I have a LG CX and what to mount it to my wall.  But I have a lot of questions?  I am using this mount fo LG https://www.vogels.com/en-us/c/thin-505-extrathin-fixed-tv-wall-mount

I have read this:

When wall-mounting, it is recommended to have a clearance of at least 5.5 inches between the TV and Arc. As per important safety information one of the lists states; Do not block any ventilation openings. Leave a recommended space of 4“ (10cm) around the unit.

  1. How high should I mount my LG to the wall?
  2. How high should I mount my arc?
  3. Which mount for ARC?  Should I get the mount that can extend 2 inches?  https://www.sanus.com/en_US/products/mounts/wssatm1/ or get the flat mount?  I want the arc to be as closed to wall as possible.
  4. Do I need a mount that has magnet?
  5. Once I get my TV Mounted, I should mount arc 4inch or 5.5 inch below TV?  
  6. it is recommended to have a clearance of at least 5.5 inches.  

Any hints or suggestion would be great.

Thank you!

I have 8 foot ceilings and a 50 inch TV and my Arc is about 2 feet from the floor sitting on a media console. My TV is mounted on the wall a few inches higher at around eye level and I am very happy with this setup. The height channels are most noticeable about 7-8 feet from the Arc.

Since your ceiling is a foot higher, I think the Arc mounted 24-30 inches from the floor could work for your setup too. But don’t expect the height channels to be very loud 12 ft from your TV.

Thank you again.  I measured TV from couch again. I about 9-10 ft from TV. So mount arc 24-30 inch from the floor and mount TV 5.5 inches from Arc?  Is it better to go higher 30 inches or lower 24inch?

Since your couch is only 9-10 ft away, I think 24 inches will probably be the better option since it will get the TV closer to eye level.

The bottom of my Arc is 22.5” from the floor. I would keep it around this distance.

If you are getting the Sanus extendable mount that you mentioned above then, no, the Arc doesn’t have to be 5.5” from the TV. It could be much closer since the mount allows you to extend the Arc away from the TV.

Thank you so much for all your help. You have answer so many questions for me. Any chance you can share a photo of your setup? I had 2 friends that did the exact setup as mine but later had regrets with height of TV and sound bar placement.
