Getting ready to hang the TV

Select the location where you want to mount the TV. Clear the area of all furniture and

electronics. You will need some elbow room to mount the TV. You also want to make sure

that your electronic devices are unplugged, covered, and out of way because you are about

to start drilling holes, and that is likely to make dust. You will also need to leave space that

you can use to mount the Monitor Arms (MA) onto the TV.

Your TV may have come with a stand installed. If it did, it is okay to leave it on for

now as long as it does not interfere with the monitor arm installation. If not, you need

to determine the best way to hold or rest your TV safely so you can attach the

monitor arms. Placing the TV face-down can damage the fragile screen or decorative

frame. You may want to get a friend to assist you in holding the TV. If you are

uncertain of the safest way to do this, call the TV manufacturer for advice.

Step 1: Attaching the Adjustable Arms

Your TV owner’s manual generally explains where the mounting location is on the

TV. There are several typical mounting configurations for this size bracket. The

mounting hole distances are measured in millimeters per the VESA (Video

Electronics Standards Association) specifications.

Who is VESA?

The Video Electronics Standards Association is an international nonprofit organization

representing hardware, software, PC, display, and component manufacturers, cable and

telephone companies, and service providers. VESA supports and sets industry-wide

interface standards for the PC, workstation, and computing environments.

Choosing which screws to use for your TV

You’re probably wondering why so many screws came with this mount. The screw sizes

follow the standards setup by VESA for each mounting configuration. 

Most monitors have the mounting holes flush with the back of the monitor. If yours is

like this, you likely need to use short screws. Test several of the screws included in this

kit to find the correct match for the holes in the back of your TV. 

Don’t use screws that are too long because they will not fully seat in the holes

and can permanently damage the TV or mounting holes and cause the monitor

to come loose.
