VESA mounting standard

What is a VESA mounting standard?

When wanting to mount a TV to the wall with a TV wall mount it is hard to miss the term VESA. But what is VESA mount? The purpose of the VESA standard is to define the mounting measurements for flat displays like flat TVs and monitors. The mounting interface standard distance is the distance in mm between the four mounting holes on the back of a screen (measured horizontally x vertically). This standard has been adopted by most TV brands for TV wall mounts and wall mounting systems.

How can I find my VESA size?

To find the right size of VESA mount to your TV you can do two simple procedures.

  1. Look in your TV user manual.
  2. You can also measure it out yourself. Just measure the VESA pattern from hole to hole on the back of your TV

VESA mount sizes are always expressed in horizontal x vertical.

Below an example on how to measure the VESA size to mount your TV:
