CAREFUL INSTALLATION 
ADVICE 
 ■You should purchase necessary components 
to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on 
the market.
 ■  Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the 
possibility of it falling when pushed.
 ■  The instructions shown below are a safer way 
to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoid-
ing the possibility of it falling forwards if pulled. 
This will prevent the TV from falling forward 
and causing injury. This will also prevent the 
TV from damage. Ensure that children do not 
climb or hang from the TV.
3
Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix 
the product to the wall as shown in the pic-
ture. 
(If  your  TV  has  bolts  in  the  eyebolts,  loosen 
then bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and 
tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on 
the wall. Match the height of the bracket 
that is mounted on the wall.
Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for 
alignment. It is safer to tie the rope so it 
becomes horizontal between the wall and 
the product.

 The TV is equipped with a Kensington Security 
System connector on the back panel. Connect 
the Kensington Security System cable as shown 
below.
For the detailed installation and use of the 
Kensington Security System, refer to the user’s 
guide provided with the Kensington Security 
System.
For further information, contact http://www.kens-
ington.com, the internet homepage of the 
Kensington 
company. Kensington sells security systems for 
expensive electronic equipment such as note-
book PCs and LCD projectors.

NOTE
 ►When moving the TV undo the cords first.
 ►Use a platform or cabinet strong and large 
enough to support the size and weight of the 
TV.
 ►To use the TV safely make sure that the 
height of the bracket on the wall and on the 
TV is the same.
NOTE
 ►The Kensington Security System is an 
optional accessory.
 ►If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may 
be a small “flicker” when it is turned on.                
This is normal, there is nothing wrong with 
TV.
 ►Some minute dot defects may be visible on 
the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or 
blue spots. However, they have no adverse 
effect on the monitor's performance.
 ►Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding 
your finger(s) against it for long periods of 
time. Doing so may produce some temporary 
distortion effects on the screen.

NOTE
 ►Should Install wall mount on a solid wall per-
pendicular to the floor.
 ►Should use a special wall mount, if you want 
to install it to ceiling or slanted wall.
 ►The surface that wall mount is to be mount-
ed on should be of sufficient strength to sup-
port the weight of TV set; e.g. concrete, nat-
ural rock, brick and hollow block.
 ►Installing screw type and length depends on 
the wall mount used. Further information, 
refer to the instructions included with the 
mount.
 ►LG is not liable for any accidents or damage 
to property or TV due to incorrect installa-
tion:
 - Where a non-compliant VESA wall mount 
is used.
 - Incorrect fastening of screws to surface 
which may cause TV to fall and cause per-
sonal injury.
 - Not following the recommended Installation 
method.
Place  the  ring  spacers  on  the  set  before 
installing  the  wall  mounting  bracket  so  that 
the inclination of the  backside of the set can 
be adjusted perpendicularly.
