📋 Step-by-Step Guide (5 Steps)
Position and Level the Installation Guide
Locate wall studs using the stud finder and mark them with a pencil. Tape the manufacturer mounting template sheet to the wall at your desired viewing height. Use a spirit level along the template top guideline to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- • Template paper taped flat against the wall without wrinkles
- • Level bubble centered squarely across top reference line
- • Pencil markings clearly visible through designated screw holes
- • Relying on ceiling or floor lines instead of a bubble level
- • Mounting too high for comfortable eye-level seating viewing
Secure the Magnetic Wall Bracket
Drill pilot holes into the marked stud positions. Align the metal magnetic bracket plate over the pilot holes and drive in the mounting screws firmly. Place your level on top of the bracket to verify it remains level under full torque.
- • Metal bracket pressed flush against drywall with no gaps
- • All mounting screws fully countersunk or tight
- • Bubble remains dead center on top edge of bracket
- • Over-torquing screws and stripping the drywall or stud threading
- • Allowing bracket to rotate out of level while tightening
Route and Connect the Ribbon Cable
Plug the flat ribbon cable connector securely into the rear port of the OLED panel housing before hanging. Lay the flat cable straight downward along the wall toward the lower companion soundbar location without twisting. Keep the protective film on the cable until final positioning.
- • Ribbon connector snapped flush and locked into the panel port
- • Ribbon hangs vertically without twists or 90-degree creases
- • Forgetting to attach ribbon cable before mounting panel to the magnets
- • Bending the ribbon cable at a sharp angle, severing internal traces
Mount the Wallpaper Display to Magnetic Bracket
With two people holding opposite side edges, lift the flexible OLED panel toward the wall bracket. Hook the top mounting tabs of the panel over the top lip of the wall bracket. Slowly smooth the panel downward against the wall, allowing the magnetic surface to grip the screen uniformly.
- • Panel top tabs fully engaged into bracket slots
- • OLED screen sits completely flat against the wall with zero bulge or flex
- • Display edges run parallel to room lines and bracket
- • Attempting to lift panel solo, causing screen bending and OLED cell damage
- • Pressing directly on the screen center instead of edges
Connect Companion Soundbar and Power On
Position the companion AV soundbar on a media console directly below the display. Connect the lower end of the flat ribbon cable into the dedicated soundbar port and lock the retention clip. Plug in the power cord, connect HDMI sources, and power on the system to verify image and sound output.
- • Ribbon cable connector fully seated into companion soundbar rear terminal
- • Soundbar power indicator illuminated
- • LG setup splash screen displayed across the entire OLED panel
- • Powering on the unit with the ribbon cable only half-latched
- • Blocking top-firing Atmos speaker vents on the soundbar
