Wall Mounting: The TV supports VESA wall mounting. Refer to the VESA specifications table for compatible mounting patterns and recommended screw lengths based on TV size (e.g., 43"-50", 55"-70"). Ensure the wall mount is appropriate for the TV's weight and size.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Common Issues
- TV Won't Turn On: Verify the power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the wall outlet is functional and if the TV's remote control sensor is illuminated. Try using the TV Controller button on the TV itself to rule out remote control issues.
