General Guidelines: Choosing a Location for Installing a VESA Standard Mount
To the right are some examples of VESA standard mounts. Since there are numerous types of stands and mounts available, only a few are shown here. Refer to the instructions provided with the TV stand that will be used to mount the TV. Be sure the style of stand selected is capable of supporting the weight of the TV and is appropriate for the application.
Wall Mounts
If the mount will be on a wall, a typical wooden stud behind the wall board would be the preferred choice for a location to attach the wall mount. The wall mount location chosen should be appropriate for drilling holes and have available the required power source as well as antenna/cable and any other equipment leads as necessary.
Pedestal Mounts and Stands

Most stands are designed so that the wiring is threaded through the stand itself or a loop- through style clamp so that the wiring is neatly bunched and not strung in such a way as to create a potential hazard to the user. (Some stands are portable and can be moved from one location to another.) Be sure all safety considerations are followed.
