Our language is made up of many acronyms and TV wall brackets are no exception. LCD brackets became a necessity when television flat panels were established for home viewing. Other industries developed the TV wall brackets for wall-mounted television panels. However, there was a risk the TV brackets would not conform to the television specifications or that future television designs would not have TV brackets suited for their specifications. There has to be a common understanding and standard defined for the TV brackets and television screens. The back of the television had to be designed in such a manner that they could be mounted on TV brackets easily and quickly. The TV wall brackets had to have arms designed to hold the size and weight of different television models.
VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) is an international association established in 1989 initially to establish internationally acceptable standards for SVGA (Super Video Graphics Array) display resolution. SVGA is an extension to the VGA (Video Graphics Array) which was a purely IBM-defined standard. Since then VESA has established a number of standards relating to video peripherals and accessories.
Wall Mounting Brackets
In the case of TV brackets, VESA established a method and system for defining sizes to mount TVs on a TV bracket and onto the wall. They established specifications in the back of the TV, and on TV brackets to ensure compatibility between products. Without the appropriate standards, the back of the TV would probably not fit on the bracket. This could lead to confusion in the marketplace and may result in fewer sales both in the television and TV brackets industries. To avoid incompatibilities between complementary products, standards were prescribed so the different products could function in harmony and complement each other. Check your TV if it conforms to the VESA standards. If your TV is VESA compatible, it means the fixing holes in the back of the set conforms to an agreed pattern of sizes. These measurements are in millimeters and define the distance between the holes both horizontally and vertically. There is an equivalent TV wall bracket that matches the distances of the holes in the back of the set. There are defined fitting holes for different television sizes which have an equivalent counterpart in the TV wall brackets.
The VESA FDMI (Flat Display Mounting Interface), also known as VESA MIS (Mounting Interface Standard) is a family of standards for mounting flat panel TVs and other displays to TV wall brackets. Store attendants might refer to it simply as a VESA mount. The original VESA mount was four screws arranged in a square, with the horizontal and vertical distance between the screw centers being 100 millimeters. The holes are usually 10 millimeters deep, and appropriate fasteners are normally supplied with the bracket, not with the TV. Since then, the standards have expanded to include other screw patterns for different sizes of TV screens. In addition to mounting hole standards, there have been standards also defined for the location of cable exits. Be sure the television and TV bracket conform to VESA standards to facilitate installation of the TV bracket on the wall and mounting of the TV set.
