How to Determine Your TV VESA Mount Size
- Difficulty
- Beginner
- Tested on
- Universal VESA Standards
- You will need
- Measuring tape or metal ruler, Phillips head screwdriver, soft surface or blanket
Step by step
Prepare the workspace
Power off the television and disconnect all cables. Place the unit face down on a flat, soft surface, such as a bed or a carpeted floor, to protect the screen from scratches.
Note: Never place a flat-screen TV face down on a hard surface without a protective buffer.Identify the mounting holes
Locate the four threaded screw holes on the rear of the television chassis. These are typically arranged in a perfect square or rectangular pattern at the center of the unit.
Measure the horizontal distance
Use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the centers of the two top screw holes. Ensure your measurement is in millimeters, as VESA standards are strictly metric.
Note: If you cannot find the center, measure from the left edge of one hole to the left edge of the corresponding hole.Measure the vertical distance
Measure the distance from the center of the top screw hole to the center of the bottom screw hole on the same side. This distance confirms the height of the mounting pattern.
Format the VESA size
Combine the horizontal and vertical measurements in millimeters to get your VESA pattern. For example, if your measurements are 400mm horizontal and 200mm vertical, your VESA size is 400 x 200.
Note: Common VESA patterns include 100x100, 200x200, 400x200, and 600x400.Cross-reference with manufacturer documentation
Check the TV’s user manual or search the model number on the manufacturer's website. Verify that your measured VESA pattern matches the technical specifications listed by the manufacturer.
Note: Always prioritize the official documentation if the mounting pattern appears irregular.
