    What can you do with a TV that has a vesa mount?
    leslie
    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, and using a VESA mount can help you position your TV in a way that is visually pleasing and comfortable to view. VESA mounts can be especially useful in small living spaces where floor space is limited and in living rooms where the TV is a central part of the design.

The Sony KDL-46EX503 is a surprisingly affordable mid-range TV. There’s a generous feature set and good image quality from high definition sources. Unfortunately, the poor handling of standard definition content lets this TV down.

Sony's 1080p powerhouse, the KDL-40EX500, has all the motion-smoothing tech of its pricey brethren, but delivers it in a basic, financial-aid friendly package.

As a lower-priced model in Sony's 2010 TV lineup, the KDL-46EX500 doesn't offer perks like 240Hz, 3D capability, and BRAVIA Internet Video. This traditional CCFL-backlit LCD does offer a 120Hz refresh rate and a healthy amount of A/V inputs and picture adjustments.
