VESA Mounting Question

4eyeguy · May 23

Will a 100x100 mm VESA mount work with a monitor that is built for a 75x75 mm VESA Mount or will it be incompatible?

Thanks!

Depends on the mount. Some 100 x 100 mounts have both bolt patterns on them. Does yours?

Yes

If it has both patterns it should work fine then. On some monitors the vesa mount maybe recessed slightly so a larger mount may need spacers. However typically spacers are included with most mounts for this reason.

I've used spacers / washers and my own screws from the hardware store before. However, if you go this route you have to be careful that you don't screw to far into the monitor / TV as you can damage it.

If you run into a clearance issue I would buy a tv mounting kit from walmart for cheap. Just use the shortest screws that you can (obviously more than a couple of turns) to prevent using too long of a screw.
