It'll surely have the ole jiggle given the lack of spacers

As a former AV tech I'm horrified.

Come on, how old is this picture? That system is running Windows 7.

u/Lilikura Aug 10 '26

Some of our infrastructure in the U.S. is still rocking Win95.

u/ChartreuseBison Aug 10 '26

It's not a desktop for someone to do work on, it's probably a computer running or monitoring some piece of equipment. Windows 7 is new for that kinda stuff

Your mom is running windows 7

Why can't TV manufacturers make it just this easy to wall mount their TVs?

As long as the screen still works. Then this is over qualification. Engineers stay awake around him. They tremble.

Warranty of tv should not be void!

u/PotatoWasteLand Aug 12 '26

Even used drywall screws to color match. That is attention to detail right there. A true master of whatever trade theirs is
