Tv removal

It appears the TV in our '13 45XT Tuscany needs replacing. It's a Sony Bravia located in the cabinetry above the fireplace. I want to upgrade my entertainment system with Starlink. And although the Sony is a smart TV...It's not smart enough. I'm told the 2013 technology is not friendly to 2023 technology. So a new TV IS Called for.
I've explored the present situation. I've manipulated all around the TVs flexible gasket...not helpful. I've removed the fireplace and examined underneath the TV. If I took a Sawzall to it I could probably get it out, however replacement would be above my pay grade. I've contacted Thor, spoke to at least 6 friends smarter than me, everyone agrees there has to be a simple way to extract it. I'm down to just muscle it and face the consequences. Help

Don't know for sure, but:

Get a flashlight and prying instrument out
Pry the bottom of the TV enough to see behind it from the bottom without breaking anything.
You should see two straps tucked up in there that can be manipulated down below the bottom of the TV.
Release the pry.
Each strap, when pulled, should release a catch that allows you to pull the bottom of the TV out.
Then you can lift it off the upper catch and hold the TV in your hands.


Similar to this but more compact:

Hey Thanks, however been there and tried that. My wife who has pretty small arms got them up and behind about six inches...nothing. in fact it seems firmly anchored on the bottom and a lot more play on the top. There is a steel bracket on top that had three screws that I removed.
I believe I'm gonna push in the top...TV bracket or TV will break .

You could also have something like this with screws that can be accessed from the side like one of My TVs. I know I will need to replace all my TVs because they are not "Smart Enough" as well. This the main TV, it will be the hardest to get out even though I have easy access to the mounting screws because there may not be enough room above the TV to lift it far enough to disengage the brackets.

My TV over the fireplace on my 2014 Tuscany 44MT has an articulated mount with the release being a bar that can be pulled from the left side of the TV.
