@@sparkymotive ha, I meang which QLED should I replace "my ks8000" with.? Lol. I moved to outside. Got a shitty tv and saw the flaws and so I was on the hunt for mid range LED. got one but have to do video next week. I put up a poll
Just purchased the 77 inch LG OLED and the Sanus mount. Also purchased the LED light because of your vid. Nice, to the point very concise. This will make the install that much easier. Well Done! Thanks!
I grabbed a 65” CX over Super Bowl weekend. The folks at Best Buy sold me a Sanus mount, but it doesn’t fit the back at all. So glad to have found this video. Ordered the mount from the link in hopes to remove any guesswork. Video is much appreciated.
Just got the 65" LG C1 - WOW - Awesome TV - but that stand it comes with - Oh boy is janky!. It replaced a 14 Y/O 52" Panasonic plasma - Now that had a great table mount - Wasn't going anywhere - actually had a cat jump on top of the TV. If they do that with the LG stand its going over! So first thing I'm doing is replacing that mount with a wall mount - just bought this wall mount from Costco. Will be following your advice to get it on the wall - Great video thanks.
Just ordered the LG CX... What slim wall mount would you recommend that would keep it as tight to the wall as possible, but still allow it to be angled down a bit? Thx!
Do you know what size screws to use for the LGCX55inch for a Sanus VTVS1 stand? Enjoy your videos btw - have purchased this TV and Sonos system based on your videos!
For the horizontal bars that you screwed in at 3:04, does the TV have to be standing upright or is it ok to screw those in while the tv is laying on its face???
I have a Sanus full motion. 122-b1. Currently for my 65 Samsung. Just purchased a 77 LG OLED and see the mounting holes are at the bottom. Can I still use my Sanus. I know I can move it but I also just finished a chimney and have the mount where I could accommodate the 77.
I have the 65 inch a80j. What mount you reccomend. I Wamt a good quality one that give me plenty room to unplug plug things in. I Wamt keep it around 150 bucks ?
Thanks for this tutorial. I have the LGC9 and was a little skeptical of mounting it seeing how thin the panel is. I'm always scared to touch the panel or even worse, bump into it for fear it could damage it.
I just installed this mount and this tv but what I noticed about the tv mount was it’s cool it has the cable raceways to make it neat. But u can’t put this tv power cable in it because the plug is to big lol. Just a little thing I noticed. Unless u can take off the top of the plastic raceways but I am not sure if you can!
hi B gteat viseo from you as usual i have just got new Sony a90j 65" and am looking for the best all round wall bracket. is there a very good bracket you could recommend that includes good up/down vertical movement. thanks
I have goovee flow pro bars with a camera so it sort matches colors on the tv. Also changes colors left and reight. They also have strips like you showed in this video, those cost a bit more. But Goovee is way cheaper vs philips models
Any concern on the OLED’s (mine is a 65” LG c1) with angle leaning forward? I am just making sure I don’t ruin this thing it’s so damn thin lol. Amazing tv.
Nice demo! I just installed with the help of friends and relatives, a LG OLE TV. I have it plugged in but all I get is a black screen. There is a red light at the bottom but I don't know if that is just a status button for power is available or if that means the power is off. How do I tell if the power is on?
I had that for a 65"... a 48 will be pretty small compared to the mount, though it is fluid and premium.... it is a large arm mount. You can even get away with a smaller arm like the ones I show in my tv mount video... check that out.
@@BTheInstaller Would this mount be the best solution for a 55" LG C1 - need something fluid but not so fluid to smash into my wall lol. Just wanted to know if the size of this mount is overkill
Is the tv panel strong enough to mount it with an angle down towards the floor? I have to mount my panels high and angle them down towards the couch for the best viewing angle.
What adjustments do we need to make up for the lower VESA holes? Any tips on adjusting the height of the TV coming from a LG that has mounting holes evenly distributed on the back? Thanks for the video and the math, very helpful!
You gotta measure tv from brackets now and then get new TV and first then put the brackets on the new TV and then remeasure where the new one will place the wall plate. The wall plate will likely have to come down some.
Is there a reason you always seem ro use dual arm on anythijg bigger than 50". I was reading about difference in single vs dual, most find single arm easier to work with. I just got an xtreme theatre kit for 37-80 and noticed when folded in, its not centered so i need to take that into acount when installing.
how big is the gap from the front of the TV to the wall. Just got a 77” C1 and was looking at this mount as an option. Also, does it have a tilt from top to bottom? Im looking to get it a flush as possible. TIA!
