FAQs
What is a VESA pattern?
A VESA pattern refers to the configuration of the four mounting holes on the back of a TV or monitor. For example, a 100 x 100mm VESA pattern has the mounting holes 100mm apart, arranged in a square. Before you select a mount, check the VESA mounting holes on the back of your display and measure the distance between the holes (center to center) to verify the VESA configuration. The specifications should also be in your owner's manual. Many mounts accommodate a variety of patterns, but make sure that the mount you choose fits the equipment you have or plan to purchase.
How do I find the VESA pattern for my TV or Monitor?
Locate the four mounting holes on the back of your TV or monitor. They will be in either a square or rectangular configuration. Measure the distance between the holes(center to center). The most common and standard VESA patterns vary in 100mm increments, roughly equivalent to 4 inches. The distance may be close to 4 inches, 8 inches, or 16 inches apart. VESA patterns are listed with the horizontal distance first, followed by the vertical distance. For example, holes that are 8” by 4” apart would be categorized as a 400 x 200mm VESA pattern.

How high should I mount my TV?
The best height for your TV depends on a variety of factors including furniture, size of room, and viewing preferences. The simplest method is to position the TV so that the center is the same height as your eye level. If you watch TV most often while sitting down, centering your TV about 42 inches above the ground should work well. However, if your TV is extremely large, or you have a seating area with high-top bar stools, you may want to mount the TV higher. Whatever height you choose, try to make sure that the bottom of the TV is still close to eye level when seated. If TVs are mounted too high, craning your neck to look up can lead to neck and back discomfort or eye strain when watching for long periods of time.
