Installation

Lifting and moving the TV

Please note the following advice to prevent the TV from being scratched or damaged and for safe transportation regardless of its type and size.

It is recommended to move the TV in the box or packing material that the TV originally came in.
Before moving or lifting the TV, disconnect the power cord and all cables.
When holding the TV, the screen should face away from you to avoid damage.
Hold the top and bottom of the TV frame firmly. Make sure not to hold the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill area.
When transporting a large TV, there should be at least 2 people.
When transporting the TV, do not expose the TV to jolts or excessive vibration.
When transporting the TV, keep the TV upright, never turn the TV on its side or tilt towards the left or right.
Do not apply excessive pressure to cause flexing / bending of frame chassis as it may damage screen.
When handling the TV, be careful not to damage the protruding buttons.
Avoid touching the screen at all times, as this may result in damage to the screen.
When attaching the stand to the TV set, place the screen facing down on a cushioned table or flat surface to protect the screen from scratches.

Mounting on the Table

Lift and tilt the TV into its upright position on a table.
• Leave a 10 cm (minimum) space from the wall for proper ventilation.
Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

Do not apply foreign substances (oils, lubricants, etc.) to the screw parts when assembling the product. (Doing so may damage the product.)
Do not use any unapproved items to ensure the safety and product life span.
Any damage or injuries caused by using unapproved items are not covered by the warranty.
If you install the TV on a stand, you need to take actions to prevent the product from overturning. Otherwise, the product may fall over, which may cause injury.
When assembling the stand, ensure that all of the provided screws are attached. If the screws are not fully tightened, the product may tilt or tip over, resulting in damage. Tightening the screws with excessive force may cause them to come off due to abrasion of the screw joint.

Securing TV to the Wall

Insert and tighten the eye-bolts, or TV brackets and bolts on the back of the TV.
• If there are bolts inserted at the eye-bolts position, remove the bolts first.
Mount the wall brackets with the bolts to the wall. Match the location of the wall bracket and the eye-bolts on the rear of the TV.
Connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets tightly with a sturdy rope. Make sure to keep the rope horizontal with the flat surface.

Use a platform or cabinet that is strong and large enough to support the TV securely.
Brackets, bolts and ropes are not provided. You can obtain additional accessories from your local dealer.

Mounting to the Wall

Attach an optional wall mount bracket at the rear of the TV carefully and install the wall mount bracket on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor.
When you attach the TV to other building materials, please contact qualified personnel. LG recommends that wall mounting be performed by a qualified professional installer. We recommend the use of LG’s wall mount bracket.
LG’s wall mount bracket is easy to move with cables connected. When you do not use LG’s wall mount bracket, please use a wall mount bracket where the device is adequately secured to the wall with enough space to allow connectivity to external devices. It is advised to connect all the cables before installing fixed wall mounts.

Remove the stand before installing the TV on a wall mount by performing the stand attachment in reverse.
For more information of screws and wall mount bracket, refer to the Separate purchase.
If you intend to mount the product to a wall, attach VESA standard mounting interface (optional parts) to the back of the product. When you install the set to use the wall mounting bracket (optional parts), fix it carefully so as not to drop.
When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not to install the TV by hanging the power and signal cables on the back of the TV.
Do not install this product on a wall if it could be exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the product and cause it to fall.
When installing the wall mounting bracket, it is recommended to cover the stand hole using tape, in order to prevent the influx of dust and insects. (Depending on model)

Antenna/Cable

Connect the TV to a wall antenna socket with an RF cable (75 Ω).

Use a signal splitter to use more than 2 TVs.
If the image quality is poor, install a signal amplifier properly to improve the image quality.

Abnormal Display|

If the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with product.
This panel is an advanced product that contains millions of pixels. You may see tiny black dots and/or brightly coloured dots (red, blue or green) at a size of 1 ppm on the panel. This does not indicate a malfunction and does not affect the performance and reliability of the product. This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or refund.
You may find different brightness and colour of the panel depending on your viewing position(left/right/ top/down). This phenomenon occurs due to the characteristic of the panel. It is not related with the product performance, and it is not malfunction.
Avoid touching the screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.
Displaying a still image for a prolonged period of time may cause image sticking. Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a long period of time.

Generated Sound|

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is common for products where thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level noise is generated from a high-speed switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of current to operate a product. It varies depending on the product. This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.
When cleaning the product, be careful not to allow any liquid or foreign objects to enter the gap between the upper, left or right side of the panel and the guide panel. (Depending on model)
Make sure to wring any excess water or cleaner from the cloth.
Do not spray water or cleaner directly onto the TV screen.
Make sure to spray just enough of water or cleaner onto a dry cloth to wipe the screen.
