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.
