If you’ve recently purchased a large LCD or Plasma Screen Television, you have probably looked into getting a TV Wall Bracket. After all this is the advantage of having a slim line large panel screen.

To mount your TV, you require knowing your VESA size on the back of the TV. VESA sizes are as follows. VESA 75 have holes 75mm apart in a square. VESA 100 have holes 100mm apart in a square. Larger screens usually have VESA 200, these are 200mm apart offering greater support of the weight of the TV.

To mount your TV using a TV Wall Bracket, you’ll need to know which VESA standard it supports.

A wall bracket is screwed directly into these holes, the main support for the bracket is mounted onto the wall. It is very important if your mounting your TV onto a plasterboard wall, make sure you are on one of the studs running behind.

It is recommended that you mount your TV properly, leaving at least 16mm behind for air circulation. This is to ensure that the elements in your TV last longer.
