Securing TV to the Wall

(Except for OLW480B, LSW440B)

Please use the TV close to the wall after installation.

How to fix anchors and screws

(Except for OLW480B, LSW440B)
Please make sure that:

• Check that the material and thickness of the wall and finishing material comply with the installation manual. Before beginning the mounting process, you must be sure the wall is able to support the weight of the TV.
• Should use the enclosed anchors and screws on crack-free concrete walls.
• Never install the product on a plasterboard or wall made of paper or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). When it is necessary to install the product on such wall, anchor screws must be fastened to retaining walls (concrete) or wood Stud inside the finishing material.
• The wall mount should be attached to a stud. This usually will not be a problem, but depending on individual circumstances, there may be cases when the ability to mount into a stud is not possible. In this case, there are a variety of drywall anchors, such as toggle bolts, which may provide a solution. If using drywall anchors, please be sure the anchors and the wall have the ability to support the weight of your TV. Please note that the supplied anchors may not be the correct ones for your individual situation, so you should check with a local professional.
• Other unspecified walls must be capable of supporting pullout loads of over 70 kgf (686 N) and shear loads of over 100 kgf (980 N) per fastener.
• Use an Ø 8 mm drill bit for concrete and a hammer (impact) drill or Ø 4 mm drill bit for wood stud to drill holes.

For installation on concrete wall

1. Drill holes in anchor locations with a drill bit of Ø 8 mm to a depth of 80 mm to 100 mm.
2. Clean the drilled holes.
3. Insert the enclosed anchors for fixing the wall mount into the holes. (Use a hammer when inserting anchors.)
4. Push the wall mount support closely toward the wall to match the hole locations.
5. Tighten screws for fixing the wall mount to the holes. At this time, tighten the screws to a torque of between 45 kgf/cm to 60 kgf/cm.

For installation on wood stud

Use the Ø 4 mm drill bit for wood to drill holes with the depth of 76 mm.
(Clean the drilled hole.)
Without using the wall mounting anchor, fasten the wall mounting screw directly to the wood stud.

Precautions for Protecting the OLED TV Screen

Unlike regular LED/LCDs, OLED TVs produce images that emit light for each pixel, achieving a perfect black colour and delivering clear images without blurring. Due to the nature of the organic materials used to achieve high- resolution image quality, OLED displays generally experience image retention on the screen, which can be a persistent phenomenon. This phenomenon is observed in all OLED panels, and although recommended picture modes can minimise image retention, current technology cannot completely prevent this from occurring.
Displaying the same image for a long time or repeatedly displaying the same image can cause image retention on the screen, which is a common phenomenon in OLED panel products due to the nature of the product. This product has a built-in screen protection feature. Avoid displaying images that are likely to cause image retention, and follow the recommendations.

Images that are likely to cause image retention

• Images with black areas on the top and bottom and/or the left and right sides of the screen.
• Images whose aspect ratio is 4:3 or 21:9.
• Images that are fixed for a long time, such as program number, station logo, game console icon, set-top box menu, etc.
• Other fixed screen images or repeatedly displayed images.

Running [Pixel Cleaning] to Protect the OLED TV Screen

The OLED TV is equipped with a pixel cleaning feature to check the status of the screen by itself and prevent image retention that leaves an image on a screen. This feature automatically calculates the optimal execution time based on the accumulated viewing time and is automatically executed when the TV is turned off. While this feature is running, horizontal lines may appear at the top and bottom of the screen. The pixel cleaning feature works when the product is connected to the power cord and main power.

To run this function manually, press the button on the remote
control, go to → [General] → [OLED Care] → [OLED Panel Care] and press [Pixel Cleaning]

Recommendations for Minimising Image Retention

When watching the TV for a long time, press the button on the remote control, go to → [Picture] → [Select Mode] and set the mode to [Eco] / [APS] (Depending on country), go to [Advanced Settings] → [Brightness] and set [OLED Pixel Brightness] to a lower level. In addition, press the button on the remote control, go to → [General] → [OLED Care] → [OLED Panel Care] and set the [Adjust Logo Brightness] value to [High]. When showing images with black bars at the top/bottom/left/right side of the screen, press the button on the remote control, press , and go to [Picture] → [Aspect Ratio] → [User Selection] → [Vertical Zoom] or [4 Way Zoom] to remove the black bars.

Turn off the menus for setting up devices such as set-top boxes so that they are not displayed on the screen for a long time.

Note

When the screen is showing one fixed image for a long time, the screen brightness will be automatically reduced and then restored once the screen content changes. This is a normal function to minimise image retention.

What is the difference between the LG OLED TV and the LG LED TV?

The most significant difference between an OLED TV and an LED TV is that OLED TVs do not have backlights, which means that they can achieve a truly infinite contrast ratio. This means that no matter how bright or dark a scene is, it will always look perfectly clear. On the other hand, LED TVs use a backlight, which means that they can’t achieve a true infinite contrast ratio. This means that if you’re watching a movie in a dark room, there will be some backlight bleed, which will cause some of the darker parts of the image to lose detail.

What is the difference between an OLED TV and a QLED TV?

The biggest difference between an OLED TV and a QLED TV is that while both are high-end TVs with excellent picture quality, QLED TVs use quantum dots to create their color, while OLED TVs use self-emitting pixels. This means that while both TVs have excellent color accuracy, QLED TVs have more vibrant colors than OLED TVs.  Another difference is that while both are HDR compatible, only QLED TVs support wide color gamut (WCG), which means that they can display more colors than normal HDR TVs.

What is HDR?

HDR is short for High Dynamic Range. It allows for a greater range of brightness on your screen than normal, allowing for much more realistic images. For example, when watching a movie in HDR, you’ll be able to see details in bright areas of the screen that you would normally be unable to see due to them being overexposed. Similarly, you’ll be able to see details in dark areas of the screen that you would normally be unable to see due to them being underexposed.

What kind of HDR does my LG TV support?

Your LG TV supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR standards.

What are quantum dots?

Quantum dots are tiny particles of light-emitting minerals like cadmium selenide or indium phosphide which allow manufacturers to create extremely small light-emitting diodes (or LEDs). Quantum dots allow manufacturers to produce LEDs with specific light spectrums and make them brighter than conventional LEDs with less power consumption. They also allow manufacturers to create LEDs of any size without worrying about color shifting issues or brightness loss over time.
