VESA Mount Standards What is VESA?

VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) is a professional organization made up of a group of video electronics industry professionals, their purpose is to review proposals and develop standards to promote uniformity in the video electronics industry. Established in 1989, VESA works to develop industry-wide interface standards for a large variety of products including Flat Panel TVs and monitors. What are VESA Mount Standards?

VESA has developed a set of standards for the manufacturing of flat screen televisions and PC monitors. Most manufacturers comply with this standard by adhering to an industry wide "hole pattern" on the back of their displays for mounting purposes. A typical VESA hole pattern for flat panel displays can be one of the following sizes:

* 75 mm x 75 mm (75 mm = 2.95 inches)
* 100 mm x 100 mm (100mm = 3.94 inches)
* 200 mm x 200 mm (200 mm = 7.87 inches)
* 400 mm x 400 mm (400 mm = 15.7 inches)

* 600 mm x 400 mm
* 800 mm x 400 mm

How do you know if your mounting hole is VESA compliant?

In order to assure mount compliance with your selected display please measure the vertical and horizontal center line distance between hole pattern. This measurement should conform to one of the dimensions described above.

If the measurement is outside of these guide lines an alternative adapter plate may be required.
