Unraveling the Mystery of VESA Wall Mounting
Overview
When planning to mount your LCD or Plasma TV on the wall, ceiling, or a stand/trolley, you’ll often encounter the term "VESA." This guide will demystify VESA, highlighting key points you need to consider for a successful installation.
What is VESA?
The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is an international organization founded in the late 1980s by NEC Home Electronics and other leading video display adapter manufacturers. Their goal was to establish a universal standard for interfacing PCs, workstations, flat panel monitors, and TVs.
Understanding the VESA Standard
VESA standards dictate the placement of mounting holes, typically found in the center on the back of most monitors and TVs. These allow for the attachment of various mounts and brackets once the original stand is removed. Sometimes referred to as the Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI), it's more commonly known as the VESA mount.
Main VESA Groupings
1. VESA MIS-D: Features 100 mm x 100 mm or 75 mm x 75 mm square mounting hole patterns.
2. VESA MIS-E: Uses a 200 mm x 100 mm rectangular mounting hole pattern.
3. VESA MIS-F: Includes multiple holes spaced in 200 mm increments, such as 400 x 200 mm or 600 x 400 mm.
Making an Informed Choice
When buying an LCD/Plasma mount or bracket, ensure the product description specifies whether it matches any of the VESA standard dimensions or offers universal fittings for non-VESA screens. Sometimes manufacturers don’t specify the exact standard, so you might need to check the fittings on the back of the screen yourself. It’s possible for different production runs of the same screen model to have different mounting standards. Therefore, it's wise to verify the screen’s back or consult a trusted dealer.
Though initially limited to smaller monitors, the adoption of VESA standards is growing, especially the larger MIS-F standard used for big plasma and LCD screens. With the rise of third-party universal mounts, VESA compatibility continues to expand.
