Key Takeaways:
- Guidelines developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) are used to determine common bracket and mount sizes for affixing monitors to third-party mounts.
- The most important thing to remember is that the VESA bracket on the back of your monitor and the one attached to your mount must match.
- Check the back of your monitor or take a gander at the display’s box or documentation to find the VESA size of the integrated bracket.
Many consumers like to affix their computer monitors to the wall or an external mount instead of allowing them to freely stand in a workstation area. That’s where the VESA standard for popular computer monitors comes in.
What is the VESA Standard for Monitors?
Guidelines developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) are used to determine common bracket and mount sizes for affixing monitors and televisions to walls and mounts. VESA standards break down into a number of different sized holes and threads that dictate which monitors and mounts can be integrated with one another. This makes it perfect to have two monitors, since the benefits of dual monitors are amazing for productivity.

Find Out Which VESA Mount You Have
The VESA bracket on your computer monitor or television must match the bracket found on your mount. This means you will have to know the size of your monitor’s VESA bracket before purchasing a mount. Here are some tips to get this done simply.
Check the Documentation and Box
First of all, you need to make sure your monitor is VESA-compatible. This is the same as you would do when learning how to set up dual monitors in Windows 10. Make sure they’re both compatible. This can be done by looking for a “VESA mounting compliant” logo somewhere on the display’s box or within the documentation that shipped with the unit. Not every computer display is VESA-compatible. If you are in the market for a new display and are thinking of mounting it, be sure it features a legitimate VESA bracket before making a purchase.

Check the Bracket Itself
If your monitor is equipped with a VESA mounting bracket, you can typically find the overall size by taking a look at the backside of your display. Look for a bracket containing threaded holes and then grab a ruler. Measure the bracket in millimeters along the vertical and horizontal axes. Common VESA standard sizes include 75 x 75 mm, 100 x 100 mm, 200 x 200 mm, and so on. Once you have determined your bracket size, simply shop for a mount that advertises having the same VESA bracket.

STAT:
If a monitor claims HDR support without a DisplayHDR performance specification or refers to pseudo-specs like “HDR-400” instead of “DisplayHDR 400” it’s likely that the product does not meet the certification requirements.