Great vid! I just mounted a 65 inch CX in my apartment all by myself and lifting it had to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever done. It’s not that it’s all that heavy, but it’s so awkward. The way the weight is dispersed, along with the razor-like thinness of the display, it felt so fragile. I just couldn’t wait to get that thing on the wall lol
I trust all 3 brands much more than I do Hisense, VIZIO, and TCL as some claim their tvs are catching up. I feel that's just distraction and reasons to make more videos. These 3 brands are going to be my GO-TOs in US until someone proves me otherwise.
At 9:46 you had some left and right movement. How much can you move total? I have a stud that's in the middle of where the TV goes. Is it possible to mount the wall bracket on the middle and right stud and then move the that bracket that you put on at 9:46 all the way to the left so I can center the tv?
Can you actually put a too long screw through the screen. I’m placing a 48 A1 Oled on a Sanus fixed mount. I know the size is M6. There are a lot of different lengths. How do I know if a screw is too long and can damage the TV.
Do you ever run into trying to pack the back of these tv's with cable boxes/roku's,you know so you dont have to store that stuff into a cabinet below,and if so what mount would you recommend for doing that with ? i got 2 tv's im trying to mount up onto the walls here and 1 is a 65" Vizio thats the one with the bigger cable box,and the other is a 60" LG old school plasma,which is a bit heavier that one is in the master bedroom and runs a much smaller cable box so im not to worried about hiding that one behind the tv,but im still curious what you would recommend for strentgh in holding that sucker to the wall,that one got some weight on it.... thanks B
Just got this TV and looking to wall mount it as well. Going to run the HDMI cables through the wall but if i need to change them how difficult will it be? Guess its much easier with a tv bracket like this?
Can this mount work on a 55" OLED 55C9PUA? because I bought a sanus LLF122-B1 mount but it didn't work because the bracket didn't match up to the holes on the back of the TV.
Does the Sanus swivel 90 degrees on the pivot point nearest to the TV or do you need to also swivel the pivot near the base to achieve a full 90 degrees?
Great video, I just put my CX up on the wall last night, was nervy times! I used a spacer between the bracket and the tv when screwing in, do you recommend that?
Looking into buying one of these tv's and putting on my existing tilt mount, was just concerned about manipulating the TV. With it being so thin and basically just all screen at the edges, is there any concern of pushing and pulling the tv to tilt and turn or is it sturdier than it looks?
Nice video. Seems a little easier lugging this one up instead of the 77, lol. Overall that mount looks pretty nice. I have been using the single stud mounting ones, but this one seems nice that you can center it. That is one of my qualms with some of the articulating mounts.
Having a 16 inch wide wall bracket us better even if you still just use one stud and toggle bolts on top corners with stud in middle. Always better than single stud mount.
i have not researched that. if my kids get at my screen, they know they would be in trouble. lol. i have seen my fair share of hand prints on tv. install on wall and you should be good.
Do you have a video for installation on the LG GX OLED 65 inch it will be on a block wall we have 3/4 inch furring strips and 1/2 inch drywall. We have a sonos sound bar we want to attach a roku and fire stick on back of tv.
Just a heads up: if your studs are metal, then you cannot use this or any other 'motion' brackets. They don't provide adequate support like timber/wood does.
Is it able to put the 65 inch LG CX to a 90 digrees angle from the wall on this particular tv mount? And if not which one would work to put the tv that way. Thank you
How easy is it to switch from wall mount to stand, Id like mine to be wall mounted for everyday tv but closer on a stand when I want an immersive cinematic experience..
Not really that hard as you can lift a tv off mounts like I have in this video and if properly set on the stand, the 4 screws are pretty quick in and out. That's what she said. But seriously, probwbly not what I would do with an expensive oled
I would suggest below, especially if youre doing power. The mount allows the tv to stay out maybe 5 to 6 inches when pushed flush, but the spacing between the bracket and arms is much less.. Plus its usually better to put it under for accessibility. Hope that helps bud, good luck 👍
with the sanus is it possible to turn a flat panel 90 degrees? My 85” tv is 76” wide, so turning it 90 degrees would be about 38” to the wall.... But I think the Sanus is able to only go out about 28”.
Hi I'd like to ask a question, so when mounting this TV say on a TV cart that has wheels does it require a vesa pattern mount? I currently have the older Samsung s8000 the model just before the 4ks and it fits on a standard mounting bracket on my current TV cart. I am wondering if I need to buy a new tv cart to make mounting the LG TV upgrade work??
