NOTE
PREPARATION
►TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumption. And TV should be
switched off using the power switch on the TV if it will not be watched for some time, as this will
reduce energy consumption.
The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level of
brightness of the picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.
CAUTION
► Do not step on the glass stand or subject it to any impact. It may break, causing possible injury from frag-
ments of glass, or the TV may fall.
► Do not drag the TV. The floor or the product may be damaged.

STAND INSTALLATION
■ Image shown may differ from your TV.
When assembling the desk type stand, check whether the bolt is fully tightened. (If not tightened fully,
the product can tilt forward after the product installation.) If you tighten the bolt with excessive force,
the bolt can deviate from abrasion of the tightening part of the bolt.
Carefully place the TV screen side down on
1
a cushioned surface to protect the screen
from damage.
Set the Stand Base on even floor.

CAREFUL INSTALLATION ADVICE
■ The TV can be installed in various ways such as
on a wall, or on a desktop etc.
■ The TV is designed to be mounted horizontally.
■ You should purchase necessary components
to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on
the market.
■ Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the
possibility of it falling when pushed.
■ The instructions shown below are a safer way
to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoiding the possibility of it falling forwards if pulled.
This will prevent the TV from falling forward
and causing injury. This will also prevent the
TV from damage. Ensure that children do not
climb or hang from the TV.

2
Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the
1
product to the wall as shown in the picture.
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen then
bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and
tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the
2
wall. Match the height of the bracket that is
mounted on the wall.
3
EARTHING
Ensure that you connect the earth wire to prevent
possible electric shock. If grounding methods are
not possible, have a qualified electrician install a
separate circuit breaker.
Do not try to earth the TV by connecting it to telephone wires, lightening rods or gas pipes.

DESKTOP PEDESTAL INSTALLATION
■ Image shown may differ from your TV.
For adequate ventilation allow a clearance of 10
cm all around the TV.

10 cm
10 cm
PREPARATION
Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for align-
3
ment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.
NOTE
► When moving the TV undo the cords first.
► Use a platform or cabinet strong and large
enough to support the size and weight of the TV.
► To use the TV safely make sure that the height of
the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the
same.
A-7
PREPARATION
WALL MOUNT: HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
PREPARATION
■ We recommend the use of a LG Brand wall
mounting bracket when mounting the TV to a wall.
■ We recommend that you purchase a wall mounting bracket which supports VESA standard.
■ LG recommends that wall mounting be performed by a qualified professional installer.
NOTE
►Should Install wall mount on a solid wall
perpendicular to the floor.
►Should use a special wall mount, if you
want to install it to ceiling or slanted wall.
►The surface that wall mount is to be mount-
ed on should be of sufficient strength to
support the weight of TV set; e.g. concrete,
natural rock, brick and hollow block.
►Installing screw type and length depends
on the wall mount used. Further information, refer to the instructions included with
the mount.
►LG is not liable for any accidents or dam-
age to property or TV due to incorrect
installation:
- Where a non-compliant VESA wall mount
is used.
- Incorrect fastening of screws to surface
which may cause TV to fall and cause
personal injury.
- Not following the recommended
Installation method.

NOTE
► Avoid keeping a fixed image on the set’s screen for
prolonged periods of time. The fixed image may
become permanently imprinted on the screen; use a
screen saver when possible.
► There may be interference relating to resolution, ver-
tical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode.
Change the PC mode to another resolution or
change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the
brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic
card can not be changed, change the PC graphic
card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic
card.
► The synchronization input waveform for Horizontal
and Vertical frequencies are separate.
► We recommend using 1920x1080, 60 Hz for the PC
mode, this should provide the best picture quality.
► Connect the signal cable from the monitor output
port of the PC to the RGB (PC) port of the TV or the
signal cable from the HDMI output port of the PC to
the HDMI IN (or HDMI/DVI IN) port on the TV.
► Connect the audio cable from the PC to the Audio
input on the TV. (Audio cables are not included with
the TV).
► If using a sound card, adjust PC sound as required.
► If the graphic card on the PC does not output ana-
logue and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only
one of either RGB or HDMI IN (or HDMI/DVI IN) to
display the PC output on the TV.
► If the graphic card on the PC does output analogue
and digital RGB simultaneously, set the TV to either
RGB or HDMI; (the other mode is set to Plug and
Play automatically by the TV.)
► DOS mode may not work depending on the video
card if you use an HDMI to DVI cable.
► If you use too long an RGB-PC cable, there may be
interference on the screen. We recommend using
under 5m of cable. This provides the best picture
quality.
