What Is VESA Mount? Monitor Compatibility Guide

VESA is the common mounting-hole pattern used on the back of many monitors. A VESA monitor arm attaches to those threaded holes through a mounting plate, allowing the factory monitor stand to be removed.

What is a VESA mount?

A VESA mount uses a standardised square or rectangular hole pattern on the rear of the display. Common monitor patterns include 75 × 75 mm and 100 × 100 mm, although other sizes exist on larger displays. Always confirm the exact pattern from the monitor specification or by measuring the hole spacing.

How to check VESA compatibility

1. Look at the back of the monitor

Find four threaded mounting holes, sometimes behind the original stand or a cover.

2. Measure the spacing

Measure centre-to-centre horizontally and vertically in millimetres.

3. Check monitor weight

VESA compatibility alone is not enough; the arm must also support the display weight.

4. Check recesses and cables

A recessed plate or nearby ports can affect fit and may require approved spacers.

Does every monitor use VESA?

No. Some monitors use proprietary stands or require an adapter. Before ordering any monitor arm, confirm that the display has a compatible mounting interface.

VESA size is not the same as screen size

A 27-inch monitor and a 32-inch monitor can use the same VESA pattern while having very different weights. Choose the arm using both mounting pattern and load rating.

Before ordering: send the monitor model number, weight and VESA pattern if you want RIFE to help shortlist a compatible arm.
