Who is VESA?

The Video Electronics Standards Association is an international nonprofit organization representing hardware, software, PC, display, and component manufacturers, cable and telephone companies, and service providers. VESA supports and sets industry-wide interface standards for the PC, workstation, and computing environments.

Choosing which screws to use

You’re probably wondering why so many screws came with this mount. The screw sizes follow the standards set up by VESA for each mounting configuration.

Most monitors have the mounting holes flush with the back of the monitor. If yours is like this, use the short 12mm TV Mounting Screws (A or G) as shown in Figure 2. Make sure that the Washers (F) are placed between the screw and the Monitor Plate (MP). Don’t place the washers between the monitor plate and the TV.

Don’t use screws that are too long because they will not fully seat in the holes and can permanently damage the TV or mounting holes and cause the monitor to come loose.
