How to Remove LG Monitor Stand

If you feel your LG Monitor takes up too much desk space, you can remove it and mount it on a wall. Most LG Monitor models have a separate detachable stand, which you can easily remove using some equipment. Whether you wish to upgrade your home office setup with a gaming unit or declutter the workspace, this guide will help. This article shows detailed instructions for removing the stand from your LG monitor.

Tools Required to Remove the Monitor Stand

• Philips Screw Driver to remove multiple screw sets from the monitor stand.
• A big Yoga mat or microfiber cloth should be laid on your workspace to protect your monitor screen from scratch and damage.
• A user manual is necessary to understand the monitor stand design, locking mechanism, and a help guide.
• Ziplock bag to easily separate the different screw sets from the monitor stand and store it for later.

Procedure to Remove LG Monitor Stand

1. Set up your Work Space:

• Turn off your LG monitor to ensure safety during the process. Then, disconnect its power and HDMI cables to prevent electrical hazards and accidental damage.
• To protect the screen, place a clean, soft cloth on your workspace and place your monitor face down on the fabric’s surface.
• Arrange the required tools nearby for easy access and an uninterrupted workflow.

2. Remove the Base Cover:

• Find the bolt that mounts the LG monitor stand. It is on the stand’s bottom or rear side.

• Carelessly unscrew and detach the base cover using the appropriate screwdriver (Philips or Torx). Make sure the screws are in a safe spot to avoid losing them.
• Gently pull away the base cover with your fingers or a flat tool to separate it from the stand pillar. To prevent damage, do it slowly and avoid using strong force.
• Keep the removed monitor base in a secure location for future use.

3. Remove the LG Monitor Stand:

• Inspect the area where the stand connects to the monitor. Look for screws or a latch mechanism securing the stand in place.
• Carefully unscrew the bolts that hold the stand and monitor together. While removing it, hold the stand securely to prevent it from falling backward onto the monitor.
• If your monitor uses a latch mechanism, gently press, lift, or slide it to unlock the latch.

• Once the screws or latch are released, firmly grip the stand and pull it away from the monitor body. Move slowly and carefully to avoid causing any structural damage to the monitor.

After removing the stand, make sure to keep all the removed parts in a safe box for later use. Your LG Monitor is ready to be mounted on a wall mount or a new monitor stand you like.
