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.

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.

LG Electronics 55UP8000PUA Questions and Answers


#1 The c1's back is black in pictures but fully white in unboxing videos. how can i purchase the black version? rear panel lottery...?
The C1 series sold in the US has a black back cover. However, some other markets will have white so it's possible that any unboxing videos you've seen were done in other markets, where a white version will be sold.

#2 Is this compatible with Bang and Olufsen wireless speakers?
I'm planning on using this as a computer monitor. Is burn in still a problem or has it been fixed?

#3 What’s the difference between ‘wall mount’ and ‘can be wall mounted?’ Can all these tv’s be tabletops?
'Can be wall mounted' should mean that the tv comes with an attachable stand but you could wall mount it instead if you get yourself a wall mount, while 'wall mount' suggests that the TV does not come with any stand. This tv does come with the wide solid stand shown.

#4 I'm planning on using this as a computer monitor. Is burn in still a problem or has it been fixed?
Don"t think it's fixed should be alright if you don't leave it on the same screen for a long time.
