Title: Upgrading the TV in My 2005 MB
Post by: debdog2009 on July 03, 2017, 12:01:07 pm
I'd like to upgrade the TV from the Sharp we currently have to a set preferably with a wireless card. I know TV's are much thinner so using the current bracket would be problematic. Any ideas of how to keep most of the bracket? Also, is it going to be a huge problem running the wiring for the new TV?

Thanks for any tips or tricks.

Do you mean a WiFi capable TV? If so, what service are you planning to access with the WiFi? Are you planning to use a cell-connected hotspot?

Yes, Steve. I generally use a puck for my Wi-Fi.

Not familiar with the term 'puck', but assume it is a hotspot device. Thus you would be streaming on a cell contract? I guess then you have unlimited data, but I wouldn't count on watching much before you get throttled. HD programming consumes a lot of bandwidth.

A local media player with a couple TB hard-drive for storage will allow you to bring all those big media files with, connected via HDMI. Some TV's have video-capable USB inputs, that will take the hard-drive directly.
