To the right are some examples of VESA standard
mounts. Since there are numerous types of stands and
mounts available, only a few are shown here. Refer to the
instructions provided with the TV stand that will be
used to mount the TV. Be sure the style of stand select-
ed is capable of supporting the weight of the TV and is
appropriate for the application.

If the mount will be on a wall, a typical wooden stud
behind the wall board would be the preferred choice for
a location to attach the wall mount. The wall mount
location chosen should be appropriate for drilling holes
and have available the required power source as well as
antenna/cable and any other equipment leads as neces-
sary.

A sturdy surface on a desk or other similar flat table-like
furniture would be the appropriate location for mount-
ing a pedestal-style TV stand.
Most stands are designed so that the wiring is threaded
through the stand itself or a loop-through style clamp
so that the wiring is neatly bunched and not strung in
such a way as to create a potential hazard to the user.
(Some stands are portable and can be moved from one
location to another.) Be sure all safety considerations
are followed.
