I was curious so I did a quick check.
I can buy a flat screen TV from Walmart for $74. A handyman to come to my house is a minimum of $150.
So the parent comment is true, buying a TV is cheaper than hiring a handyman to fix the drywall.
- pas 11mo agobut you need to put the TV on the wall VESA mounts and installation are not cheap it's really an apples and or ciders comparison that said, now I realized I have a door with two pictures screwed to it, because we punched a hole through it more than a decade ago during a house party, and that specific door is out of production, and it's the door to the storage room so it was (and still is) the perfect solution :)
- vel0city 11mo agoA TV wall mount can be had for $30, or even little less. They're extremely simple to install. All you need is a basic drill and 20 minutes.
- metadope 11mo agoAlso, the hole in the wall will make it easier to locate the studs onto which you mount.

- tzs 11mo agoWalmart has $22 mounts that will work for that $74 TV, and Walmart has TV installation service for $79 (basic mounting of a customer supplied TV with a customer supplied mount).