All tvs have vesa pattern. It may require smaller bolts and it will sit a little higher but you can adjust that. It will work. Where you sliding an OLED around? 😆
@@BTheInstaller I actually have my TV on a heavy duty cart for moving it forward and back I have a small bedroom with the opposing wall having zero space to hang a TV and have found that the cart is very stable for both TV and Sonos speaker.
@@BTheInstaller I was also told that the OLED GX will be much easier to hang than the CX because the CX mounting bolts are low, what is your opinion on this
I like how it separates the tv from the background. They come on when the tv does and most turn off. I have linked them and shown them in other videos.
Love that wall Mount. I got it a few months ago. Worth every penny. I’m going to get the LG CX or the Vizio Oled in two weeks. I know the CX has a big Component back, how many inch is it off the wall for you? That’s a CX you wall mounted. I do know with the arms of the wall mount it isn’t going to be flush, just wanted to know to Compare to my Current television. Your video on the CX was right why make suck a thin tv. When you have to have a Thick components back.
Since you screwed into the stud why didnt you just use a normal wood screw? That wouldve been good enough. You didnt have to use the drill bit to hallow that out.
Does this mount have any sag downwards? I feel like I see it some on the video and I know this type of extending mount is prone to sagging down., but not sure if it's really doing it or it's just my imagination. Does the mount have anything that can be adjusted to compensate for sag?
I want it. Was eyeing one today even. Probably not 77 cause I need to turn it a lot, and that mount doesn't work as good. But its solid. I may get in bedroom. Still would show the same basic tv
I’m actually picking one up in a few days. Almost went with the CX. Gonna throw it on the SLF226 you’ve recommended before even if it defeats the flush mount. I prefer the thicker upper design of this one compared to the CX . Oh and I love 2.1 on all hdmi too...almost went q90t before I went back to lg oled...I have a C7 already
@@samrmills how did it turn out with the alternative mount. I’m trying to mount a TV on my stone fireplace without it feeling like it’s sticking out 8 inches. Was going to go with the GX but was afraid the included mount wouldn’t suffice on the stone.
@@jasonlinscott9215 Turned out great! My 77 is so big I'd almost recommend the tilt option only instead of a full motion swivel. I'm happy with the slf226 full motion at 4" from the wall to the front of the screen. I like being able to get fully behind the tv if/when necessary. I wouldn't be able to do that with the tilt option only. btw, from my experience on this, if you do this yourself make sure you have a capable helper...the taller the better.
Great video thank you also need my sound bar mounted to the tv. Based on your comments you are planning a video on that? I will have my tv this weekend. Do you know the bracket system I’d need? Thanks
I have the sonos arc attached to my tv mount and it hangs under tv. I got the SANUS SASB1 sound bar mount. Or rocketing makes the same one at bestbuy. Its $50. Make sure its the good one im speaking of. Has 2 hockey stick type arms.
Is there a reason for needing a wall rated cable? Ive felt my extension cable multiple times when i had my 55" plasma tv after 3 hours of use connected to an xbox one gen1 and the cable never even got warm, so is there any other reason to be concerned about? (Before people call me an idiot i had outlets installed behind the tv anyway)
Hdmi or power.? Its about the cords being able to slow the spread of fire. Now how hot they get. Not a huge deal for low voltage wires but don't put power in wall.
This is a very informative video. I have older Sanus VMAA18 wall mount that I have been using & want to use it with a new oled 55 cx. Can I do that or should I get the newer mount you used in video? On new oled 55cx, what is the size of the four screws you used to attach the two horizontal bars to the bottom of the TV? The TV did not come with any screws at all.
Most just sit down on top of the mount. That's always the easiest part of an arm mount. I also make it look easy because I do it 3 times a day for 15 years. Have 2 people, follow the directions.
@@BTheInstaller I guess if I'm not following instructions and am wanting to do it by myself (live alone, pandemic...), having that specific piece that attaches to the VESA rails seems really convenient for moving the TV onto the arm without worrying about grabbing at the panel, is what I meant-is that standard with Sanus mounts, or is it just this model? In any case, thanks for both the help and the absurdly fast response 😅
Do you like OLED or QLED? also see this LG CX practical review here.... th-cam.com/video/Q1a-EjVgT90/w-d-xo.html
B The Installer yes I only buy oled after plasma stopped being made. Have a 55 C6 in my bedroom and a 65” C8 in my theatre
OLED currently. Had QLED for years beforehand. It really boils down to which one you can live with, backlight bleed or burn-in.
