manual abstract
Do not throw out the security screws because you will need them later in the installation process. Select the location where you want to mount the TV. Clear the area of all furniture and electronics. You will need some elbow room to mount the TV. You also want to make sure that your electronic devices are unplugged, covered, and out of way because you are about to start drilling holes, and that is likely to make dust. You will also need to leave space that you can use to mount the monitor plate onto the TV. Your TV may have come with a stand installed. If it did, it is okay to leave it on for now as long as it does not interfere with the monitor plate installation. If not, you need to determine the best way to hold or rest your TV safely so you can attach the monitor plate. Placing the TV face-down can damage the fragile screen or decorative frame. You may want to get a friend to assist you in holding the TV. If you are uncertain of the safest way to do this, call the TV manufacturer for advice. SS Step 1: Attaching the Monitor Plate Your TV owner’s manual generally explains where the mounting location is on the TV. There are several typical mounting configurations for this size bracket. The mounting hole distances are measured in millimeters per the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) specifications. Table 1 lists the inch and millimeter equivalents just in case you have to measure them. Use a tape measure to check the distances between the horizontal and vertical mounting holes. If your mounting hole configuration is a Standard for this mount, as listed in Table 1, you’re ready for the next step. If your hole configuration requires our For Dummies Adapter #8190 or other UL Listed adapters intended to be used with this mount (sold separately, visit for other options), please refer to the instructions with that adapter for connecting the adapter to the monitor plate. Table 1: Standard Monitor Mounting Configurations Standard Standard Adapter 8190 Adapter 8190 Adapter 8190 English Who is VESA? The Video Electronics Standards Association is an international nonprofit organization representing hardware, software, PC, display, and component manufacturers, cable and telephone companies, and service providers. VESA supports and sets industry-wide interface standards for the PC, workstation, and computing environments. Choosing which screws to use You’re probably wondering why so many screws came with this mount. The screw sizes follow the standards set up by VESA for each mounting configuration. Most monitors have the mounting holes flush with the back of the monitor. If yours is like this, use the short 12mm TV Mounting Screws (A or G) as shown in Figure 2. Make sure that the Washers (F) are placed between the screw and the Monitor Plate (MP). Don’t place the washers between the monitor plate and the TV. Don’t use screws that are too long because they will not fully seat in the holes and can permanently damage the TV or mounting holes and cause the monitor to come loose. DETAILED VIEW Back of TV F A or G MP Figure 2 English Some monitors have mounting holes that are recessed. This kit includes longer Mounting Screws (Parts B, C, H & I) and Spacers (Parts D & E) for this configuration. The spacers are used to take up the space in the recessed hole as shown in Figure 3. The spacer you select must stick out past the back of the TV to ensure proper mounting. You don’t want the spacer to be loose. The Monitor Plate (MP) needs to rest securely on the spacers.

Using an electronic stud finder works best because it gives you an indication of where the right and left sides of the stud are. After you determine the stud location, mark the right and left side of the stud as shown in Figure 4. These markings help you determine the center location of the stud for proper drilling. Line up the Installation Template (IT) with your pencil markings and tape it into place. Wood Stud Figure 4 English Determining the location of the TV After the Monitor Plate (MP) has been mounted to the TV, you can now measure the distance from the bracket holes to the top and bottom of the TV to help determine the desired height of the TV on your wall. The reason that you need to take these measurements is because many monitors do not have the mounting location centered on the back of the monitor. To determine the exact height you want to mount the brackets, use the convenient Installation Template (IT) rather than holding the TV in place while you do all this measuring. Always make sure to use a level when placing the template. Measure from the floor up as shown in Figure 5, and using a pencil, make small marks on the wall to help yo...
