TV Mount Finder

Find the likely VESA mounting pattern, the mount weight rating to look for, and the best mount type for your TV size, weight, and wall - so you order the correct bracket the first time.

Where will it go?
What kind of wall?

Likely VESA pattern

400×400 (sometimes 600×400) mm

The hole spacing on the back of the TV. Confirm against your model's manual before buying.

Mount rated for at least

75 lb / 36 kg+

Includes a 1.5× safety margin over the TV's weight. Never pick a mount whose maximum equals your TV's exact weight.

Recommended mount type

Fixed (flush) mount

A slim fixed mount keeps the TV tight to the wall. Add a tilting mount instead if a nearby window causes glare.

Wall fixing

Drywall + wood studs

Anchor into the wood studs (usually 16 or 24 inches on center) with the lag bolts included with most mounts. Never rely on drywall anchors alone for a TV.

VESA patterns and weights vary by model - always verify with your TV's manual or spec sheet. If you're unsure about your wall or a heavy TV, consult a professional installer.

How to pick the right TV mount

Three numbers decide whether a mount fits your TV. The VESA patternis the spacing, in millimetres, between the four threaded holes on the back of the TV - the mount's bracket must match it. The weight ratingmust exceed your TV's weight with a safe margin. And the mount type - fixed, tilting, or full-motion - should match where the TV sits and how you watch it.

This finder estimates the likely VESA pattern from your screen size, recommends a minimum weight rating with a built-in safety margin, suggests a mount type from your placement, and gives wall-specific fixing advice. Treat the VESA figure as a starting point - your TV's manual is the final word, since patterns vary between models of the same size.
