A VESA mount typically consists of a metal plate or bracket that attaches to the back of a flat panel TV or monitor. The mount is designed to securely hold and support the display when it is mounted on a wall, desk, or other mounting surface.
The VESA mount usually features four screw holes arranged in a square or rectangular pattern. The most common VESA patterns are 75 x 75 mm, 100 x 100 mm, and 200 x 200 mm, although there are other less common patterns as well. The measurements refer to the distance between the screw holes, both horizontally and vertically.
To determine the VESA pattern of your display, you will need to measure the distance between the screw holes on the back of the display. You can do this by measuring the distance from the center of one hole to the center of the adjacent hole, both horizontally and vertically. If the measurements are equal, you have a square VESA pattern. If the measurements are different, you have a rectangular VESA pattern.
Once you have determined the VESA pattern of your display, you can then choose a mount that is compatible with that pattern. Many mounts are designed to be adjustable, allowing you to fit different VESA patterns within a certain range. However, it is important to ensure that your display’s VESA pattern matches the mount’s compatibility before purchasing.
When mounting a display using a VESA mount, it is crucial to use the appropriate screws and hardware to ensure a secure and stable installation. Most VESA mounts come with a variety of screw sizes and lengths to accommodate different display thicknesses and mounting surfaces. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines when installing the mount to ensure proper support for your display.
In my personal experience, I recently purchased a VESA mount for my computer monitor. I carefully measured the distance between the screw holes on the back of my monitor and found that it had a 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern. I then selected a mount that was compatible with this pattern and followed the installation instructions to securely attach my monitor to the wall. The VESA mount provided a sleek and space-saving solution, allowing me to position my monitor at the perfect height and angle for optimal viewing.
