Jvc Tv Wall Mount? The 61 Top Answers

What is VESA?

VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) is a professional organization composed of a group of video electronics experts who review proposals and develop standards to promote uniformity in the video electronics industry.

What are VESA mount standards?

VESA has developed a set of standards for manufacturing flat panel televisions and monitors. Most manufacturers meet this standard by following an industry-wide pattern of holes on the back of the TV or monitor for mounting purposes. The VESA hole pattern for flat panel displays can be any of the following sizes:

75mm x 75mm (75mm = 2.95 inch)

100mm x 100mm (100mm = 3.94 inch)

200mm x 200mm (200mm = 7.87 inch)

400mm x 400mm (400mm = 15.7 inch)

600mm x 400mm (600mm = 23.6 inch

800mm x 400mm (800mm = 31.5 inch)

How do you know if your TV or monitor is VESA compliant?

To determine if your TV is VESA compatible, measure the vertical and horizontal centerline distance between the hole pattern on the back of the TV. This measurement should match one of the dimensions given above. The image below is an example of the holes that may appear on the back of your TV or monitor.

What are the best wall mount TVs? The question is not as simple as it might first appear.

Yes, pretty much any new TV can be wall mounted. They almost all have mounting holes on the back that conform to the VESA interface standard – which means it’s pretty easy to buy a wall mount to match. As long as you’re safe with a spirit level and a drill, you can pretty much wall mount any TV you want to mention. Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you have to do it automatically.

Probably the most obvious consideration is the depth of the cabinet of the TV in question. After all, some flat screens are significantly slimmer than others – and if your new TV is one of the less slim, you might not enjoy it protruding from your wall. And don’t forget that the much-celebrated flatness of OLED TVs in particular is a very qualified flatness indeed. All of these TVs have to store their hardware somewhere – and if you look at something like the Sony A90J we recently reviewed, its at times 6mm depth swells to a much more ordinary 41mm, where all of its electronics, speaker drivers and ports are positioned.

It’s important to consider the position of your TV in your room – and no, we don’t mean “on the wall”. These large screens are made of either plastic or glass and all reflect – to a lesser or greater extent – light from sources around them. Poor positioning in relation to windows or interior lighting can cause reflection problems, and some TV manufacturers are far more conscientious about reducing the glare sensitivity of their screens than others.

It’s also worth remembering that this screen requires AC power, as well as connections to sources like game consoles, cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and everything else. Your display is ideally located close enough to a wall outlet and the rest of your system to avoid the need for extra-long cables. But no matter how long they are, cords are needed — and chances are you’ll want to hide them somehow.

Also, don’t forget that wall-mounting your TV means you severely limit your chances of placing a soundbar underneath. So your wall-mounted TV should also sound at least halfway decent.

The following screens are the best wall mount TVs, although they are all good choices to place on a counter too if you are inclined to do so.

1. Samsung QN95A Neo QLED TV The arrival of mini-LED only improves this Samsung screen. Specs Screen Size: 55″, 65″, 75″ Resolution: 4K Panel Technology: Neo QLED Smart TV: Tizen HDR: HDR10, HLG HDR10+ Reasons to Buy + Slim Body + Off-board Junction Box Reasons to Avoid – Quite Expensive – No Dolby Vision HDR

All things being equal, this is the one we would choose. Its mini-LED configuration (which the company insists on calling Neo QLED) along with Samsung’s picture-quality smarts make it a no-fuss delight. It has a fairly powerful audio system by prevailing standards. Its response times with next-gen consoles are comfortably under 10 m/s. It features Samsung’s anti-glare coating to minimize reflection. And its Tizen Smart TV interface remains one of the best around.

Thanks to a body that’s a consistent (and extremely thin) depth of 25mm, it sits fairly flush against the wall when mounted there. And thanks to Samsung’s brilliant One Connect Box, all connectivity requirements – including mains power – are off-board. So once the screen is hung on the wall, all that’s left to do is hide a thin cable.

However, those of you in the US will have to settle for the QN90A, which doesn’t come with the One Connect box. Still, it’s a strong choice to hang on your wall.

