Wall mounting an LG television offers a variety of placement options.

LG flat panel televisions, to many owners and interior designers, look their best when wall-mounted. LG sets support the VESA or Video Electronics Standards Organization mounting protocol. This means that for the installer, selecting virtually any compatible mount is the correct option, depending on the installation requirements. LG TVs offer a variety of size options, all capable of wall mounting. Regardless of the size or installation, LG sets offer slim aesthetics, ideal for wall mounting.
