I came close to buying an extendable bracket just for this reason, but I had such a hard time getting the TV lifted up onto the flat bracket I figured out a way using two sticks and some tape to get it plugged in.
Don't tell me that you all don't have the same issue

I just google the tv model number and find an image of the inputs, then I go by feel.

Whoever comes out with the first affordable robot that can do this will make bank.

Plug in the cables before mounting the TV

Sometimes you plug a new device into the TV that you got after you mounted a TV.

New devices in this economy? Ok Mr money pants.

Use the plug that was installed before the TV was mounted.

Never tell a man to move the TV away from the wall, it doesn’t work that way.

I have an 82 inch TV that is wall mounted.
My girlfriend can’t lift one side of it so if I ever need to take it off the wall I gotta get a friend to come over to help.

Look at you with a friend, a girlfriend and a big tv.

I’ve learned that those thick black washers come in handy when you’re assembling the mount. It adds a meaningful amount of clearance when installing/hanging a TV. I’m uncertain if all mounts come with them but they should.
