FAQ about VESA standard

 

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

The VESA standard, set by the Video Electronics Standards Association, defines the mounting points on the back of flat panel displays. It ensures that monitors and mounts from different manufacturers are compatible with each other.

The main purpose of the VESA standard is to provide a uniform solution for mounting screens and to ensure compatibility between screens and mounts.

There are different VESA standards such as MIS-D, MIS-E and MIS-F, which differ in the size and arrangement of the mounting holes.
You can find more explanation in our article about VESA standards.

Not every monitor has a VESA mount. For such monitors we offer special VESA adap ters to attach them to VESA compatible mounts.
Here you can find our VESA adapters.

The choice of screws for a VESA mount depends on the VESA standard. For PC monitors, an M4 screw is often used, while larger standards, such as TVs, often require M6 or even M8 screws.

To measure the VESA mount, look at the back of your monitor and measure the distance between the screw holes in millimeters. This distance indicates the VESA standard. Example: 100x100 mm

VESA 100x100 is a standard for mounting holes on monitors and TVs. The numbers mean that the holes are 100 mm apart horizontally and 100 mm apart vertically.

Look at the back of your monitor or TV; the VESA standard is indicated by the distance between the mounting holes in millimeters.
