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 side and bottom of the TV frame firmly. Make sure not to hold the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill area.

Mounting on the Table

1. Lift and tilt the TV into its upright position on a table.

• Leave a 10 cm (minimum) space from the wall for proper ventilation.

2. Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

CAUTION:

• Do not apply foreign substances (oils, lubricants, etc.) to the screw parts when assembling the product. (Doing so may damage the product.)
• 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.
• 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.
• Make sure that the screws are inserted correctly and fastened securely. (If they are not fastened securely enough, the TV may tilt forward after being installed.) Do not use too much force and over tighten the screws; otherwise screw may be damaged and not tighten correctly.
• Do not fasten the screws with excessive force otherwise they may strip and become loose.

Securing TV to the Wall

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets tightly with a sturdy rope. Make sure to keep the rope horizontal with the flat surface.

• 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.

CAUTION:

• 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.

• Please use the accessory cable holder when hanging on the wall. (Only OLED48CX*B, OLED48CX*C, OLED55/65/77CX*)

Abnormal Display

• 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 TV’s performance. 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.

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.

CAUTION:

• 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.

Important Information for Preventing Image Retention

OLED is a self-emissive technology, which brings many significant benefits to image quality and performance. As with any self-emitting display, it is possible for users of OLED TVs to experience temporary image retention under certain conditions, such as when displaying a static image on the screen for a long time. LG OLED TVs incorporate dedicated functions that protect the screen from possible image retention.

If a static image persists on screen, screen brightness is automatically reduced in specific areas of, or across the entire screen. Once the static image disappears, screen brightness will automatically return to its prior setting. This is not a product malfunction.

Examples of Images that may Cause Image Retention

• Still images or fixed images containing certain information that are displayed uninterrupted on the screen, such as channel numbers, station logos, program titles, news or movie subtitles, and headlines.
• Fixed menu or icons for video game consoles or broadcasting set-top boxes.
• Black bars shown on the left, right, top, or bottom of the screen, such as in images with a 4:3 or 21:9 ratio.

Recommended Measures for Preventing Image Retention

• Avoid watching a video displaying an image as listed above for extended periods of time.
• Adjust your TV settings as below when turning on a video exhibiting an image as listed above for extended periods of time.

• Turn off the menu bar of an external device, such as a set-top box, to prevent long-term display of the menu bar of such device. (Please refer to the manual of the applicable external device for instructions.)
• Adjust the settings as below when watching a video constantly showing black bars on the left, right, top or bottom, in order to remove the black bars.

Information on Functions Supporting Image Quality in Relation to Temporary Image Retention

• LG OLED TVs provide a feature called Pixel Refresher, which helps to prevent temporary image retention.
• When the accumulated television viewing time reaches 2,000 hours or more (this is equivalent to watching TV for five hours a day over the course of a year), Pixel Refresher will be automatically activated once your TV is turned off. When turning off your TV, a notice will appear on the screen informing the activation of Pixel
• Refresher. This feature will run for an hour while your TV is turned off. A horizontal line may appear at the top or bottom of the screen when the process is almost finished.
• You may also manually activate Pixel Refresher via the TV menu: → [Picture] → [OLED Screen Saver] → [Pixel Refresher].
• Whenever you watch your TV for more than four cumulative hours, Pixel Refresher will be automatically activated for a few minutes once your TV is turned off. (Note: Pixel Refresher will not be activated if the power cord of your TV is not plugged in or the main power is off.)