2. LG G1 Gallery Series A premium OLED TV that reaches for the light Specifications Screen size: 55 inch, 65 inch, 77 inch Resolution: 4K Panel type: OLED Smart TV: webOS HDR: HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision Reasons to buy + Exceptionally thin + Great for gamers Reasons to avoid – Bass issues – Slightly glare screen

How well does the LG G1 Gallery series OLED TV hang on the wall? Well, it doesn’t come with feet – which is saying a lot. But when you realize that it’s actually less than 20mm deep, it’s almost mandatory to hang the G1 on the wall anyway – which is probably why LG decided on the name “Gallery Series” from the start.

The G1 is almost partially hung on the wall. It’s a more reflective screen than some, though, so be careful which piece of wall you put it on – because after that, all the news is good.

The images are bright, detailed, rich in contrast and describe movement really well. There’s a full range of next-gen console compatibility on board, the sound is on the right side of passable (although low frequencies do stray a little), and the screen’s capabilities are so impressive that you’ll quickly ignore the well-designed will be outside one way or another.

3. Samsung The Frame The most stylish TV out there? Specifications Screen size: 32, 43, 50, 55, 65, 75 inches Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (32 inches), 4K (43-75 inches) Screen type: LCD Smart TV: Tizen HDR: HLG, HDR10, HDR10+ Specifications Screen size 32 Inches – 65 Inches Color Black Brown White HDR HDR Read more ▼ Today’s Best Deals See at Walmart (opens in new tab) See at Best Buy (opens in new tab) See at Amazon (opens in new tab opened tab) Buying arguments + Very decorative + Off-board connection box Reasons to avoid – Not the brightest pictures – No Dolby Vision

What happens when designers start on a TV before engineers? The framework is what happens. Here’s a TV designed to look good on the wall even when it’s not on.

So you get a massive range of screen sizes, an almost equally wide range of different colored bezels that are easy to swap out, and a wide range of artwork, wallpapers and screensavers for the TV to display despite not being a TV. Your own selection of photos will even be displayed if you wish.

Since the engineers didn’t get there first, The Frame is a good TV rather than a great one. Its images aren’t the brightest and its color balance isn’t the most natural you’ve seen. But it’s still good to look at, with lots of detail in the images and nice, stable motion control. In Tizen, it has one of the better operating systems. But most importantly, it’s the only screen here that looks really good when it’s off.

4. Philips OLED 805 (UK) OLED plus Ambilight is one of the best TVs out there Specs Screen size: 55-inch, 65-inch Resolution: 4K Screen type: OLED Smart TV: Android TV HDR: HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ Reasons to buy + Exceptional Ambilight capability + All HDR standards Reasons to avoid – Not the thinnest – Can be cumbersome to set up

There are very few USPs (Unique Selling Points) in the TV market – but Philips certainly has one, and it’s one that really lends itself to wall-mounting your TV. We are of course talking about Ambilight.

The OLED 805 has a row of LEDs on the back that shine light onto the wall – either to replicate the colors on the screen or to create a set tonal background. It sounds like a gimmick, but it works great – images appear larger than they are, the sense of immersion is greater, and eye strain is reduced. It’s an all round win.

Elsewhere, the Philips vacillates between “good” and “great”. At 58mm it’s far from the thinnest screen here, although it’s not the worst out there either. Its image quality (once you’ve set it up to your satisfaction) is great, with contrast, motion handling, and detail levels all impressive. Having every HDR format on board should be standard but isn’t elsewhere – so that’s another thing for Philips.

5. Hisense A7200 Roku TV (UK) A cheap 4K HDR TV with some compromises Specs Screen size: 43, 50, 55, 65 inches Resolution: 4K Panel type: LCD Smart TV: Buy Roku TV HDR: HLG, HDR10 + Amazingly cheap + Great Roku Smart TV interface Reasons to avoid – Sound is monotonous – May struggle with upscaling

Somehow, Hisense manages to match parts of the performance of far more expensive options, while asking for a fraction of the price. Keep that fact in mind and the A7200G makes a lot of sense.

These aren’t the brightest images you’ll ever see, and in a screen that’s over 8cm deep, they come from one of the chunkier chassis currently being made. But weigh that against the very stable, coherent and compelling 4K pictures it can deliver, the high contrasts it’s capable of despite the relatively low peak brightness, and then also consider the excellent Roku Smart TV performance Interface. And then check the price again, because you can’t hang a nice new television on the wall cheaper.

