Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Can I install these mounts on drywall without wood studs?

  For medium-to-large displays, mounting directly into wood studs, concrete, or masonry is strongly advised for structural safety. Heavy-duty toggle anchors may be used for lighter screens on verified wall types.

• What is a VESA pattern and how do I measure it?

  VESA refers to the distance (in millimeters) between the four mounting holes on the back of your television (e.g., 400×400 mm). You can find this in your display manual or by measuring the horizontal and vertical distance between the holes.

• Do I need a full-motion mount?

  If you need to swivel your display toward different seating areas, tilt it to reduce glare, or pull it away from the wall to access rear ports, choose a full-motion mount. If your seating is fixed directly in front of the screen, a fixed or tilt mount is sufficient.

• Are these mounts compatible with major TV brands?

  Yes. Compatibility depends on your screen’s weight, size, and VESA pattern, not the display brand.