I'm about to get a little bleed in my bedroom, lol. Which one?
KS8500. Probably put over 10k hours on it though lmao
@@sparkymotive ha, I meang which QLED should I replace "my ks8000" with.? Lol. I moved to outside. Got a shitty tv and saw the flaws and so I was on the hunt for mid range LED. got one but have to do video next week. I put up a poll

Having a 16 inch wide wall bracket us better even if you still just use one stud and toggle bolts on top corners with stud in middle. Always better than single stud mount.

Its like 6 inches. Not sure why they made the tv so thin with the tv still 2.5 inches thick.
Good video thanks- just checking that you screwed direct into the studs? And the screws for that cake with the bracket?
Yes, always at least 1 stud with an arm style mount. 2 is best. The large lag bolts come with all mounts.
Did you use a spacer between the M6 screw and the bracket?
Does the Sanus kit come with bolts or fixings for a brickwork wall? If not, what would you recommend?
It does
Have you found any protective shield that doesn’t significantly degrade picture to protect from kids?

hi what size studs did you use for the conecting the plates to the tv m6x16 or m8x20 i dont want to bust my tv lol
It would help a lot if you told us what kind of VESA mount it is.
Should be 300 x 200.
I understand the CX has an integrated power lead. Which means I assume you would have to cut plug off if you wanted to install on a 'dabbed' drywall?
Do you have a video on the sanus vlf728 s2 ?
Just a heads up: if your studs are metal, then you cannot use this or any other 'motion' brackets. They don't provide adequate support like timber/wood does.
Not correct. My condo has metal studs. Properly installed mount. Used for several TVs. Now used for 65 inch Samsung. Very solid. Swings fine.
That stud finder you are using looks pretty accurate. Can you tell me the model. Im looking for one.
Zircon.. it's like $50
Which screws did you end up using? Did you need the spacers?
The LG is m6.. depth and spacers depend on your situation. I can be done with short screws and no spacers or use longer with spacers
how far is the tv from the wall with the mount closed
Great video! Do you service the LA area? If so, I’d love to talk to you :)

I would suggest below, especially if youre doing power. The mount allows the tv to stay out maybe 5 to 6 inches when pushed flush, but the spacing between the bracket and arms is much less..
Plus its usually better to put it under for accessibility. Hope that helps bud, good luck 👍
Hey when you move the tv does yours wobble on edges it’s sturdy but wobbles
with the sanus is it possible to turn a flat panel 90 degrees? My 85” tv is 76” wide, so turning it 90 degrees would be about 38” to the wall.... But I think the Sanus is able to only go out about 28”.
You won't find a mount to turn 85" perpendicular. The Sanus with the 25" or so extension is solid. It will turn 60° or so
I'm getting a 85" Sony x900h would this mount work for it? Any mount you think would be better? Thanks for all your help.
Absolutely would work.
Hi I'd like to ask a question, so when mounting this TV say on a TV cart that has wheels does it require a vesa pattern mount? I currently have the older Samsung s8000 the model just before the 4ks and it fits on a standard mounting bracket on my current TV cart. I am wondering if I need to buy a new tv cart to make mounting the LG TV upgrade work??
All tvs have vesa pattern. It may require smaller bolts and it will sit a little higher but you can adjust that. It will work. Where you sliding an OLED around? 😆
@@BTheInstaller I actually have my TV on a heavy duty cart for moving it forward and back I have a small bedroom with the opposing wall having zero space to hang a TV and have found that the cart is very stable for both TV and Sonos speaker.
@@BTheInstaller I was also told that the OLED GX will be much easier to hang than the CX because the CX mounting bolts are low, what is your opinion on this
Do bias lights on the back of a TV do anything for viewing experience or is it just for kicks?
I like how it separates the tv from the background. They come on when the tv does and most turn off. I have linked them and shown them in other videos.
Could you install a Blt2-b1 as an example of someone who don’t want a full motion
Love that wall Mount. I got it a few months ago. Worth every penny. I’m going to get the LG CX or the Vizio Oled in two weeks. I know the CX has a big Component back, how many inch is it off the wall for you? That’s a CX you wall mounted. I do know with the arms of the wall mount it isn’t going to be flush, just wanted to know to Compare to my Current television. Your video on the CX was right why make suck a thin tv. When you have to have a Thick components back.
