The TV has several connections that go against the wall, so I wouldn't go closer than 5-7 cm. One of four hdmi, the network cable and the optical sound cable. So if only 1-3 hdmi are connected, you can get closer to the wall or at best you can do something with angled cables. The "Vogels WALL 2215" fits. The TV can only be tilted downwards. It is too hard to engage and disengage. Mounting is easy.