Q. I have a large plasma screen on a TV wall mount that slides out from the wall and can be angled. If I replace my old TV, is its wall mount compatible with a new one? Is there a universal standard for connection accessories? – David Sawyer, Wilmington, NC

A. Most new televisions are VESA compliant, which means they meet the guidelines of the Video Electronics Standards Association. That means they meet standards for features like the mounting holes on the back. (A VESA 75×75 means the holes are 75 millimeters apart horizontally and 75 millimeters vertically.) After removing your old TV, measure the distances between the holes. Then check the manuals for the new TVs you’re planning to buy for the VESA standard to see if your old TV wall mount is compatible. If it doesn’t (or if the new unit is a lot heavier) then you probably need a new TV wall mount.

What is the VESA standard?

The VESA mounting standard defines the dimensions of the four-hole mounting interface on the back of displays and the screws used to fit these holes. It also determines the placement of the hole pattern on the display. For attachment to VESA mounts, the hole pattern should ideally be centered on the back of a display. A centrally positioned pattern minimizes the torque forces applied to the bracket and allows it to hold a heavier load. Ergotron offers a full line of monitor mounts designed to VESA’s Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI) Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). When choosing a display, look for VESA compliance for easy attachment to any Ergotron monitor wall mount, desk mount, or computer cart. Is your monitor VESA compatible?

Today’s flat panel displays commonly use three variants of the standard… VESA MIS-D, 100/75, C compliant displays come with either a 100 x 100mm or 75 x 75mm square hole pattern, using M4 screws to attach the bracket become the display. This is the most common interface for monitors weighing less than 14 kg; Small televisions and computer monitors usually have the MIS-D interface. Ergotron stocks a comprehensive range of MIS-D compatible VESA mounts.

B. 400 x 200 mm and 600 x 400 mm are both MIS-F hole patterns). M6 or M8 screws are used to attach the bracket to the display. Heavier televisions with screens larger than 31″ often follow this variant. In practice, some displays in this class deviate slightly from the standard. For example, a hole pattern of 300 x 300 mm is not uncommon. This is why Ergotron VESA mounts are for MIS-F displays designed to handle irregular hole patterns -E or MIS-F hole patterns, a custom adapter interface may be available. Contact the monitor manufacturer or Ergotron to see if this option is available. If no adapter is available , the display cannot be attached to VESA-compatible mounting solutions.

Attaching Apple displays to VESA mounts

Most Apple displays are not VESA compatible. To attach a non-VESA compliant Apple display to a VESA mount, you may need an adapter mount. Apple offers iMac computers with a built-in VESA interface. However, most iMac models from late 2012 to present cannot be retrofitted with a VESA interface – the built-in VESA interface is only available at the time of purchase. If a VESA adapter is not available, use a custom adapter mount. Update: Apple’s iMac Pro is now offered with the option of a VESA interface accessory, which allows the computer to be retrofitted to attach to a VESA mount. Apple VESA adapter

Ergotron and the establishment of the VESA standard

In 1996, Ergotron founder Harry Sweere traveled extensively to meet industry leaders around the world to lay the groundwork for the first Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mounting standard. As a group leader of the committee, the first VESA FPMPMI mounting interface standard was published in 1997. He then became the lead author of the revised and current VESA standard called FDMI, which was introduced in 2002. A true visionary, Harry saw the need for a universal mounting interface on the back of flat panel displays and televisions that would allow people to easily and inexpensively attach displays to ergonomic, articulating monitor mounts.

4 mounting bolts on the back. Looks like 1/4-20. But no, the TV does not come with screws. You can find them in with bracket.

Reply from Ross

Mounting your TV on the wall is not only a great way to save space, but it also looks nice and clean. However, there’s a little more to it than just buying a wall mount and screwing in your TV. Here are a few things you should know when it comes to wall mounting your TV.

Decide where you want to mount your TV

First of all, you need to figure out exactly where you want to place your TV. This is ultimately up to you, but there are a few rules of thumb to keep in mind.

The most important rule is to mount your TV at eye level where you will be able to see it. This usually means the bottom of the TV is about 2 to 3 feet off the ground, plus or minus a few inches.

