Mentioning the days when a television stood in a single position on a table and viewers had to find
a suitable position just to watch it sounds like something out of prehistoric times. By contrast, today‘s
technology adapts seamlessly to the user‘s needs. As proof, there is a wide range of Stell brand products,
which since 2005 include not only stationary, extendable and articulating mounts for televisions and AV
equipment, but also various types of modern tables and shelves.

equipment. This wide range of products offers a solution to both owners of 100“ screens who will

watching television on a 13“ screen while cooking will be pleased with a simple stationary Stell mount
installed on a kitchen cabinet.

VESA
What is VESA?
Perhaps when selecting a suitable television mount you were surprised by the salesperson‘s
question „A what type of VESA do you have?“... Information about VESA and the weight of the
appliance constitutes the key parameters when selecting a television mount or stand.
The majority of today‘s modern television and monitor manufacturers already take into account that you
may wish to mount the purchased appliance on a wall using a mount or to attach it to a stand. So already
during production, they include threaded screw holes on the rear side. This is, of course, very practical.
The catch is, however, that the location of these screw holes (their distance from each other) varies for
individual types of appliances and this fact must be considered when selecting a mount or stand.
In order to know which mount to choose for your television, you need to know the VESA dimension of
your TV (you may also encounter VESA STANDARD or VESA NORM). It describes the span, i.e. the vertical
and horizontal distance between the screw holes on the rear side of the appliance – this determines the
type of mount or stand that is suitable for your appliance.
When you find the VESA dimensions on the rating label of your TV: 400 × 300 mm means that the
horizontal distance is 400 mm and the vertical distance is 300 mm. This means that you need to purchase
a mount that supports VESA 400 × 300.
