Hi there, I need help mounting my Samsung Frame 55” (2022 model) TV on the wall in my rental apartment in South Melbourne. I already have the official Samsung Frame wall bracket ready to go.

Details: • TV: Samsung Frame 55” (2022 model) • Bracket: Official Samsung Frame wall-mount (supplied) • Location: South Melbourne apartment • Task: Mount TV securely with minimal impact on wall Requirements (non-negotiable): • Previous experience specifically mounting Samsung Frame TVs (this is essential as the mounting style is very specific) • Must bring own tools and equipment • Ability to do a careful, clean job with minimal drilling (rental property – no damage, please!) Please include details of your Samsung Frame installation experience in your offer. Thanks!

Ali is outstanding! Highly recommend. So much care shown in mounting our TV. We are in a rental and he did a fantastic job ensuring we can easily remove when we move out. Thanks so much Ali. Will use again!
