LG oled.
Peter K.

I contacted the flatscreen guru because I had a tough time trying to figure out tvs for my recent remodel. We had a mix of tvs that needed hanging from a frame tv an lg and oled. Additionally we had some tough issues with a shear wall and some lath and plaster. Michael was responsive, professional and just someone you want to work with. The job he did was super high quality and they all look so great!

I am SO happy with The Flatscreenguru and Michael, the owner. Like most of us would do when looking for service, I researched several companies all with great reviews but something drew me to Michael and I am SO happy about it! He was responsive, respectful and communicative - taking the time to explain in detail the service he can provide and even with great recommendations when I was uncertain about my decision but not pushy in any way. He was flexible and understanding of my limited time when scheduling (with a infant at home and unpredictable nap schedules). On the day of the job, he came prepared with everything even down to a vacuum to clean after the mess he may leave behind from drilling holes into our wall. It is obvious he is extremely knowledgeable and experienced with the work quality he provided. I will definitely be calling him again for other mounting jobs for our house.

Please do not hesitate to contact Michael and his team for any of your home theater needs. Michael guided us through TV selection and helped educate my wife and I on mounting a tv on tile above a fireplace (it's evidently very complicated and risky). He was completely transparent on what he could and could not do and did not push us to purchase anything extra from him, rather he guided us through what mount/tv to purchase. Michael (the owner) was extremely responsive and communicative even on weekends. He was incredibly professional on installation day and a pleasure to talk with during the lengthy installation (on tile). I plan to use Michael and company again for future projects. Finding good, honest businesses that value your home isn't always easy. Michael and team definitely fit that bill. Everything from purchasing a new drill bit for tile and vacuuming/cleaning up after himself is with the customer in mind.

Very happy with results! Thank you Mike for doing an incredible job installing my SMART Board 6000 Series interactive display, Sound Bar, SMART Conference room camera and mic! I had a vision and Mike knew exactly how I wanted everything layed out. All wires hidden behind wall with outlet for display. Thank you again! This install came out sick!!

Finished fireplace

Recently moved into a 1955 mid century where we wanted our tv above the old brick fireplace. We were told by many it would be a lot of work, if possible but Michael had an understanding of what we would need to mount our tv. I would recommend him. Reasons for recommending: Michael answered initial questions over the phone and by looking at pictures I sent. Good communication including options, potential hurdles, etc. Accurately explained the type of work needed to be done for older fireplace and made a long term solution (including when we upgrade to a larger tv) Asked questions to make sure things looked how I wanted. Demonstrated interest in a well done project, took care to make things look nice and polished. No wires!! Followed Covid guidelines and clean working area.

LG GX completely flush against the wall; no space at all. Beautiful.
Vivian W.

My fiancé and I had this grand idea to buy one of the latest OLED LG TVs to sit flush against the wall. We landed on the LG GX series but then realized this beast would be challenging to mount since we wanted absolutely no wires/wall covers to show outside of the wall. We realized from the website that we would need a recessed box with power and not a raceway mount to achieve our goal. The beauty of this TV is that it is set to look like a gallery art piece when mounted correctly. The problem with this is logistics-- it's super thin so can't simply drill a hole in the wall and pull cords out through (otherwise we would have simply done this ourself). We began the hunt to find an experienced flat screen TV mounter. After speaking to 2-3 other places, we discovered a variety of issues from some places not understanding the specificity of mounting this particular model and wanting to use their own hardware, to others requiring an outside electrician to set up the recessed box power, and to companies that said they would mount it but provide no further cable management. We finally found Michael through Yelp and landed on gold. Not only has he done this mount before and attended a LG instruction class to do so, but also he is a licensed electrician license himself- He's literally a 2 for 1! He also mounted our Sonos sound bar as well. We are so happy to have found someone that knows what they are doing, since we were cutting into the wall of our home. On mount day, he came masked with one other team member and observed all his Covid policies. I would highly recommend him if you want the job done right. We will definitely be going to him for any future mount needs.

Mount on Brick over Fireplace
Anand B.

Mike was great in responding to the initial query. We ended up having a complete plan over Yelp messaging where he recommended that I not use a fully articulating mount which I had bought from Costco and use a fixed mount which he can provide. I think that was a good idea as with our install that provides a lower profile and is also much more robust straining the wall a lot less. What I liked with Mike's engagement was that we did all this planning even before his visit so that there was nothing left to guess. On the day which we scheduled Mike came in on time and finished the complicated mount on brick wall efficiently and cleanly. I would definitely use him again.

Cables run through the wall to our AV cabinet. HDMI cables organized and ready for our devices.

I'm glad I checked reviews before I went with Michael and Flatscreenguru - he lived up to the 5 star rating. We had him mount a new TV above our fireplace, hide all the cables and run them through the wall to our AV cabinet. Communication was excellent and everything was completed just like he explained before hand, including a fair price for the work. Michael also advised on device and cable management to make sure everything worked together seamlessly. Highly recommended.

