VESA Standard
Ergonomics Guide: The VESA standard
The VESA standard is a crucial element in the world of monitors and screen mounts. It defines how monitors and mounts interact with each other to ensure safe and stable mounting. In this article, we give you an overview of the VESA standard, its various categories and why it is so important for ergonomics in the workplace.

1 What is the VESA standard?
The VESA standard, set by the Video Electronics Standards Association, defines the mounting points on the back of flat screens. This 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 thus ensure compatibility between screens and mounts.
2 The different VESA standards
There are various VESA standards that differ in the size and arrangement of the mounting holes. The most common are MIS-D, MIS-E and MIS-F. Each of these standards has specific dimensions and requirements to ensure that the monitor can be mounted securely and stably.
3. Importance of the VESA standard for ergonomics
The correct positioning of the monitor can have a significant impact on ergonomics in the workplace. With VESA-compatible mounts, you can position your monitor at the optimal height and angle to avoid neck and eye strain.
4. Discover more about the VESA standard
There are monitors that do not have a VESA standard due to their design or other factors. For such monitors, there are special VESA adapters that allow mounting on VESA-compatible mounts. Our ergonomics consultant can provide you with detailed information on various aspects of the VESA standard. Learn more about:
