You buy the gear.
We set it up right.
AV integrators make their money marking up TVs and locking you into signage contracts. We do it differently: we check the gear you pick, you buy it wherever it’s cheapest, and we mount, wire and configure it for a flat rate.
- Insured, background-checked techs
- Zero equipment markup
- After-hours installs
Why do menu boards and TV walls cost so much?
Because most of what you’re paying for isn’t the TV. It’s the markup and the monthly contract.
A 65″ commercial-looking TV you can buy for a few hundred dollars often shows up on an AV quote at two or three times that. Add proprietary media players, “content management” subscriptions per screen, and labor on top, and a simple menu board turns into a five-figure project.
- TVs and mounts marked up 30–60% or more
- Per-screen signage subscriptions you can’t cancel
- “We only install equipment we supply”
My IT Dude was built to fix that. We earn our money on clean, professional installation, so we’re happy to install the gear you buy.

Not sure where to buy your TVs and gear?
We keep a short list of stores that reliably have the best prices on TVs, mounts, media players and networking gear, including what to look for on commercial vs. consumer TVs.
- Big-box, warehouse club and online retailers we trust
- Which TVs hold up to 12+ hours a day in a bar
- A checklist of what to order (and what we bring)
Frequently asked questions
Will you really install TVs and equipment I bought myself?
Yes, that’s exactly what we do. As long as the gear is new (or in good working order) and suitable for your space, we’ll install it. We just ask that you send it to us for a free gear check before you buy, so we can catch problems like the wrong mount or a TV that won’t fit the wall.
Can you install after hours so we don’t have to close?
Yes. Most of our restaurant and bar installs happen before opening, after close or overnight. Tell us your hours in the quote form and we’ll schedule around them.
Do I have to pay a monthly fee for digital signage?
No. We can set up menu boards that run from a simple media player or USB stick with no subscription at all. If you want to update screens remotely from your phone, we’ll recommend affordable cloud signage apps and help you pick one, but that’s your choice and your account.
Do you do regular IT support too, or just TVs?
Both. We handle basic IT for small businesses and homes: Wi-Fi and networking, new computers, printers, POS hardware, email setup, backups and troubleshooting. One call covers your screens and your tech.