My partner and I just purchased a new home and have been working with several people to complete quite a few things. I'm usually the one that does all the research for businesses. I choose to do the work of reading every single review because I specifically look for experiences that may make me as a black, queer woman uncomfortable. My partner found this and I was not able to funnel through the reviews. She and Michael had a few conversations like they were old pals. Of the people she's found, he'd given us the best quote for the size of our tv. I heard him ask all the right questions. This man really knows his stuff! He was quick and super efficient. He came prepared with all tools and materials and insisted on wearing gloves and mask during this trying time in our country to keep himself and us protected. I am so pleased with his work here today. Did I mention that he also drove over an hour to do the work? 10/10 recommend. As a bonus, he carried in my Amazon package. I didn't even ask. Just an all around great guy and professional.

After install
Kenneth L.

Michael was really enjoyable to work with. He came and helped me install a 65" Samsung QLED on my stone veneer fireplace--I had been holding off on installing it myself due to the difficulty in having to install on an uneven surface. Michael brought out all the right parts (tilting tv wall mount, replacement HDMI and power outlet covers, cords, etc.) to make sure things were easy to use after the install. He is also super knowledgeable about entertainment centers and media technologies. I highly recommend Michael for his services.

A few other companies sent out employees to run estimates, but Mulitmedia Circuit and Systems responded very quickly and said they could confidently do the installation on the same visit. He came out as promised and very quickly finished the work. Kirill even offered to help with a few aesthetic issues he had noticed during the installation, such as removing an exterior, unused coax cable and also filling a hole in the siding that he had noticed. Multimedia Circuit and Systems was incredibly fast in both their response and the installation, and I plan to reach out again for help with some PoE camera installations. I would highly recommend their help for network installation work!

In addition to advising on the network, he also helped future-proof it a bit by running a few extra cables and he even setup a line to pull an additional cable through a particularly difficult section of the house should we need it in the future. He setup the cable terminations with the flexibility I needed as the physical location of our switch is still a little in flux. Overall, he was great to work with and did high quality work, consistently going above and beyond my expectations.

I contacted Alee with HiTek Telecom to get a quote on a complete network job for my home. Not only do my spouse that I work from home, but I also do a lot of photography and video that I transfer back-and-forth on my network and into the cloud. I was tired of poor and drop connections with my consumer level Wi-Fi system. In addition, I wanted a local security camera system that I can control without relying on a cloud service. After receiving a quote and agreeing on the scope of work, I scheduled the installation. Alee came out on time on the date scheduled and we walked through the plan of installation and confirmed what all my needs were. Alee and his team worked through the day and completed the install job in an incredibly professional manner. The installation and the cable runs, and all of the final product was exactly as described. After the install, Alee walked me through downloading all of the software that I needed, how to access and navigate the system, how to navigate and operate the security cameras, and ensure that everything was working properly. To be sure, this was a relatively large install for a residential application. I wanted ethernet drops in every room of my house, a new professional grade network cabinet, in-ceiling WIFi network, and a new suite of security cameras. I couldn't have asked for a better end product. I am quite pleased with the attention to detail of the install and making sure everything was perfect, workmanlike, and care was taken in my home. Alee came back out to adjust a couple of things for me after the fact and install an additional camera. Again, he was on time on the scheduled day. The workmanship was just as good and the communication has been stellar throughout. I truly can't recommend HiTek and Alee enough. Top-notch product and top-notch service.

Costs: If you are upgrading your home network or other capability, and need to buy new/more gear, Shawn doesn't charge a markup on the equipment. In fact, once he's designed your solution he will provide you with links to the exact products required and let you buy them directly from the vendors if desired. Or he'll buy them himself and present you with the receipts. Hourly rate: With the skills Shawn possesses, his hourly rate is substantial. And it should be. However, you can still bring your project in at a very reasonable cost PROVIDED you can be a smart customer. By this I mean you must be clear on the capabilities you want to achieve--or at least be able to listen to Shawn describe what's possible and then make rapid decisions. If instead you want a lot of customer education, Shawn can do that too because he knows an immense amount about IT and can communicate effectively. However, it's a bit like paying for a neurosurgeon to teach you about the types of aspirin available to treat a headache. That doesn't make sense; get a nurse instead! In my case, my wife and I work from the house. My goals were to increase the reliability of our home network. We wanted better maintainability (so when the internet goes down I can rapidly identify the problem and fix it). We wanted better network security. I wanted to add a home security camera because of problems with car prowls, etc. And finally, I wanted to move our networking gear out of our super-hot furnace room to a cooler and cleaner location. This was a lot. Other vendors had previously failed to come up with an affordable solution--or any solution at all. Shawn showed us how to do it for a very reasonable sum. Once we had a plan, I was able to control costs by getting a carpenter friend to open up the wall and pull wires through to the new location for the gear. Shawn also kept costs down by allowing me to provide extra hands as he mounted gear on the wall, connected all of our wireless access points to the new console, etc. These steps all require two people. Shawn was willing to let me help and he even maintained a high level of wit and good-natured ribbing throoughout the long day of work. In sum: great outcome, great satisfaction, great price.
