A great number of monitors are compliant with the VESA standard. VESA standard means a hole pattern on the back of the monitor: 3"x3" or 4"x4" (75mm x 75mm or 100mm x 100mm). The diameter of the screws are 4 mm. Many LCD monitor manufacturers worldwide agreed on the VESA standard - a major accomplishment. The four holes may be centered or are located on the lower edge of the monitor. With some models you might have to remove the original stand (if the electronic is not located in the foot) before you will see the 4 holes. VESA standard for monitor mounting mentioned above refers to LCD monitors, also called flat panel monitors or flat screen monitors. For plasma screens there is a new hole pattern - 200mm x 200 mm.

Most LCD monitors come with the VESA standard hole pattern, but there are some exceptions. We have compiled  VESA monitor mount reference charts where you can find all common LCD monitors manufacturers, a listing by flat panel model numbers, including information if the particular LCD monitor is compliant with VESA standard as described above.
