Step 1: Measure VESA and Check TV Screws
Measure the distance between the holes located at the back of your TV. These measures may form the shape of a square or a rectangle. Check that these measurements are within the VESA range for this wall mount. VESA is an international standard established by TV manufacturers used to determine if LCD/LED TVs are compatible with wall mounts.
VESA Dimensions:
- 75 mm ≈ 2 7/8 in
- 100 mm ≈ 4 in
- 200 mm ≈ 7 7/8 in
- 300 mm ≈ 11 3/4 in
- 400 mm ≈ 15 3/4 in
When attaching brackets to the flat screen, be careful not to overtighten screws and ensure that screws do not bottom out in the mounting holes.
Check TV Screws: Hand thread screws into the threaded inserts on the back of your TV to determine which screw diameter (M4, M6, or M8) to use.
Screw Fit Examples:
- Too Short ❌
- Too Long ❌
- Correct ✔️
- Correct ✔️
Step 2: Attach the TV Brackets to the TV
For FLAT BACK TV (UNIVERSAL MONITOR PLATE)
Attach the TV brackets [02] using the appropriate screws (D1 or E1) and washers (B) as shown in the diagram. Ensure the brackets are vertically centered and level.
For ROUND BACK TV (UNIVERSAL MONITOR PLATE)
First, make sure the diameter of the bolt (D1-F) fits your TV. Then, use the washer (B) and spacer (C1 or C2) as needed. Ensure the monitor brackets [02] are vertically centered and level with each other.
Step 3: Attach Wall Plate to Wall
For wood stud installation, follow STEP 3A. For concrete installation, follow STEP 3B.
STEP 3A: Wood Stud Option
WARNING: Avoid potential personal injury or property damage! DO NOT overtighten the lag bolts [A1]. Tighten the lag bolts [A1] only until the washers [A2] are pulled firmly against the wall plate [01].
WARNING: Ensure the wall plate is securely fastened to the wall before continuing on to the next step.
WARNING:
- Drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8 in. (16 mm).
- Nominal wood stud size: common 2 x 4 in. (51 x 102 mm) minimum 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 in. (38 x 89 mm).
- Stud center must be verified.

3A-2: Mark Center
Ensure marking is at the center of the stud.
3A-3: Drill Pilot Holes
