TV Mounting

The VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) interface is the distance between the four mounting holes on the back of a TV (shown as ‘horizontal distance x vertical distance’). This interface is commonly used to mount screens on wall mounts or stands.

The VESA is a mounting interface standard used for attaching monitors and TVs to wall mounts or stands. Televisions use several different VESA pattern sizes. The most common are VESA 200×200 for TVs up to 32 inches, VESA 400×400 for TVs up to 60 inches, and VESA 600×400 for bigger-screen TVs.

VESA and display manufacturers use a variety of mounting interface standards and have a similarly wide range of attachments. Not all monitors use the same pattern and not all arms are the same. While standardized, VESA mounting is NOT universal, rather sub-categorized.

Yes, TV mounts often come with weight limitations and size restrictions. Read the instruction manual to ensure you are adhering to these guidelines.

As long as the TV wall mount is bolted into wall studs for a drywall installation, or secure holes into a brick wall, the TV should be securely attached to the wall. If you place the screws directly into the surface, the TV will not be very secure.

There are different types of TV wall mounts which include fixed, tilting, swiveling and full-motion mounts.

When choosing your TV mount, one style is not any better than the other. It depends on your room layout, where you plan to place the TV, and where you will be sitting.

TV mounts can typically be repositioned easily after installation, depending on the TV mount and its adjustability features.

While some people may have the skills and tools to mount a TV themselves, hiring a professional is recommended for ensuring proper installation. Contact Geeks On Site to have a professional set up your TV.
