LG 98NU850BPUB VESA pattern and wall-mount specs
LG lists no VESA pattern for this model (wallpaper, transparent or supplied-mount designs use LG's own bracket). It weighs 110.2 lb (50 kg) without its stand. Check the manual or measure the holes before buying a mount.
Mount checklist for the 98NU850BPUB
- Weight: 110.2 lb without the stand. Mounts are rated by maximum load; a mount rated 120 lb or more leaves no doubt, and full-motion arms should have more margin than fixed plates because the load sits further from the wall.
- Screws: use the screw length and any spacers the LG manual specifies. Too long can damage the panel; too short strips the insert.
- Wall: fix the mount to studs or masonry with the hardware the mount maker supplies for that wall type.
What that means when you shop
Without a published pattern, the mount choice starts with measuring the TV (below). At 110.2 lb this is a very heavy set: it needs a heavy-duty mount, fixings into studs or masonry, and three people or a professional installer to lift it safely.
Closest in weight among other brands' 98-inch TVs: TCL QM6K (115.3 lb, 600 x 500 mm); TCL QM7K (119.7 lb, 600 x 500 mm); TCL QM8K (121.2 lb, 600 x 500 mm).
Among LG's 48 models here, this is one of the few without a published pattern. It is a 2026 model, so the specs above come from a current listing.
How to find the pattern on this TV yourself
- Lay the TV face down on a soft, flat surface, or measure it while it stands.
- Find the four threaded inserts on the back panel — on designs sold with LG's own bracket there may be none, in which case only LG's bracket fits.
- Measure centre to centre between the two top holes in millimetres: that is the first number. Then top to bottom on one side: the second.
- Compare with standard patterns (100 x 100, 200 x 200, 200 x 300, 300 x 200, 400 x 200, 300 x 300, 400 x 300, 400 x 400…). A reading within a few millimetres of one of them is that pattern.
- Note the screw thread from the manual, or test-fit an M6 then M8 screw by hand — never force a screw.

Where to sit
A 98-inch 16:9 screen is 85.4 in wide and 48 in tall. It fills the SMPTE 30° view from 13 ft 3 in and THX's 40° cinema view from 9 ft 9 in. At this size 4K looks sharper than 1080p only from 12 ft 9 in or closer; beyond that, 20/20 eyes cannot tell the two apart. The 98-inch size page has the full table and every model at this size.