Many people mount their TV high above a fireplace or bookshelf, but that’s usually a bad idea as you’re craning your neck up to see your TV, which can be very uncomfortable if you’re doing this for long periods of time. The only exception is the bedroom, where you might want to lie down and watch TV at the same time – mounting the TV higher on the ceiling is great for this, as you would need to tilt your head forward just as much.

Get the right mount type and size

There are generally two types of wall mounts that you will come across. The first is an articulating mount meant for smaller TVs and usually has an arm with a couple of joints that allow you to pull the TV out of the wall and rotate it in almost any direction.

Again, these mounts are usually designed for smaller, lighter TVs, as they typically only mount to a single point on the wall, although you can sometimes find articulating mounts for larger TVs that can mount to multiple points on the wall.

The second type of TV wall mount is also the most common, known as a tilting mount. These allow you to mount your TV in multiple locations on the wall – sometimes as many as six – so are great for larger, heavier TVs.

The only downside is that you can’t pan the TV from side to side – you can only tilt it up or down, and even then you can only tilt it a few degrees. But if you mount it at eye level right in front of the couch, you don’t need big articulation features anyway.

Once you’ve decided on the type of mount you want, you also need to make sure it fits your TV’s mounting holes. All modern TVs are VESA mount compatible, which simply means they conform to the Video Electronics Standards Association mounting standard used by pretty much every TV mount on the market.

TVs have different mounting holes, however, so it’s important to find the right size bracket that fits your specific TV. Luckily, thanks to the VESA standard, figuring out what size mount you need is really easy.

If you look at the back of your TV you will see four screw holes forming a square. Simply measure the distance between two of these screw holes (not diagonally) in millimeters. So if the distance is 400 millimeters, you need a VESA 400 mount (or sometimes referred to as VESA 400×400). Luckily, most tilting mounts are compatible with pretty much any size VESA mount, but it’s always a good idea to check before you buy.

Mount it correctly

Now that you have the TV wall mount, you’re ready to start assembling it – but you can’t just pick a random spot and start screwing it in. TVs and the brackets themselves are heavy, so you need to make sure you mount your TV properly so it doesn’t fall off right after installation.

RELATED: The Essential Tools Every Home Improver Should Own

For maximum holding power, you’ll need to screw the TV mount into the wall studs – if you just mount it to the drywall, you’re bound to do a lot of damage, since the drywall isn’t actually that strong.

Get a stud locator and use it to locate the studs behind the drywall. The studs are placed every 16 inches on center so you should be able to mount your TV on two studs if you are using a tilting mount, sometimes three studs if you have a larger TV and bracket.

From there, place the TV mount where you want it (get a second person to help) and use a pencil to mark where you need to screw it into the wall, making sure there are bolts in those locations are.

However, before you screw in the TV mount, you need to drill pilot holes that prevent the bolts from splitting when the screws are screwed in. Also, if the mount uses thicker screws or bolts, it’s almost impossible to drive it in without drilling pilot holes. Remember that the drill bit for the pilot hole only needs to be slightly smaller than the width of the screw.

Once you have drilled your pilot holes, you can now position the TV mount on the wall and drive in the screws or bolts using a drill or socket wrench (depending on the type of screws or bolts used). Instructions will likely come with your TV mount, so check them carefully if you’re unsure about anything.

After placing the bracket on the wall, all you have to do is attach the brackets to your TV using the four screw holes on the back of the TV, and then attach them to the wall bracket.

Hide the cables

Once you’ve mounted your TV, you can either call it quits or take the time to hide all those cables that are now hanging on your wall. You have a few options to do this.

The best option is to install a special kit that more or less creates an extension cord behind the wall with a regulation electrical wire, as well as a special conduit for passing other cords through. This allows you to plug in the TV exactly where the mount is, and the rest of the cables are routed near the baseboard, where you can then connect the cables to the appropriate devices. (You could just drill two holes in the wall and run the cables through them, but that’s against the code.)

To install something like this, however, you’ll need to cut a hole in your wall and have a little electrical know-how. So if you’re not quite sure what to do, get an electrician to do it for you, or get advice from a professional friend who can help.

