Looking at a new TV and LG seem to be highly recommended for OLED, looking at the LG OLED 65 G2 in particular

One concern I have is the wall recess for this TV is arranged with 2 double sockets high and centre behind TV, as I assumed a centre mounted wall bracket.

The LG comes with built in wall mount in exactrly the wrong place for me - see below



Do LG TVS come with central fixing points in the back, in the middle of the TV for use with other brackets?

You need to determine if the TV has standard 'Vesa' mounting points.

This is a universal standard for TV brackets.

That is what I am asking here, hopefuly someone has an LG G sereis TV and can confirm as the LG picture above is not clear

Googling gets mixed results

Are LG OLED TVs VESA compatible?
Important note: LG OLED TVs are not VESA-compatible. If you have that type of TV, you can either get a wall mount that is specifically designed for it or you can get a VESA adapter.

Does LG TV have VESA mounting holes?
Your TV has four VESA mounting holes on the back.

I suspect you'll need to check the specific model of interest. You can usually download manuals / tech. specs of the manufacturers website which will answer your question.

I'm aware that there are some sets out there that don't have the standard VESA mount (I noticed this previously when looking at TVs in Currys).

Glad you found it.

I've just received a 77inch C2 which I'll be wall mounting once our refurb is complete. Bought a Sanus flat bracket VL55 and their Sonos Arc mount. I've spent a lot of time deciding how high to mount it and where to put wires etc.

As I'm no longer hijacking your original request, what do others do?

The power cable is attached, so I'm thinking about putting a double socket behind the top half of the TV where there's c. 40mm of clearance + bracket, and plugging the Arc and TV into that.

Not sure about the HDMIs from the TV though. They are on the left side so could use the space behind the TV there to route them, or if there's space more centrally, between the TV and the mount, put them there. I'm not sure there is though. I'm reluctant to unbox the TV fully until I need to, but perhaps I'll have a closer look this evening.

It's odd how manufacturers don't consider wall mounting more, in cable routing for most of their TVs. They do in the Frame (excellent solution there) and I suppose the Gallery version of the LG OLEDs... perhaps that's why.
