* What is the VESA Standard?
VESA (stands for Video Electronics Standards Association. This is an international non-profit corporation, which represents more than 100 corporate members worldwide. VESA supports and sets industry-wide interface standards for the PC, workstation, and computing environments. VESA promotes and develops timely, relevant, open standards for the display and display interface industry, ensuring interoperability and encouraging innovation and market growth. For more detailed - information visit https://www.vesa.org
VESA standard means a hole pattern on the back of the monitor: 3"x3" or 4"x4" (75mm x 75mm or 100mm x 100mm). The diameter of the screws are 4 mm. Many LCD monitor manufacturers worldwide agreed on the VESA standard - a major accomplishment. The four holes may be centered or are located on the lower edge of the monitor. With some models you might have to remove the original stand (if the electronic is not located in the foot) before you will see the 4 holes. VESA standard for monitor mounting mentioned above refers to LCD monitors, also called flat panel monitors or flat screen monitors.
