LG G3 OLED Wall Mount Installation, the easy way!

[@jacacc12]

Just bought a 55 inch LG G3, read the instructions which was total rubbish, thankfully found your video which made it so simple to follow. Like others have said LG technical department could learn a lot from yourself on how to do an easy to follow video, thank you.

[@TellyDan]

Thank you, glad it helped. I found the lg instructions a big faff

Co to ma być? Na takim czymś ma być zamontowany tv ? To całe się rusza. Czy mozna zamocować do własnego uchwytu z wyciągiem do przodu obracaniem na boki góra dół?

[@BerserkeR_031]

For anyone still wanting to mount a 77'' G3, the TV height is 97.5cm. Your eye level when seated is roughly 110cm from the ground, so take the half of the TV (48.75cm) from that number you get 61.25cm round that up you'll have 62cm. Assuming you wall mount it, and make it look clean I'd increase that number to 65cm from the ground so you can place a nice TV console underneath (possibly 60cm in height) the TV, and still see a little bit of your wall in between, instead of keeping it 62cm from the ground, it will look like if someone wants to push the tv behind the cabinet. And you've also got enough room to place a center speaker in your TV console if it's not ported, and angle it upwards to the listeners ears. So, bottom edge of the TV 65cm from the ground, it will be very easy on your neck, the TV will be just a tiny bit higher than the middle of eye level. 65cm + full height of tv (97.5cm) = 162.5cm - 16cm (top of the TV to top of included wall bracket = 146.5cm. So you should mark your center and draw a level line at 146.5cm for the top of your wall mount bracket. Circle the holes with a thin pen at once and you can drill everything. For some with porous walls, you might want to take a wooden plank and drill an 8mm hole in it, and have someone hold it against the wall when you drill the holes with a stone drill bit, that way your drill can't slip away in the wall. You'd obviously want as tight of a fit you can get around the plug, and the included plugs are 5.5cm long so you better drill straight.

[@LuckyLuigi]

This is excellent advice, thanks

[@BerserkeR_031]

@@LuckyLuigi Thanks, another possibility I'd like to mention is to get a less tall TV console so you can put your center speaker on top of it, if you want to. I believe companies also make a TV console of 40cm in height, and high quality (horizontal) center speakers are often ~20cm in height so that also comes out to 60cm, while you'd have the bottom edge of your TV at 65cm. But not everyone wants such a short TV console. But both are valid options, inside or on top. If you place your center speaker on top of a cabinet/tv console, just make sure to move it to the front edge so you cut down on early reflections.

My bench is 42 cm, and eye level in couch seems to be about 101cm, so I think I'm gonna put it at 53 cm from the bottom, to make room for the Sonos Arc below it which is about 9cm. 77 inch, 3 meters away.@@BerserkeR_031

[@tsarnevits]

Hey. May I ask for some advice? I installed mine (65 G3) 70 cm from the floor due to the wife not wanting it to be 50-60 cm. Our couch is like 2.8 m (our seating/watching position) from the TV and my eye level is 5-7 cm from the TV centre (I'm 1.82 m). So a tad bit off from the guidelines "of the Internet". I'm not really sold on it yet, since we just moved in and haven't had much time to watch a few movies or try the PS 5 to calm myself down.. Just the idea of having it not "right" (my OCD) is driving me nuts. But I don't really want to drill new holes into the drywall either.. I've been thinking what if I got the Vogel's Pro PFW 6815 / Sanus VLT16 or the Sanus LL11 and used the holes of the LG wall mount (haven't yet checked if they fit). Or if 70 cm from the floor doesn't sound as bad, I might just leave it alone. Thanks.

[@camy6846]

I'll be using this technique from now on, lol. Thanks for the upload, my friend. Btw, idk if this new or something but these mounting kits come with like a cardboard tool you can fold into a box. It's meant to be placed in that space created between that plate the tv sits in and the bracket itself. It prevents the mount from compressing while you're trying to line up the tv, which was the biggest pain when I started mounting these tvs. I swear sometimes they're not included though, in which case we just grab a block of Styrofoam from the tv box. Just makes mounting the tv that much easier, especially when you're on a 6ft ladder mounting a 86" g3 over a fireplace, lol.

[@TellyDan]

Yeah I did the cardboard fold thing on my 65g2 at home

[@EricQuell]

Very helpful. Much better than the instructions provided by LG or any other video

[@TellyDan]

Thank you, I did read the instructions first then thought this way was far easier.

[@rowansmith2411]

I bought my 77" but deferred delivery while I built my media wall. Og course I didn't have the accurate dimensions for fitting plate location to build my wall with studs in the right place for the bracket, recess my bracket to get a flush fitting, build woood / led work so everything fits nicely etc. I mailed LG Customer Services (UK) with the question and they supplied a tech drawing covering all the rear fittings / dimensions / holes for the whole g3 range within 30mins!! Great service!!

[@LarsSchretlen]

Hi can you share the "tech drawing" with us ?

[@michaelmonstar4276]

Man, you did a much better job explaining how to do this than both LG's instruction-paper and video. - I've been trying to figure it out with my dad's purchase for hours and we weren't sure how to tackle it, especially in terms of not being able to put the panel flat as LG suggests (which also worried us to break it when putting it down or picking it up from horizontally to vertically especially). But clearly, that's not even necessary and we can just pick it up and put it down up against something. - It's a bit less risky than we probably imagined. I suppose the frame-like casing of this model definitely helps with sturdiness. - Anyway, thanks for showing this in detail, cause now we can move ahead with a clearer idea of how to do it. I just wish LG made videos a bit more detailed like this. They streamline it in a very generic and almost abstract way.

