    What can I use the vesa mount on this TV for?
    florance
    over 1 year ago
    A VESA mount is a type of mounting interface that is commonly used to mount flat panel TVs, monitors, and other display devices to a wall or a stand. The VESA mount standard specifies the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the display device, as well as the size of the mounting holes. Using a VESA mount can be useful for TVs in a number of ways. For one, it can help to save space in a room by allowing the TV to be mounted on a wall rather than placed on a stand or entertainment center. This can be especially useful in smaller living spaces where floor space is at a premium. In addition, a VESA mount can allow for more flexibility in terms of positioning the TV. With a VESA mount, the TV can be mounted at a variety of different heights and angles, depending on the user's preference and the layout of the room. This can make it easier to find the ideal viewing position for the TV. Finally, a VESA mount can also help to improve the overall aesthetics of a room by allowing the TV to be mounted in a way that is more visually pleasing. This can be especially useful in living rooms, where the TV is often the centerpiece of the space.
