When shopping for a new TV, the excitement of upgrading your home entertainment system can quickly be overshadowed by the daunting task of installation. Thankfully, Amazon offers a solution that takes the hassle out of the process – professional TV installation services.
Beyond its well-known offerings of Kindle e-readers, gadgets and home essentials, Amazon has expanded its product range to include larger items like 70-inch TVs and beyond. But the online retailer doesn't just deliver these big-ticket items – it also provides installation services to ensure a seamless setup.
Take the impressive Samsung S95C 65-inch TV, for example. It is a great TV for movies, sports and gaming, but it is a real undertaking to set up, requiring at least two people, whether wall-mounted or sitting on a sideboard. And it’s not just assembling and installing the TV that Amazon will take care of. The professional team sent to sort out your purchase will also take any packaging away for recycling. Handy.
Why choose Amazon's installation service when buying a new TV?
Opting for Amazon's installation service for your new TV has several advantages. First, it helps you avoid the stress and effort of setting up a large TV yourself. The process of unboxing, mounting, and connecting a TV can be daunting, especially for those who are not tech-savvy or lack DIY equipment.
The installation experts have the necessary tools and expertise to handle various TV installations, whether wall-mounting or placing the TV on a stand. This ensures your new TV is set up correctly and securely, providing you with the optimal viewing experience.
Plus, knowing your investment is in the hands of experts provides priceless peace of mind. The installers take care of the entire process, allowing you to simply sit back and enjoy your new TV as soon as the setup is complete.
How to arrange installation and setup
Amazon's service provides a complete solution when purchasing and installing large items, like TVs. As is typical of Amazon, the process is designed to be as straightforward as possible:
Step one: Browse through a vast selection of TVs and other large items.
Step two: Make your purchase and select an installation package.
Step three: Schedule a convenient time for delivery and installation.
Step four: Professionals deliver and install your TV, ensuring everything is set up perfectly.
Step five: Enjoy your new TV!
Which TVs can you have Amazon install for you?
At What’s The Best, we know about TVs – we’ve been writing about them for five years, and collectively, we have decades of experience. Though we love TVs, we don’t always love installing them – especially when they are 50-inch TVs and above – so having the option to have them set up by Amazon is very, very appealing. If you feel the same, here's our top selection of TVs that Amazon professionals can install for you.
If there’s ever a time to get someone else to fit a new TV for you, it’s with a 75-inch TV. Aside from a large screen, the Hisense 75U8 is a great TV, boasting 2.1.2 channel surround sound, 144Hz refresh rate and ULED tech for enhanced contrast.
LG is a king of OLED, putting the tech to great use in adding weight, depth and power to the on-screen image. Not to mention its clever and reliable integration of smart features and AI upscaling. A 77-inch TV is an investment for sure, so why not let the pros handle the installation?
55-inch TVs can also be a bit of a hassle to install but a joy to experience. Sony has long been an industry leader in TVs, and this BRAVIA model continues the legacy with excellent image depth and clarity. As a Sony TV, it’s also perfectly placed for gamers on the PS5.
For a big-screen experience for a budget-friendly price, the TCL offers everything you could need. This includes a bright screen with Dolby Vision adding depth, and 144Hz of refresh rate for smooth action, sports and gaming.
But if there isn’t something here that tickles your fancy, there are plenty more choices available on Amazon, which you can explore here.
