Summary: LG TVs utilize screws sized M4, M6, and M8 for wall mounting, with the specific size varying by model.
LG TVs employ varying screw sizes for mounting, and these sizes depend on the model.
I’ll elaborate on this further below!
What screw size do I need to mount my LG TV?
I have created the table below to show the screw size needed for mounting an LG TV.
| Screw Size | Screen Size | VESA |
| M4 | less than 19 inches | 75 x 75 |
| M4 | 19-20 inches | 100 x 100 |
| M4 | 23-29 inches | 100 x 200 |
| M6 | 30-40 inches | 200 x 200 |
| M8 | 40-80 inches | 400 x 400 or bigger |
The M6 can also be used for TVs with smaller screen sizes. However, other screw sizes are particular to the mentioned screen sizes mentioned above.
M6 screws are also the most common screws used in mounting TVs as they’re strong and big enough to hold the unit. Also, the length is big enough that it won’t pierce the skin even when completely screwed into the mounting hole.
Does LG TV use VESA mounting holes?
Yes, LG TV use VESA mounting holes.
LG TV does come with a VESA mounting pattern located a the back of your TV. You’ll have to consider VESA standard when buying screws to ensure it fits perfectly on the TV.

Do all LG TVs use the same wall mount?
Not all LG TVs use the same wall mount.
However, modern TVs are designed to fit the standard wall mount that you’ll find in the market. That said, it doesn’t matter if you have Samsung, TCL, Hisense, or LG.
And yes, the wall mount doesn’t have to be the same brand as your TV!
How do I attach my LG TV to the wall bracket?
Here’s what you’ll need to attach an LG TV to the wall bracket:
- pencil or masking tape
- tape measure

Does LG OLED need a special wall mount?
Yes, LG OLED TVs need a special wall mount.
The reason is that the hole patterns of most LG OLED TVs have dimensions of no more than 400mm wide x 200 mm high (VESA 400 x 200) which is different to those of regular TV.
