While VESA standard mountings were defined by the display industry to create a practical system of materials and measurements, more and more designers are finding ways to integrate their displays in unique and elegant ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most familiar mounting option to industrial consumers is the VESA standard. The VESA standard is commonly seen as the 4-hole pattern that can be found (for example) on the back of many commercial LCD TVs. However, the VESA standard also includes specifications for edge-mount displays, as well as off-center configurations.&nbsp; VESA is the mounting option used most often by display manufactures and allows the near universality of the various wall hangers, swing arms, and desktop stands available on the market. The VESA mounting option considers the display\u2019s size and weight to determine the overall dimensions of the bolt pattern, as well as the size and thread depth of the required bolts. &nbsp;Using these measurements and materials ensures the safe application of a display to its mount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table has-subtle-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-regular\"><thead><tr><td>\n   <strong>VESA Standard<\/strong>\n   <\/td><td>\n   <strong>Hole Pattern<\/strong>\n   <\/td><td>\n   <strong>Screw Size<\/strong>\n   <\/td><td>\n   <strong>Monitor Weight<\/strong>\n   <\/td><td>\n   <strong>Screen Size<\/strong>\n   <\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>\n  FDMI MIS-B\n  <\/td><td>\n  50 x 20 mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  M4 x 6&nbsp;mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  \u2264 4.4 lbs \/ \u2264 2 kg\n  <\/td><td>\n  4&#8243; to 7.9&#8243;\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  FDMI MIS-C\n  <\/td><td>\n  75 x 35 mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  M4 x 8&nbsp;mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  \u2264 10 lbs \/ \u2264 4.5 kg\n  <\/td><td>\n  8&#8243; to 11.9&#8243;\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  FDMI MIS-D\n  <\/td><td>\n  75 x 75 or 100&nbsp;x&nbsp;100&nbsp;mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  M4 x 10&nbsp;mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  \u2264 30.8 lbs \/ \u2264 14 kg\n  <\/td><td>\n  12&#8243; to 23.9&#8243;\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  FDMI MIS-E\n  <\/td><td>\n  200 x 100 mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  M4 x 10&nbsp;mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  \u2264 50 lbs \/ \u2264 23.7 kg\n  <\/td><td>\n  24&#8243; to 30.9&#8243;\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  FDMI MIS-F\n  <\/td><td>\n  200 mm increments\n  <\/td><td>\n  M6 x 8&nbsp;mm or 10&nbsp;mm;<br>\n  M8 x 15&nbsp;mm\n  <\/td><td>\n  \u2264 250 lbs \/ \u2264 113.6 kg\n  <\/td><td>\n  \u2265 31&#8243;\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"491\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.agdisplays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"The back of a flat-panel display monitor, showing the mounting holes and various features.

Displays for applications like HMI (Human Machine Interface) control are often limited by size restrictions, material cost, or aesthetic limitations. One common design, termed \u201cPanel Mount,\u201d is a mounting method in which a display is mounted flush with the exterior of the enclosure it is allotted. To do this, high-bond adhesives like 3M VHB are often applied to the LCD directly and then adhered the opening point of the enclosure. Some of the benefits of using an adhesive, or tape bond, type of mount are: weatherproof durability \u2013 high-bond tape is minimally affected by moisture and direct sunlight; vibration resistance \u2013 the flexible nature of the tape allows for vibration absorption; and stress distribution \u2013 a perimeter bond evenly distributes weight around the edges of the mount. Adhesive bonds also eliminate the need for drilling and allow the mating of dissimilar materials such as glass to metal, or plastic to wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other designs may include custom frames and bezels that hide mounting points by blending them into the surrounding structure, or glass overhangs which are bonded to the display and can be recessed into the opening. AGDisplays\u2019 engineers frequently create custom metalwork that is unique the individual LCD and application. To do this AGDisplays works hand in hand with our customers to ensure we understand fully their design challenges, as well as to offer our experience creating custom display mounting options across multiple industries.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.agdisplays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-1.png\" alt=\"A close-up, angled shot of the internal components of a display assembly.

Many AGDisplays designs call for extra included electronics like LED controllers, touchscreen controllers, and cables, as well as single board computers like the Raspberry Pi. These types of components are generally mounted on the rear of the display using either mechanical standoffs, or adhesive high-bond material. Considering factors like potential electromagnetic interference, and the application environment, AGDisplays mounts components in logical and functional patterns. Even so, component mounting options are occasionally limited by cable length and available space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"436\" height=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.agdisplays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-2.png\" alt=\"The back of a ruggedized industrial display.
