The VESA standard installation interface is the installation interface used by the association to develop computer monitor and TV designs. It allows users to install it on a screen stand or wall mount at a lower cost, allowing the computer screen to move more flexibly, thereby making the work environment more ergonomic . Please check the table below to describe the VESA mounting interface and corresponding monitor specifications.

What is the VESA standard specification ?
A VESA standard set has 4 screw mounting interfaces, starting from the center of gravity of the screen and radiating to the 4 corners, arranged in a square or rectangular shape. VESA is usually located in the center of the back of the screen. When installing the screen bracket through the VESA interface, the weight of the screen lever can be greatly reduced, allowing it to withstand heavier loads and provide a more stable use experience.
As the panel sizes on the market are generally getting larger and larger, the boundaries between computer monitors and TVs are gradually blurring. If you need to use a screen wall mount, please try your best to purchase a computer monitor or TV that meets VESA mounting standards.
Current computer screen stands or TV wall mounts usually use FDMI MIS-E as the dividing line. The panel size will begin to adopt the 200x100 mm VESA standard installation interface at about 43 inches 16:9 . Since the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 , Working from home has become the norm, and the TV at home has been used for office purposes. Air-pressure screen brackets are used to increase mobility and facilitate the movement of the TV, achieving the dual purpose of working during the day and entertaining at night.
The most common VESA standard mounting interface for computer monitor stands is FDMI MIS-D 75x75mm or 100x100mm . Through the efforts of the VESA Association, various VESA standard converters can be found on the market, allowing non-hole screens, laptops or tablets on the market to be used on computer screen stands.
Advantages of VESA standard mounting interface
- High stability: The center of gravity of the screen and the depth of the screws comply with public standards, so you can use it with confidence after installation.
- High safety: Unlike ordinary screen bases, the screen is fixed with clamps or screws to prevent accidental tipping during earthquakes. It is also very suitable for use in commercial spaces, medical environments and factories where tables need to be moved frequently.
- Diversified choices : Commercially available screen brackets and wall mounts comply with VESA standard installation interfaces and can meet all needs for screen and TV settings.
-
The disadvantage of not having a VESA standard mounting interface
- The installation cost is higher: an additional VESA converter must be purchased.
- Produces extra weight: it cannot fully fit the bracket during installation, so you must choose a bracket with a higher load capacity.
- Unable to stand the screen upright: The center of gravity is shifted and it is not tightly fitted, which will result in the loss of some mobility of the screen stand.

Three common VESA mounting interfaces for ultra-wide curved screens
#1 Most common large screen VESA interface design
It will be hidden at the connection between the original base and 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, you need to use a spacer and a longer VESA screw set to fill the gap so that the VESA panel can Fits tightly to the screen body.
The ULTRARM screen bracket product comes with spacers and an extended VESA screw set, allowing you to easily install an ultra-wide curved screen.
#2 The screen itself comes with hexagonal studs
Such as the 49-inch ultra-wide curved screen of Chimei CHIMEI ML-49C20W. Its actual function is the same as the above-mentioned spacer, which is convenient for extending the VESA interface of the curved screen outwards and integrating it with the VESA panel of the screen bracket. It is important to note that the hexagonal bolts increase the distance between the bracket and the screen. Although it is not much, it will significantly increase the weight of the lever. When purchasing a screen stand, pay special attention to the load-bearing capacity. The devil is always hidden in the details!
#3 VESA adapter for Samsung ultra-wide curved screen
The ULTRARM origin screen bracket is used to install the Samsung Odyssey G9 screen. Due to the 1000R curvature and the leverage force of the VESA adapter, the tilt component must be adjusted upward and the two bolts must be tightened repeatedly.
When Samsung designed the screen VESA interface, it specially created dedicated adapters for different series of screens. For example, Samsung C34J791WT, C43J892DK, C49G95TSSC, etc. are equipped with different VESA adapters. If you plan to use a screen stand, be sure to keep these accessories properly.
Oops! The Samsung VESA adapter has been lost...
Don’t worry, we have gone through the entire process for our customers. In just 3 simple steps, you can order a new VESA adapter from Smasung customer service.
