Likely VESA pattern for a 65″ TV

400 × 400mm

Some models use 600 × 400. Check the manual or measure the holes on the back before you order.

Mount rated for at least

85 lb

38 kg, 1.5× the TV’s weight

Mount type

Fixed mount

Sits flat against the wall. Choose a tilting mount instead if a window puts glare on the screen.

Fixing it to drywall on wood studs

Screw into the wood studs (usually 16 inches apart) with the lag bolts that come with the mount. Never hang a TV on drywall anchors alone.

VESA patterns and weights vary by model, so confirm both in your TV’s manual. If you’re unsure about the wall or the TV is heavy, have a professional installer fit it.

What you need to order a mount

VESA is the spacing, in millimeters, of the four threaded holes on the back of your TV. A mount must match it. Bigger TVs use wider patterns, so screen size gives a good first guess, and the drawing shows the holes to scale.

The weight rating adds a 1.5× safety margin over your TV’s weight, because a mount should never run at its limit. Where the TV goes decides the mount type, and the wall decides how it’s fixed.

Common questions

What VESA size do I need for my TV?

VESA is the spacing in millimeters between the four mounting holes on the back of your TV. As a rough guide, 32-40 inch TVs are often 100x100 or 200x200, 43-55 inch are commonly 200x200 to 400x400, and 65-85 inch sets typically use 400x400 up to 600x400. Always confirm against your TV's manual—this tool gives a likely starting point.

How much weight should my TV mount support?

Choose a mount rated comfortably above your TV's actual weight—a safety margin of at least 1.5x is sensible. The mount's listed maximum should never be the exact weight of your TV. The finder calculates a recommended minimum rating from the weight you enter.

Fixed, tilting, or full-motion mount—which should I pick?

Fixed mounts sit flush and suit TVs at eye level. Tilting mounts help when the TV is mounted high (above a fireplace) by angling it down. Full-motion mounts swing and extend for rooms where you watch from multiple angles, but they cost more and need solid wall fixings. The tool recommends a type based on your placement.
