    What does it mean that XBR-49X900E has a vesa mount?
    margery_dietrich
    over 1 year ago
    A VESA mount is a standard mounting interface for attaching a display device, such as a TV, to a wall mount or stand. The term "VESA" stands for "Video Electronics Standards Association," which is a trade organization that sets standards for the display industry. If your TV has a VESA mount, it means that it is compatible with VESA-compliant wall mounts or stands. This allows you to mount your TV on the wall or on a stand using a VESA-compliant mounting bracket. The VESA mount on your TV is typically located on the back of the TV, and is identified by a set of holes that are spaced a specific distance apart. The distance between the holes is specified in millimeters, and is typically referred to as the "VESA pattern." To use a VESA mount, you will need to purchase a VESA-compliant mounting bracket that is compatible with the VESA pattern on your TV. Once you have the bracket, you can attach it to the TV using the VESA mount holes, and then mount the TV on the wall or on a stand. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the proper mounting hardware to ensure that the TV is securely mounted.
