    What does it mean that KDL-40R510C has a vesa mount?
    petra
    over 1 year ago
    A VESA mount is a standardized interface that allows you to attach your LCD or plasma TV to a wall mount or stand. The VESA mount on your TV is typically located on the back of the TV and is identified by a set of holes spaced a specific distance apart. To use a VESA mount, you'll need to purchase a mounting bracket that is compatible with the VESA pattern on your LCD or plasma TV and follow the manufacturer's instructions for attaching the bracket to the TV and mounting it on the wall or on a stand. This will help ensure that your TV is securely mounted.
