Hi recently purchased 65 inch LG C1, seems to sit very low with it's legs on a TV unit.

Haven't purchased a soundbar to go with it yet. Just wondering what's people's hacks or what equipment have they used too work with the C1?

Cheers many thanks.

    Wall mount the tv, especially if there are kids in the house.

      Thanks it's def one to consider ,was just trying to use the unit that have a the moment to see how it goes , also have a Nvidia shield and ps5 sitting beside it

        You can still use the unit to house your nvidia shield and ps5, as well as the soundbar. The reason (apart from superior aesthetics) for wallmounting is that it is a safety concern when used with the stand. Kids standing in front of the tv climbing/grabbing at it can cause it to topple onto them.

          Yea thanks wee have a young one and very energetic dog who know doubt will get into room some day so that is a possibility 😂 ,did you get an electrician in to move sockets or cabling and install the bracket/ Or use some cable hiding equipment /trunking/conduit on the surface?

          • Pecan on 26/04/2022 - 15:59

            @Francis82: Definitely recommend the wall mount then, you have an accident just waiting to happen otherwise :(

            I didn’t need any power sockets installed but they did cut out an extra hole/space for hiding cabling, adjacent to the power socket. They also supplied and installed the bracket. Can’t remember if it was an electrician or just a guy who advertised tv wall mount installations.

            77” C1 for reference, and we have a Sony HT-Z9RF (5.1ch) hooked up to it, as well as a PS5.

    I can't wall mount where I have my 65" CX, so it's on a https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07MT87SN5 on the floor which puts the screen above the TV cabinet (which measures 160 x 60 x 35). Have an LG SN11RG soundbar sitting on the cabinet deck. The LG C series OLEDs are very bottom heavy and situate the VESA mounting points towards the bottom rather than centred, so any mounting option will need to account for these points.

      Cheers many thanks,for the tips

    You bought one of the BEST TVs on the market. Don't pair it with a mediocre soundbar audio experience! Consider a proper surround sound system to get the most out of it, whether it's for movies or gaming.

      What would you suggest ,budget would $1500 max ,that's why I was going down soundbar route, as I've seen home theatres with crazy prices,room is 3.8 x3.4m and I've a ps5 ,Nvidia shield aswel to be hooked up also ,google assistant would be cool but not as important.

    There are some sanus stands that might work. We have a stand designed for tvs up to 65inch and a Sonos Playbase with our smaller c1 and it works a treat.

    Unfortunately you missed that ozbargain by a couple of months but the stand is still around and works a treat in the right situation.

    There are other ‘universal’ models around - the second link is another one from Sanus but there are similar models from others.