If you’d rather not drill huge holes in your wall, the easiest method is to get some cable-hiding material that you simply screw to the wall and run all the cables through.

It won’t hide the cords completely, but it will look a lot cleaner than just letting the cords dangle.

Ultimately, mounting a TV on the wall isn’t all that difficult and I highly recommend it if your home can do it, but there are just a few things you need to keep in mind in order to mount your TV the right way and let it look good.

This question is often asked of our TV mounting experts – Can a TV be too heavy to mount on the wall –

The answer is no. There are mounts for all TV sizes and weights.

However, the wall you plan to mount your TV on may not be strong enough to hold it. That’s why it’s best to have your wall inspected by an expert and have the job done professionally. Wall mounting a TV can go horribly wrong in inexperienced hands, resulting in damage to walls, the new TV, electrical wiring and often people too!

There are so many different types of mounts, from flush wall mount to swivel to ceiling mount. So it’s best to speak to your local expert first to find the optimal placement and mount for your needs.

Steve from Jim’s Antennas in Heathmont installed a 75 inch TV for a client who had just moved into a new home. He tucked the Samsung One Connect cable into the cavity, turned on the TV, and made sure the WiFi was connected.

For this job, Steve supplied and installed a Selby mount – these high quality mounts offer security and durability and will give your flat screen or monitor the shine it deserves. Some mounts are tiltable, such as B. Swivel mounts to provide multiple viewing angles. Our team can help you decide which mount is best for your TV and wall.

Where can I find my VESA size?

You can refer to the specs in the product manual, but perhaps the quickest and easiest way to find out your TV’s VESA size is simply by measuring it. Locate the four holes on the back of your TV, you just need to measure them left to right and top to bottom. By now you should know the horizontal and vertical distance between the holes and therefore the VESA size of your TV.

A visual example shows you where to measure:

Keyword: TV wall mount for 37-70 inch TVs

Wall mount any TV from 37″ to 70″ in height with this mount. Choose from fixed, full articulation, tilt and ceiling TV mounts. These units feature universal hole patterns so any flat panel display within the specified size range will fit. Your 42, 46, 48, 49, 50, 52, 55, 58, 60, 63, 65, 75 inch TV screens will work with this wall mount.

Finding the VESA size of your TV

In most cases, you can find your TV’s VESA standard size in the user manual or on the manufacturer’s website. If all else fails, you can easily measure it yourself by following these three simple steps:

In most cases, you can find your TV’s VESA standard size in the user manual or on the manufacturer’s website. If all else fails, you can easily measure it yourself by following these three simple steps:

Measure the horizontal distance between the centers of the left and right holes. This gives you the first measurement. Measure the vertical distance between the centers of the top and bottom holes. This will give you the second measurement. If you measure in inches, convert to millimeters (1 inch = 25.4mm)

VESA specifications are usually displayed in millimeters and are read in order of horizontal measurement followed by vertical measurement. For example, if the distance between your TV’s mounting holes is 400mm wide and 200mm high, your VESA size will show as 400×200.

All TV mounts for LCD based TVs have the stated maximum size they support.

Because all TVs of a certain size weigh about the same in pounds.

And have a specified number of mounting bolts on the panel or fixture calculated to take the weight.

The distance also varies where the TV is attached to the back plate intended for mounting the LCD on the bracket.

If you are purchasing a mount designed for an LCD with a maximum size of 32″ or 43″.

Will tear the bracket right off the wall as more fixing points or screw points are required.

And four holes on the plate for mounting the 43 inch TV you want to use won’t attach to the mount plate because the distance between the four mounting holes is less by about an inch or so.

For one TV size, the distances between the TV’s four mounting holes and the main pole are different.

You won’t be able to attach the TV to the bracket no matter how hard you try.

You will need a wall mount or bracket for a 42 inch LCD TV if this is the case.

Measure the distance of the four holes on the back plate to those on the back of the LCD TV to verify the enclosure is in place.

It also depends on the type of wall you want to attach the TV mount to.

A solid brick wall with dowels is fine.

But a studded wall, if you don’t locate the battens and screw the mounting plate to them, the wall mount can simply snap off the wall due to too much weight when trying to use a 43-inch TV on a mount that for a 32 inch LCD TV in weight.
