All You Need to Know About Maclocks’ VESA Mount for Tablets, TV, and Monitors
The VESA Mount – Everything You Need to Know
Maybe you’ve never wondered how your TV or monitor can effortlessly tilt, swivel or turn, but it’s all thanks to a nifty little fixture called a VESA mount.
VESA mounts (for monitors, walls or any other fixed surface) are the international standards used for all display mounting systems, allowing you to hang the monitor on a wall or a stand, move your device’s screen, while keeping it fully secured to a vertical or horizontal surface.
Maclocks’ VESA mounts are 100/75 mm, and are the perfect solution for tablets and monitors around 20 inches.
What’s the VESA Standard Mount?
VESA standard mounts allow you to quickly, easily and cost effectively mount your display devices onto surfaces, all the while allowing you flexible, ergonomic viewing and use.
The ‘VESA standard’ refers to the dimensions of the four-hole attachment interface on the back of your display device, with the pattern on the display and the VESA standard mount matching up perfectly. That means, no matter the display device, you’ll be able to buy a VESA mount with full confidence that it will fit!
VESA Mount Patterns and Sizes
VESA mount sizes can be determined based on the size of your Tablet, TV or monitor.
Since VESA standard mounts come in sizes of either 100 x 100 (for tablets), 200 x 200 (for TVs and monitors up to 32 inches), 400 x 400 (for TVs and monitors up to 60 inches) and 600 x 400 (for TVs over 60 inches), all you need to do to work out the VESA mount stand you need is to measure your TV or monitor.
How to Determine the VESA Mount Size you Need
Working out the size of the VESA mount for monitors, or a suitable VESA mount for TV is very straightforward.
First, you need to find the 4 holes on the back of your tablet enclosure, TV or monitor. Then, you need to measure the distance between the holes, both horizontally and vertically. From there, you’ll be able to know the size of the VESA mount you need to buy.
So, if your tablet enclosure has holes 100 mm horizontally apart, and 100 mm vertically, the correct VESA mount for the tablet enclosure that you’ll need to buy is 100 x 100 mm.
What Can I Connect to a VESA Mount?
Pretty much anything and everything over a certain size!
Maclocks has a solid range of VESA mount wall adapters and more, including for Apple TV devices, and for Mac Minis.

How to Attach Apple Displays to VESA Mounts
Each of the above VESA mount products have one thing in common, other than their VESA mounting abilities: they’re all universal tablet solutions, designed for any and every size and brand of tablet on the market.
That’s not to say that Apple products can’t be fixed to a VESA wall mount or stand; it just means that you’ll need to buy an adapter for your Apple device, before attaching the VESA mount, as you would with other brands – having an enclosure with the VESA inlet to attach to a stand.
Having said that, Maclocks’ range of Apple-specific VESA enclosures for iPads are plentiful, with a range of options for every need and use!
