The LG 98UM5K and Samsung QM98C are both 98-inch commercial displays, but they don't share a VESA pattern or weight class: the LG 98UM5K uses an 800 x 400mm VESA pattern and weighs 78kg, while the Samsung QM98C uses a 600 x 400mm pattern at 56.3kg. Despite this difference, a single mount family can cover both. The VSYS VS01A-69F (fixed) and VS01A-69T (tilt) heavy-duty wall mounts support up to 900 x 600mm VESA and 120kg, comfortably clearing either display's hole spacing and weight with real margin to spare, which matters for integrators standardizing hardware across a mixed-brand display fleet. Both VESA patterns fall under the same Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI) standard maintained by the Video Electronics Standards Association, which is why one correctly-rated bracket can legitimately serve two different-brand panels.

VESA and Weight: How the LG 98UM5K and Samsung QM98C Differ

The LG 98UM5K's 800 x 400mm VESA pattern is wider than the Samsung QM98C's 600 x 400mm pattern, and at 78kg the LG panel is roughly 39% heavier than the 56.3kg QM98C.

A mount rated only for the QM98C's weight and hole spacing will not necessarily fit the 98UM5K without re-checking both numbers, since VESA compliance (the hole pattern matching) and weight-rating compliance (the bracket safely holding that weight) are two separate claims a spec sheet has to satisfy independently.

Spec LG 98UM5K Samsung QM98C

Weight (head only) 78 kg 56.3 kg
Bezel width 17 mm (even) 14.8 mm

One Mount for Both: Why the VSYS VS01A-69F/69T Bracket Covers Either Display

A single heavy-duty bracket rated to the wider VESA range and higher weight of the two displays lets integrators standardize on one SKU rather than stocking separate mounts per brand.

The VSYS VS01A-69F and VSYS VS01A-69T both support up to 900 x 600mm VESA and 120kg, comfortably covering the 98UM5K's 800 x 400mm/78kg spec and the QM98C's 600 x 400mm/56.3kg spec on the same bracket design. This matters in practice for UAE system integrators running mixed-brand digital signage networks across retail chains, corporate lobbies, and trading floors, where different sites may have standardized on different display brands over time but procurement wants one mounting SKU across the whole rollout. Both mounts are UL certified and 4x strength-tested, so the safety margin holds regardless of which of the two displays goes up.

Bezel and Depth: What Changes for Video Wall vs Single-Screen Installs

The LG 98UM5K's 17mm bezel and 79.5mm depth suit standalone signage where profile depth isn't a visual concern; the Samsung QM98C's narrower 14.8mm bezel and 48.1mm depth fit better where the display sits close to a wall in view.

Neither display is designed as a true bezel-to-bezel video wall panel at this size class. For multi-panel video wall builds specifically, check What Is VESA? The Complete Guide to TV Mounting Hole Patterns for how hole-pattern and bracket selection changes once multiple panels are involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the VESA pattern for the LG 98UM5K?

The LG 98UM5K uses an 800 x 400mm VESA mounting pattern. This is wider than the Samsung QM98C's 600 x 400mm pattern, so confirm your mount's VESA range covers 800 x 400mm before ordering if you're installing the LG model specifically.

Can the same mount hold both the LG 98UM5K and Samsung QM98C?

Yes. The VSYS VS01A-69F and VS01A-69T support up to 900 x 600mm VESA and 120kg, which covers both the LG 98UM5K's 800 x 400mm/78kg spec and the Samsung QM98C's 600 x 400mm/56.3kg spec on the same bracket.

Which is heavier, the LG 98UM5K or the Samsung QM98C?

The LG 98UM5K weighs 78kg, about 39% heavier than the Samsung QM98C's 56.3kg. Both fall well within the VSYS VS01A-69F/69T's 120kg rating, so weight isn't the deciding factor between the two mounts, only VESA pattern is.

Does bezel width affect which mount I need?

No, bezel width affects visual alignment in multi-panel video wall builds, not mount compatibility. The LG 98UM5K's 17mm bezel and Samsung QM98C's 14.8mm bezel both work with the same fixed or tilt bracket, since bezel width doesn't change the VESA hole spacing or weight rating.

Should I choose fixed or tilt for a 98-inch commercial display?

A fixed mount like the VSYS VS01A-69F suits eye-level installs where viewers face the screen directly, such as lobbies and trading floors. A tilt mount like the VS01A-69T suits higher installations, angling the display down for better viewing from below.
