Yes, an experienced handyman has the proper knowledge and tools to mount a TV to the wall. They should be equipped to diagnose whether the wall can properly support the TV bracket and use tools like a stud finder, hammer drill, and socket drivers to ensure a proper installation. An experienced handyman also recognizes their limits and knows when to hand the job over to a licensed electrician if electrical work is required. Wiring is where that line gets drawn most often. Running power to a mounted TV looks simple, but most of the ways people do it violate code. To sum up, the mounting itself is well within handyman work, and so is most of the cable management. New circuits, new outlets, and anything behind the panel belong to a licensed electrician. An experienced handyman knows which side of that line a job falls on before starting.
