Why couldn't I mount this television to industry standard mount?
Geek Squad had to return this television to inventory. It can only be mounted to a wall using the LG OLED mount. Studs have to be positioned perfectly in order to position this television in a specific place. I would have had to position the television in a very undesirable place to mount it. Seems very short-sighted of LG not to have a way to modify the wall mounting of this wonderful television.
I had a mounting issue as well. It was solved by first determining the height of the LG bracket that I would need to give me the TV height I wanted. I mounted a 3/4 inch thick, 24inch long by 15inch high piece of birch plywood to the studs. (A larger piece could be used if necessary.) In fact my home has steel studs which is a bit more complicated but not a real problem. After screwing the plywood into the studs I then had the latitude to move the LG bracket where I needed to center it. I then used the provided screws to mount the bracket. There were ample number of screws provided and plenty of holes in the bracket to screw it in. It worked out perfectly and looks great.
