Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding sys-
tem of the building, as close to the point of the cable
entry as practical.
■
When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is displayed on the TV
for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenomenon is known
as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
■
In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged period
(2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).
■
Image burn can also occur on the letterboxed
areas of your TV if you use the 4:3 aspect
ratio setting for an extended period.

VESA WALL MOUNTING
Install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor. When attaching to other building materials, please
contact your nearest installer.
If installed on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe personal injury.
We recommend that you use an LG brand wall mount when mounting the TV to a wall.
LG recommends that wall mounting be performed by a qualified professional installer.
GGDo not install your wall mount kit while your TV is turned on. It may result in personal injury due to electric shock.
CAUTION
GGScrew length needed depends on the wall mount
used. For further information, refer to the instruc-
tions included with the mount.
GGStandard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown
in the table.
GGWhen purchasing our wall mount kit, a detailed
installation manual and all parts necessary for
assembly are provided.
GGDo not use screws longer then the standard dimen-
sion, as they may cause damage to the inside to
the TV.
GGFor wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA
standard screw specifications, the length of the
screws may differ depending on their specifica-
tions.
GGDo not use screws that do not comply with the
VESA standard screw specifications.
Do not use fasten the screws too strongly, this may
damage the TV or cause the TV to a fall, leading to
personal injury. LG is not liable for these kinds of
accidents.
GGLG is not liable for TV damage or personal injury
when a non-VESA or non specified wall mount is

tion instructions.

SE URING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING
WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND
We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,
potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.
■Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.
*If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is
mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.
Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.
■Use a sturdy rope (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie
the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.
■
You should purchase necessary components to prevent the TV from tipping over (when not using a wall mount).
■
Image shown may differ from your TV.
GGUse a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support
the size and weight of the TV.
GGTo use the TV safely, make sure that the height of the bracket on the
wall and the one on the TV are the same.
NOTE
!
SWIVEL STAND
(This feature is not available for all models.)
After installing the TV, you can adjust the TV manually to the left or right direction by 20 degrees to suit your
viewing position.
