Troubleshooting
- TV is not level: Use the integrated leveling adjustment feature (if available) or slightly loosen the wall plate screws, adjust the level, and re-tighten.
- Difficulty moving the TV: Check for any obstructions or overtightened pivot points. Loosen adjustment screws slightly if movement is too stiff.
