What is actually meant when people talk about a universal TV mount? The word universal has several meanings. Some examples are: multifunctional, versatile, and general. These are, of course, very broad terms, and it is not obvious to everyone what is meant in relation to TV mounts. We understand this, and for that reason, we are happy to explain.
How do I know if a universal TV mount fits my television?
When we talk about a universal TV mount, we mean that the TV mount is suitable for all brands. So it is generally usable, but this does not mean that every universal TV mount is suitable for every television ever made. How do you know which televisions a universal TV mount is suitable for? There are at least three criteria to consider, and all three are important. If your television matches all three points with the information listed for the TV mount, then the TV mount is suitable! Below we explain the three things you need to pay attention to.
VESA size
Every television that can be mounted with a TV mount has a VESA size. This is the 4-hole pattern on the back of the television, usually in the shape of a square, but a rectangle is also possible. In some cases, a VESA size consists of 6 screw holes. A universal TV mount is suitable for multiple VESA sizes, and when the VESA size of your television matches the VESA sizes listed for the specific TV mount, it will fit! It does not matter what brand your television is, as it is a universal TV mount.
Screen size and weight
We have now established that the VESA size determines whether the TV mount fits, but the screen size and weight of your television are also important. The screen size of your television indicates how large it is. Each TV mount specifies which screen sizes it is suitable for. It is important to follow this carefully because with TV mounts that have functions such as swiveling and tilting, a screen that is too large can affect the operation of these functions. Also, the weight distribution is different with large screens.
Now that we are talking about weight, that is also an important factor to consider when choosing a new TV mount. A TV mount is designed to safely and securely hold your television, but they are tested and approved for a maximum weight. To ensure the safety of your screen and to prevent it from falling off the wall, it is important to compare the weight of your television with the maximum load capacity of a TV mount.
