    What does the "vesa mount" feature of this TV mean?
    mary_koch
    over 1 year ago
    A VESA mount is a device that allows you to mount your TV on a wall or stand in a way that saves space and provides flexibility in terms of positioning. The VESA mount standard specifies the size and placement of the mounting holes on the back of the TV, making it easy to install a VESA mount.
