Living on Sydney’s Northern Beaches or North Shore comes with plenty of perks — open-plan living, floor-to-ceiling glass, and an abundance of natural coastal light. But a sun-drenched lounge room presents a real challenge when buying a new TV: glare, reflections, and a washed-out picture if you choose the wrong panel type. How OLED and […]
Northern Beaches
Walking into a big electronics showroom can genuinely throw off your sense of scale. Screens look enormous lined up under bright lights, and a size that felt “too much” in-store often ends up looking just right once it’s actually on a lounge room wall. In over 25 years installing TVs across the Northern Beaches and […]

Mounting a TV on VJ Panelling in Warriewood, Northern Beaches: Finding the Hidden Studs
I mounted a 65-inch Sony onto a VJ-panelled feature wall in a new-build Warriewood townhouse last week, and it’s a job that catches installers out if they haven’t dealt with this wall type before.

An 18-year-old 46in Sony finally got retired at a place in Terrey Hills, replaced with a new 65in LG OLED and a matching soundbar. The old TV had done well to last that long, but the cabinet underneath it told its own story: an Apple TV, a Chromecast, a set of computer speakers, plus the […]

New LG TV Install in Killarney Heights, Northern Beaches: Reusing the Original Wall Bracket
Just replaced an 8-year-old LG 65-inch with a brand new one for a customer in Killarney Heights, and it’s a good example of why a TV upgrade doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. Swapping TVs in Killarney Heights Without Re-Doing the Wall The old TV had been sitting on a flat wall bracket for […]
This one was in a townhouse in Avalon, mounting a 55-inch Samsung on a solid brick wall. Brick changes the job. Most of the walls I work on are gyprock, where running a cable through the cavity is straightforward.

Recorder Stuck on “Please Wait”? HDD Recorder Replacement in Dee Why, Northern Beaches
If your free-to-air recorder is stuck on “please wait” and won’t move past it, I can save you a call-out — that’s almost always the hard drive dying, not something you can fix by unplugging it and trying again. That’s exactly what had happened to a customer’s recorder in Dee Why. The unit had been […]
I had a great job in Dee Why last week. My customer had just moved from Fairlight and wanted her Samsung The Frame 55 inch properly set up in the new lounge room. The Frame is not like a normal smart TV to mount. The whole idea is that it looks like a piece of […]
