    TV mounting options

    If you're thinking about where to put your TV, you've got some great options. You could place it on a table or inside an entertainment center. Another cool idea is to mount it onto a wall, which not only saves space but also gives you a better view while keeping it out of reach of pets and children.

    Before you hang your TV on the wall, it's important to make sure that it will fit in the spot you have in mind and that you have the right wall mount kit. You'll need to know the weight, size, and VESA hole pattern (horizontal and vertical hole spacing) on the back of your TV. You can find this information on the TV specification sheet for your particular model.

    When choosing a mount for your TV, it mostly comes down to your personal preference. Considering your TV's weight and size, there's one important specification to keep in mind to ensure compatibility. It's called the VESA size or pattern, and it shows where the four mounting holes on the back of your TV are located for standard screws. The VESA patter is widely used in the industry and is supported by most TV manufacturers. Using a VESA-compatible mount can help ensure a secure and stable installation for your TV.

    Without your TVs VESA pattern, you may end up purchasing a mount that doesn't fit your TV - a headache that can be easily avoided!