[@TellyDan]

Thank you for that, glad it helped and all the best with your installation

[@FredDent-m5b]

Thanks Dan! Needed to refresh my limited memory( 66 YOA) on how to remove my 2015 LG Signature TV. Still works but suffers burn in. This causes a slightly noticeable greening of things that should be yellow. Fred

[@kenway_aurthur]

Thank you for making in-detail installation. This was informative

[@hclandscapes]

Is there enough space for cables to fit behind the tv on the 65inch version? I have heard that some people need to rout cables into the wall so that the wall mount can click into place flush to the wall.

[@djma1]

This video was super helpful. I’ve got the same size G3 and your measurements were spot on! Thank you.

[@TellyDan]

Thankyou

[@moonphaser3304]

Can you leave the TV extended once fitted? Or does it only support flush to wall ? Thanks

[@T-i-k-T-a-k]

Did you find out if it can be extended or if it has to be pushed against the wall?

[@RonaldMcMartin]

same worry for me, did you find out?

Please can you explain why the plywood panel was mounted first? Is this the 55 inch version as seems one person can fit? Tks

[@orionv75]

Great video, I’m about to do the same this weekend. Regarding the plug, assuming the LG power cable doesn’t have an earth, so it’s just brown and blue (or red & black) ?

[@devachapman6315]

Question: I have a plug right behind the TV can the mount be pulled forward and inch or 2 to accommodate the power plug long term? or does it need to be snapped back in for long term use? thanks so much for making this. I agree with others very helpful.

[@kitwinglam9180]

How much leeway does the mount have to slide across? I’ve chased cables ready for the tv and it’s at the midpoint of the wall. However soon realised the middle of the bay window where the sofa will be is around inches offset

[@FCB1708]

I have a g1 65 mounted on the wall is the wall mount the same so if I decide to upgrade to a 65 g3 I just need to switch the tvs?

[@TellyDan]

I think so, I definitely haven't seen any difference between the g2 and g3 pretty sure the g3 was the same bracket as well

Hi, Great video! Just bought a 65g3. Would you have the exact distance between the top of the Tv and the top of the wall mount that will be fixed into the wall? Thanks!

Brilliant thought it should be the same, the bracket and tv casing have been the same for a few years which is good

[@jklasfjkl]

@@SylentONE @TellyDan I've measured it today while mounting the tv, the height (50%) was an exact match (41cm for 65"), but the width was off by 1.5cm.

@@jklasfjkl initially I thought my height was too high. But it came out perfect. I mounted the 55" G2 exactly 8" above my 77" media shelf. Any lower and it wouldn't really look like it's floating

That's interesting and bad at the same time, the template really should be at least within 5mm

[@shreyasurana5069]

Hey! Greay video, what is the difference in cm between the holes of the wall mount where the lugs are supposed to go in?

[@GRIFF22]

I've got similar set up above an old fireplace. So there still enough room behind the panel so that any HDMI's power cables don't get crushed...even if they come outside of the cable management area?

[@adriannowacki9108]

hey, is this bracket included with the TV itself or do you need to buy it additionally?

[@gaveasytiger]

What are people doing with the aerial socket? should that come out from behind the tv? or the same place as the inputs for the hdmis - same with the power/plug.

[@TellyDan]

Sometimes I remove the aerial plate and couple the wire directly to get it tight to the wall, power plug you could do a fused spur outlet but you'd have to chop the plug off.

Would I be able to use my previous standard bracket to put it up? Or is this tv specifically designed for this bracket to he used

[@TB404-un5wi]

I believe you can use a standard VESA bracket, but if you use a normal bracket, you might as well get a C3 model a the whole selling point (yes also slightly higher brightness) is the gallery model, flat against the wall, which you will only achieve with the included bracket.

[@samuelhmff]

My Wallmount bracket doesnt fit on the Tv. I mean, the TV enter the four holes from the bracket, but after, they dont slide to the second stage of the hole. So it doesnt lock properly. I dont know what to do anymore.

[@thehopefulljedi768]

Do you have to push it all the way back or can you leave the bracket extended abit eg to accommodate not having a sunken in socket

[@TellyDan]

Yes you can leave it pulled out slightly to accommodate what's behind it

No, the 83” G3 does not have MLA, either get the G2 or C3 in 83” size.

[@michaelmonstar4276]

@@davem68 Just depends how bright they want it to be. But then, that one might try to make the actual OLED itself bright and thus be a bit more prone to retention or even burn-out. - So yea, I would think the MLA would help in that regard, helping prevent that a bit.

Quick question. Can I attach this included wall mount bracket to the brackets of another wall mount base? I have this entertainment set which is a 2 levels glass desk with two support bars which end in a tv base with vesa brackets. Can I attach this tv bracket to that vesa arms? Using bolt and nuts?

I need to know this too, have a floating wall and the mount I dont think I could have flush on the floating wall as dont think it would be strong enough, so only option is to cut a hole in the floating wall and then mount the mount directly on solid wall, but then the tv would never be FLUSH with the mount and worried if it will be an issue

[@frostybollix]

I fitted a 77" in a customer's house on Tuesday. None of us were happy with the bracket. There is no tilt on the LG bracket. Also, like you see at 3:23 in the video, there's a lot of play in the bracket so it's too easy for the TV to get knocked out of level. Whoever designed the bracket has never spent any time actually talking to TV installers.
