TV mount terms explained
Understand VESA, load rating, stud spacing, tilt, swivel and mounting terminology.
fixed mount
A fixed mount holds a device or object in a set position rather than providing routine adjustment after installation. The label describes the mounting style, not its quality or compatibility.
Learn morefull-motion mount
A full-motion mount is a display mount designed to allow movement such as swiveling, tilting, or extending from the mounting surface. The exact range and supported movements vary by product.
Learn moreload rating
Load rating is the maximum weight a mount is specified to support under stated conditions. It helps you compare the mount’s capacity with the weight of the equipment you plan to attach.
Learn morestud spacing
Stud spacing is the center-to-center distance between wall studs. It helps determine whether a wall-mounted product can align with the available structural support.
Learn moretilt mount
A tilt mount holds a display against a wall or other surface while allowing it to angle up or down. It is meant to adjust viewing angle without the movement of a full-motion mount.
Learn moreVESA
VESA describes standardized mounting-hole spacing on a display, measured horizontally × vertically in millimetres. Matching the display and mount pattern helps confirm physical fit.
