Are you looking for a TV mount but don’t know what the VESA size is? The VESA size is the hole pattern on the back of your TV. The VESA size ensures that you can attach a TV mount to your screen and varies for each type of TV. When you want to hang a TV using a TV mount, it’s important to know the VESA size of your TV. If the VESA size of your TV does not match the VESA size of the mount, the TV cannot be mounted on the TV mount. Most TV mounts are suitable for multiple VESA sizes.
How do I find out the VESA size of my TV?
You can find the VESA size in your TV’s manual. Have you lost it or thrown it away? Fortunately, you can easily determine the VESA size of your TV yourself. The VESA size is the distance between the holes on the back of your TV. The distance between the holes on the back is the VESA size and is expressed in millimeters. The hole pattern is usually square or rectangular. You determine the VESA size by first measuring the horizontal distance and then the vertical distance between the mounting points. A VESA size of 200x100 means that the mounting points are 20 cm apart horizontally and 10 cm apart vertically.
VESA adapter
If the VESA size of the TV mount and your TV do not match, this can sometimes be resolved with a VESA adapter. A VESA adapter is a plate a few millimeters thick that you can mount on your TV. This allows the VESA size to be increased. We supply different types of VESA adapters. The VESA 200 adapter is a good option, for example. By using this model of VESA adapter, a VESA size of 75x75 or 100x100 can be increased to a VESA size of 100x200, 200x200, or 120x180. When ordering a VESA adapter, it is very important that the VESA adapter matches the VESA size of your TV.
Which screws come with the TV mounts?
All TV mounts we supply come with standard screws. Most TVs have standard screw sizes. For example, TVs with a VESA size of 200x200 often use M6 screws, and those with a VESA size of 400x400 use M8 screws. This is the standard size for most manufacturers. However, it can happen that your TV is a different model and therefore has a different size. As a result, the screws supplied with the TV mount may be too large, too small, too long, or too short for your TV. The best way to solve this problem is to get the correct screws at your local hardware store. The staff there can assist you further.
