Remove the screws that hold the TV to the cabinet
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws that hold the TV to the cabinet. In most cases, there will be four screws – two on each side of the TV.
Disconnect the power and HDMI cables from the TV
Once the screws have been removed, you can now disconnect the power and HDMI cables from the TV. If your TV has a speaker wire connected to it, you’ll want to disconnect that as well.

Reconnect the power and HDMI cables to the new TV

If your TV has a speaker wire connected to it, you’ll also need to route that through the cabinet and reconnect it to the new TV.
Screw in the new TV to the cabinet
Once all of the cables have been reconnected, you can proceed with screwing the new TV into place. In most cases, four screws will be sufficient – two on each side of the TV.
