TV is like 48" tall and 75" wide(nm) - Joeboo MU - 8/12 10:35:23
               ^^^ JG Math ^^^ (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 8/12 10:48:23
          TV size is mesured on the diagonal - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/12 10:34:49

                    Joeboo's measurements were off. - kmawv8 MU - 8/12 11:21:17
                         That'll work out mathmatically - thedad STL - 8/12 11:33:38
               There's my duh moment for the day. - Mormad MU - 8/12 10:39:04
                    you didn't solve the quiz question(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/12 10:41:09
                         40 (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 8/12 10:47:06
                              ^^^Clearly only took basic math^^^(nm) - Mormad MU - 8/12 10:48:43
                                   Also, there ain't nuthin' basic about trigonometry. (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 8/12 10:58:14
                                        On second thought, maybe just geometry (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 8/12 11:01:01
                                   10 was also an acceptable answer - kmawv8 MU - 8/12 10:52:52
                                        That was going to make for a very short screen(nm) - Mormad MU - 8/12 11:02:56
