1. Introduction
The Mount Plus 1056 VESA Universal Adapter is designed to expand the VESA mounting compatibility of your existing TV or monitor mount. This adapter allows you to attach displays with larger VESA patterns to mounts originally designed for smaller patterns, preventing the need to replace your entire mounting system. It supports a range of VESA patterns and is suitable for televisions and monitors typically between 23 and 42 inches.
2. Product Overview
The Mount Plus 1056 VESA Adapter Plate is a robust solution for extending the compatibility of your display mount. Key features include:
- Universal Compatibility: Adapts existing mounts to fit a wider range of VESA patterns.
- Multiple VESA Patterns: Supports VESA 200x100, 100x200, 200x150, 100x150, and 200x200 mm. It converts VESA 75x75 and 100x100 mm patterns to these larger sizes.
- Included Hardware: Comes with M4, M6, M8 screws, plastic spacers, and nuts to accommodate various TV and monitor models.
- Durable Construction: Made from steel for secure and stable mounting.

3. Compatibility
This VESA adapter is compatible with displays (TVs and monitors) that have VESA mounting patterns of 200x100, 100x200, 200x150, 100x150, and 200x200 mm. It is designed to work with existing mounts that support VESA 75x75 or 100x100 mm patterns. The adapter is generally suitable for screens ranging from 23 to 42 inches.
How to Verify Compatibility:
- Check Your Display's VESA Pattern: Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV or monitor. This measurement, in millimeters, indicates your display's VESA pattern (e.g., 200mm x 200mm).
- Check Your Existing Mount's VESA Pattern: Determine the VESA pattern supported by your current mount. This adapter is designed to extend mounts with 75x75mm or 100x100mm patterns to larger sizes.

4. Safety Information
- Weight Capacity: The VESA adapter plate extends the mount's VESA reach but does not increase its weight capacity. Ensure your existing mount can safely support the weight of your new TV or monitor. The adapter itself is rated for displays up to 66 lbs.
- Secure Fastening: Always ensure all bolts and nuts are securely tightened to prevent accidental detachment. Do not overtighten, as this may damage your display.
- Professional Installation: If you are unsure about any step of the installation process, consult a qualified professional.
- Hardware Selection: Use the appropriate screws and spacers provided for your specific TV/monitor model. Refer to your display's manual for correct screw sizes.
5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install the Mount Plus 1056 VESA Universal Adapter:
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Screwdriver
- Small wrench or pliers
Installation Steps:
- Attach Adapter to Mount: Align the Mount Plus 1056 VESA adapter plate with the VESA plate of your existing monitor arm or TV mount. Use the provided bolts and nuts to securely fasten the adapter plate to your mount. Ensure the screw heads face towards where the TV will be, allowing them to sit flush. Tighten the four nuts firmly.
- Attach Display to Adapter: Once the adapter is securely attached to your mount, align your TV or monitor with the appropriate VESA holes on the adapter plate. Use the correct M4, M6, or M8 screws and spacers (if needed) from the included hardware kit to attach your display to the adapter plate. Do not overtighten the bolts to avoid damaging your display.

6. Operating
Once installed, the Mount Plus 1056 VESA Universal Adapter functions as a permanent extension of your existing mount's VESA plate. No specific operational steps are required beyond ensuring a secure and stable connection. The adapter allows your display to be used with the mount as intended, providing the extended VESA compatibility.
7. Maintenance
- Periodic Checks: Periodically inspect all connections to ensure bolts and nuts remain tight. Over time, vibrations or adjustments may cause fasteners to loosen.
- Cleaning: Clean the adapter plate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Damage Inspection: If the adapter plate shows any signs of damage, bending, or corrosion, discontinue use immediately and replace it.
8. Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Hardware Not Fitting:
- Issue: Included screws (M4, M6, M8) do not fit the TV/monitor or the existing mount.
- Solution: While a variety of hardware is included, some specific TV models may require different screw lengths or diameters. Consult your TV/monitor manual for exact screw specifications. Additional hardware kits may be purchased if necessary.
- Adapter Plate Not Flush:
- Issue: The adapter plate does not sit flush against the mount or the TV.
- Solution: Ensure all spacers are correctly used where needed to create clearance for uneven surfaces or recessed mounting holes. Verify that no cables or obstructions are preventing a flush fit.
- Mount Feels Unstable:
- Issue: After installation, the entire setup feels wobbly or unstable.
- Solution: Recheck all connections, ensuring every bolt and nut is tightened. Confirm that your existing mount's weight capacity is not exceeded by the combined weight of the adapter and your display.
