What is the VESA standard specification ?

The VESA standard set has 4 screw mounting interfaces, starting from the center of gravity of the screen and radiating to the 4 corners, presenting a square or rectangular arrangement. Usually VESA is located at the center of the back of the screen. When the screen bracket is installed through the VESA interface, the weight of the screen lever can be greatly reduced, allowing it to bear heavier loads and obtain a more stable user experience.

As the size of panels on the market is generally getting larger and larger, the boundaries between computer monitors and TVs are gradually blurring. If you need to use a monitor wall mount, please try to purchase a computer monitor or TV that meets the VESA mounting standard.

The current computer monitor stand or TV wall mount usually uses FDMI MIS-E as the watershed. When the panel size is about 43 inches and 16:9, it will start to adopt the 200x100 mm VESA standard installation interface. Since the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 , Working from home has become the norm, and the TV at home is ordered to be used as an office. The air pressure screen bracket is used to increase the mobility , which is convenient for the TV to move, so as to achieve the dual purpose of working during the day and entertaining at night.

The most common computer monitor stand VESA standard mounting interface is FDMI MIS-D 75x75mm or 100x100mm . Through the efforts of the VESA Association, various VESA standard adapters can be found on the market, so that the non-porous screens, laptops or tablets on the market can also be used on computer monitor stands.

 

Advantages of VESA standard mounting interface

  1. High stability: The center of gravity of the screen and the depth of the screws are in compliance with public standards, and you can use it with confidence after installation.
  2. High safety: Different from ordinary screen bases, the screen is fixed by clamps or screws, which can prevent accidental tipping during earthquakes, and is also very suitable for commercial spaces, medical environments, and factories where tables need to be moved frequently.
  3. Diversified choices : Commercially available screen brackets and wall mounts all conform to the VESA standard installation interface, which can meet all the needs of screen and TV settings.

Disadvantages of no VESA standard mounting interface

When using the VESA adapter, the center of gravity will shift, causing the monitor stand to bear more weight

  1. Higher installation costs: VESA adapter must be purchased additionally.
  2. Extra weight: The bracket cannot be completely fitted during installation, and a bracket with a higher load-bearing capacity must be purchased.
  3. Unable to stand the screen upright: the center of gravity is shifted and not tightly fitted, and part of the mobility of the screen bracket will be lost.

Three common VESA mounting interfaces for ultra-wide curved screens

#1 Most popular large screen VESA interface design

The VESA interface may be in the groove. In this case, it is necessary to use spacers and longer VESA screw sets to fill the gap, so that the VESA panel can be tightly attached to the screen body

will hide it where the original base attaches to the screen. Such as ASUS ROG Strix XG49VQ, DELL U4919DW, LG 49WL95C-W and other 49-inch ultra-wide curved screens. It is worth noting that due to factors such as the curvature of the screen itself and the center of gravity of the panel, the VESA interface may be hidden in the groove. In this case, it is necessary to use spacers and longer VESA screw sets to fill the gap so that the VESA panel can It fits tightly with the screen body.

The ULTRARM monitor bracket products come with spacers and extended VESA screw sets, allowing you to easily install ultra-wide curved monitors.

 

#2 The screen itself comes with hexagonal studs

Chimei CHIMEI-ML-49C20W comes with hexagonal studs for-VESA interface

Such as the 49-inch ultra-wide curved screen of Chimei CHIMEI ML-49C20W. Its actual function is the same as the spacer mentioned above, it is convenient to extend the VESA interface of the curved screen outward, and it is convenient to combine with the VESA panel of the screen bracket. It is important to note that the hex bolts increase the distance between the stand and the screen, which is not much but adds a lot to the weight of the lever. Pay special attention to the load-bearing capacity when purchasing a screen stand, the devil is always hidden in the details!

 

#3 VESA Adapter for Samsung Ultra Wide Curved Monitor

Samsung, the market leader in ultra-wide curved screens, designed special adapters for different series of screens when designing the screen VESA interface
The Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor is installed on the ULTRARM screen bracket. Due to the 1000R curvature and the leverage force of the VESA adapter, the tilting part must be adjusted upwards and the double bolts must be locked repeatedly.

When Samsung designed the screen VESA interface, it specially created special adapters for different series of screens. For example, Samsung C34J791WT, C43J892DK, C49G95TSSC, etc. are equipped with different VESA adapters. If you have friends who plan to use screen brackets, be sure to keep these accessories properly.
