Hang / move large tv by myself? Is there a tool?

I have a 75inch Samsung Frame tv on the wall.  I need to be able to take it down.  I cannot do this alone.  However, I figured there's got to be some cool tool I can use as a "helper".  Like an adjustable saw horse to use on one side.  A mini crane.  Something to support one side while I unhook it from the wall..

I've found some interesting possibilities like: farm jacks, fastcap poles, automotive cranes (big and expensive)..

Anyway, I'm surprised there isn't a product out there directly made for something like this.

I was trying to NOT have to build something but open to all ideas.

Knock down cherry picker with a sling. I use one to upright my speakers after a laydown, now.. 375lbs each.

Drywall jack, cover it with moving blankets and strap it.

6 munchkins and two ladders.

2 people to take it off.

3 to get it on, (one spotter)

One great big guy.

Air Bag TV Drop.

A kiddies swimming pool, let it belly flop in the water..

Take your roof off, a crane, a sky hook, a transformer (Bumblebee)

You don't have access to a transporter like in Star Trek do you? You could leave the roof on :-)

I'm just thinkin, puff  puff..

There is; it’s called ’another person’.😁

If the tv flexes the screen can crack.  Don’t do it yourself.  Please Don’t ask me how I know a flatscreen can flex!

I think I got it!  I need an electric standing desk.. Most raise to 48 inches and the bottom of my tv is only 43 inches.  

I'll build a cradle out of wood and carpet it for safety.  Scoot the desk right under the tv and raise it up so the wood assembly grabs the bottom and hoists it up, then lean  it over onto a slanted wood carpeted back that I'll make..

I'm a little surprised there's not a better option.  

My second option is the Air Bag TV Drop mentioned above.  That serves this purpose and is also fun for the whole family.