Thanks. Its about 5 inches from front of screen to wall. It's very acceptable. That mount is probably the most balanced and fluid mount on the market.
Thanks.. I really like it as well. I have a open floor plain and it works great for my room.
Since you screwed into the stud why didnt you just use a normal wood screw? That wouldve been good enough. You didnt have to use the drill bit to hallow that out.
Does this mount have any sag downwards? I feel like I see it some on the video and I know this type of extending mount is prone to sagging down., but not sure if it's really doing it or it's just my imagination. Does the mount have anything that can be adjusted to compensate for sag?
No it doesn't sag.
Hey B! Thx for your channel. You’ve been a big help! Any plans for a review or something on the LG GX?! Hopefully in 77
I want it. Was eyeing one today even. Probably not 77 cause I need to turn it a lot, and that mount doesn't work as good. But its solid. I may get in bedroom. Still would show the same basic tv
I’m actually picking one up in a few days. Almost went with the CX. Gonna throw it on the SLF226 you’ve recommended before even if it defeats the flush mount. I prefer the thicker upper design of this one compared to the CX . Oh and I love 2.1 on all hdmi too...almost went q90t before I went back to lg oled...I have a C7 already
@@samrmills how did it turn out with the alternative mount. I’m trying to mount a TV on my stone fireplace without it feeling like it’s sticking out 8 inches. Was going to go with the GX but was afraid the included mount wouldn’t suffice on the stone.
@@jasonlinscott9215 Turned out great! My 77 is so big I'd almost recommend the tilt option only instead of a full motion swivel. I'm happy with the slf226 full motion at 4" from the wall to the front of the screen. I like being able to get fully behind the tv if/when necessary. I wouldn't be able to do that with the tilt option only. btw, from my experience on this, if you do this yourself make sure you have a capable helper...the taller the better.
This is great, great guiding videos!
🙏
Great video thank you also need my sound bar mounted to the tv. Based on your comments you are planning a video on that? I will have my tv this weekend. Do you know the bracket system I’d need? Thanks
I have the sonos arc attached to my tv mount and it hangs under tv. I got the SANUS SASB1 sound bar mount. Or rocketing makes the same one at bestbuy. Its $50. Make sure its the good one im speaking of. Has 2 hockey stick type arms.
Is there a reason for needing a wall rated cable? Ive felt my extension cable multiple times when i had my 55" plasma tv after 3 hours of use connected to an xbox one gen1 and the cable never even got warm, so is there any other reason to be concerned about? (Before people call me an idiot i had outlets installed behind the tv anyway)
Hdmi or power.? Its about the cords being able to slow the spread of fire. Now how hot they get. Not a huge deal for low voltage wires but don't put power in wall.
Did you use 15mm or 35mm screws for the back of the tv?
love it, I work in AV, the cobbler's children never have shoes 🤣🤣🤣🤣, plenum extension cord 🤣
This is a very informative video. I have older Sanus VMAA18 wall mount that I have been using & want to use it with a new oled 55 cx. Can I do that or should I get the newer mount you used in video? On new oled 55cx, what is the size of the four screws you used to attach the two horizontal bars to the bottom of the TV? The TV did not come with any screws at all.
How did you connect the soundbar without The optical cable?
Normally hdmi have connectivity to sound bars.
@@BTheInstaller ok thanks I thought it look like with out a wire.
Can you tell me how far the front of the TV screen extends from the wall with this mount?
Something like 3 + the 1.8 inch depth of tv so like 5 inches or so
Great video as always. Have any GX installs coming up? I have one coming this week and have only watched the LG channel install.
No I would love to though. It has a LG mount, the older ones were bad. This one looks a little better.
This looks really easy to install because of the way you can just grab the part that attaches to the VESA rails. Is this common? Are there other (re:
Most just sit down on top of the mount. That's always the easiest part of an arm mount. I also make it look easy because I do it 3 times a day for 15 years. Have 2 people, follow the directions.
@@BTheInstaller I guess if I'm not following instructions and am wanting to do it by myself (live alone, pandemic...), having that specific piece that attaches to the VESA rails seems really convenient for moving the TV onto the arm without worrying about grabbing at the panel, is what I meant-is that standard with Sanus mounts, or is it just this model? In any case, thanks for both the help and the absurdly fast response 😅
What other mounts are good for the lg CX 77 oled
