How to lift an LG OLED TV

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

The method we use can be hady if you are moving the TV around and have thrown away the packaging. whilst LG do recommend using some of the side packing to support the TV when lifting it,we find it can be awkward to hold and it can move about.By using your bare hands you are able to get a better grip and control. Also when wall mounting the TV,the the side packing is too bulky to allow you to get the TV close to the wall.

[@medallion39]

Any advice on how to move just to another room while flooring being done?

[@ryanb9430]

I honestly think it wouldn't hurt for lg to put a bit of housing at the back, make them much less flimsy

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

100%

[@brandonlee7382]

Maybe even a handle each side but obviously would have to blend in with the design

[@thundercat_pumyra]

Agreed. I know some people like really thin screens. But if you already have a bulky part sticking out of the back like that, you may as well make the screen a bit thicker to reinforce it better.

[@LaDeXi]

The G series actually is evenly thick. I don't understand why they don't make C series like that too.

[@bubbaj5007]

I needed this video. I just purchased my C1 and was beyond nervous on how to get it out the box and hook it up lol. It's so skinny I don't want to break it lol. Thank you for this!

[@globalmattyt]

Thanks a ton for this! I've watched a bunch of LG OLED unboxing/setup vids, but none of them showed how to actually lift it safely. This is exactly what I was looking for :)

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

Glad I could help you out

[@duanegee7636]

seriously, i just got one, and opened the box and have been staring at it nervous to move it cause it looks so fragile

[@marinag6396]

OMG this saved our life we did not know how to get this thing off the table 😭 thank you so much!!

[@diegeeleel]

Not having a butler (lol) and doing it by myself, what I did was attach a wall mount bracket with longer screws than would normally be used. This allowed me to use this as a handle for lifting. No danger of damaging the screen. Your back on the other hand…

[@dsertwq]

I had to lift my 77" two nights ago. By myself. I decided to mount it on the wall finally. Talk about an oh sheet moment. I got it up there but luckily it only had to go up about a foot from where it was on my tv stand. I had to get my 90º bent leg underneath the middle while sitting on my tv stand facing the wall. Not ideal and a little nerve racking but I got it up. Ha

[@vscen]

Hi! Cheers from Brazil! Have just bought an OLED TV with this mount and this video taught me and my fiancee very well! Thank you!

[@Darkntwisty88]

So incredibly helpful! I purchased a 65 C1 last year and hired a handyman to wall mount it directly after purchasing. Then I had to move, and having never actually handled this tv myself, I had a hard time figuring out the best way to maneuver it during the move. This helped a ton!

[@SoftHeartHuman]

I have to move and I’m gutted same situation 65inch c1 how did it go moving?

[@Darkntwisty88]

@@SoftHeartHuman So it went okay. It definitely helped that I kept the box so I could literally wrap it back up but you absolutely need two people to maneuver it. We pulled it down from the bracket and then immediately rested it on it’s face on a soft service before packing it back up in the box that it came in, styrofoam and all. Nerve wracking, but it traveled well.

[@Phoenix-Brah]

The synergy of a lifter explaining how to lift tech made my day😄

[@jimh4072]

I just installed my 55 inch CX a few hours ago. I had watched your earlier video where you set the screen on the box and fitted the stand. I will save this one for when I move house next year. I kept the packaging. 👍 thanks.

[@Chadowgon5]

Does the plastic he lifted down for this video is gonna scratch the screen if I removed the screen protector? Or should I use a sheet before putting the Tv back into the box ?

[@jimh4072]

@@Chadowgon5 When I moved house I just packed the tv into the box without any plastic over the screen. Later unpacked it in the new house and the tv was fine.

[@Chadowgon5]

@@jimh4072 I'm afraid that the polistyren damages the screen tough

Great tip! I would love to see how to handle these TVs when moving to a new appartement/house. 👍

[@CaptainQuaz]

Is there any concern about damaging the screen from applying pressure with your hand on it? That's the thing that scares me the most about transporting my OLED.

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

As long as you are not pinching it in one spot and are spreading the load over your palm then you should be fine ,mate. We have never had any issues lifting many TV's in such a way

[@arthur78]

The front of the screen is made of tough glass

[@richy10vtec52]

How's about lifting the tv with the stand attached, say i am moving my c7 to another room and then putting the c1 in it's place?

Thank you very much and appreciated. Did that Today and tested the TV and reboxed it awaiting to be fitted on the wall on a swivel bracket. But had to check because may have been damaged in transit. Cheer's..

[@christianvargas5270]

Thanks so much for making this very specific video! I bought a C1 secondhand and was having a lot of trouble transporting it. As you say the top of the screen is really thin/ seems fragile and its a deceptively heavy tv overall. Great help!

Hey. Thanks for taking the time. I'm planning on getting this TV. However my TV is in a high traffic area. Sometimes it will get a bump from us walking by. Do you think bumping into it often would cause the screen to flex and bend? I'm worried by how thin it is.

[@Bunny-Bones]

@Johnny I bought these until I wall mount my 65’ LG-C1 so my cat or dog do not somehow bump the tv hard enough. I can’t link the product but put this in search engine > Metal TV Safety Straps (2-Pack) Heavy Duty Furniture & TV Anti Tip Straps They are really great adjustable , mount to back of tv stand or wall also stand to wall. Just screw them in 2 vesa holes then bam to whatever you want. Hope this helps

Is it safe to lift a 65 inch c2 this way with the stand on if say I wanted to move the TV to another room

[@unknowntech7]

Excellent, just what I was looking for

[@ryans413]

The C1 with that awkward stand makes lifting the tv a pain.

[@DaP84]

When I placed the C2 on the tv bench after the stands were installed, a strong electrostatic discharge happened between my hand and the upper left corner (didn't lift it there, just had my hand close to the corner), and lit up some pixels in yellow. Really hope no latent damage. I know electrostatic discharges can kill hardware. You think my tv could be damaged? Seems to work like it should for now

I use the side pieces in the box to hold the sides it’s abit easier

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

As mentioned in the video,when wall mounting the side pieces get in the way.And also they can be a bit awkward to hold as they move around.Using your hands means you can get a proper grip and feel what you are doing. Plus not everyone will keep box and all the packing,so this method is ideal for those without it and wish to move the TV around at a later date.
