Mounting your LG monitor on a wall can be a great way to free up desk space and improve your viewing experience. However, before you start, it’s important to ensure that your monitor is compatible with wall mounting and that you have the right tools and hardware for the job. In this answer, I’ll provide a guide to wall mounting your LG monitor, covering everything from compatibility to installation.
Mounting a LG monitor on a wall can be a great way to save space and create a clean, modern look for your workspace. Before mounting your LG monitor on the wall, there are a few important things to consider.
- Monitor Compatibility: The first thing to consider is whether your LG monitor is compatible with a wall mount. Most LG monitors come with VESA mount compatibility, which means they have screw holes on the back of the monitor that allow you to attach a VESA mount.
- VESA Mount Standard: The VESA mount standard is a set of specifications for the placement of screw holes on the back of a monitor. To mount your LG monitor on a wall, you’ll need a VESA mount that matches your monitor’s VESA mount standard. Common VESA mount standards include 75x75mm and 100x100mm. Be sure to check your monitor’s manual or specifications to determine the VESA mount standard.
- Weight Capacity: When choosing a wall mount, make sure it can support the weight of your LG monitor. Monitor wall mounts typically have weight capacity ratings, so be sure to choose a mount that can support the weight of your monitor. The weight of your LG monitor can usually be found in the manual or specifications.
- Wall Type: The type of wall you’ll be mounting your LG monitor on will also impact the type of wall mount you’ll need. For drywall, you’ll need to use anchors to secure the mount to the wall. For concrete or brick walls, you’ll need to use concrete anchors.
- Placement: Consider the placement of your LG monitor on the wall. Make sure it’s at the right height and angle for your viewing comfort. Also, consider the location of power and video cables. You’ll want to make sure the cables are long enough to reach your monitor once it’s mounted on the wall.
Now that you have considered the above factors, here are the steps to mount your LG monitor on a wall:
Step 1: Gather Supplies
- LG monitor
- VESA mount compatible with your monitor
- Wall mount bracket
- Screws, washers, and nuts (included with the wall mount bracket)
- Screwdriver
- Drill
- Level
- Stud finder (optional)
Step 2: Choose Location and Mark Holes Choose a location on the wall where you want to mount your LG monitor. Use a level to ensure the mount will be straight. If possible, try to mount the bracket to a wall stud for added stability. Use a stud finder to locate the studs behind the drywall. Mark the location of the screw holes on the wall using a pencil.
Step 3: Drill Holes Use a drill to make pilot holes at the marked locations. If you’re mounting the bracket to a wall stud, drill the pilot holes directly into the stud. If you’re mounting the bracket to drywall, use a wall anchor to secure the mount to the wall.
Step 4: Attach the Wall Mount Bracket Attach the wall mount bracket to the wall using screws, washers, and nuts. Make sure the bracket is level and secure.
Step 5: Attach VESA Mount to LG Monitor Attach the VESA mount to the back of your LG monitor using screws, washers, and nuts. Be sure to use the correct screws for your monitor’s VESA mount standard.
Step 6: Attach LG Monitor to Wall Mount Bracket Attach the LG monitor to the wall mount bracket using screws, washers, and nuts. Double-check that everything is level and secure.
Step 7: Adjust and Test Adjust the angle of the monitor as needed for optimal viewing. Test the stability of the mount by gently shaking the monitor.
Congratulations, you have successfully mounted your LG monitor
