How do I know which mount is compatible with my device?
To determine mount compatibility, check the device's VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) pattern, which indicates the distance between mounting holes on the back of the device. Compare this pattern with the mount's specifications. Additionally, consider the device's weight and the mount's weight capacity.
To simplify this process and find a compatible mount, use our MountFinder.
Do all projectors have mounting holes?
Most modern projectors come with mounting holes that conform to standard patterns, allowing them to be attached to universal projector mounts. However, checking the projector's specifications is essential to ensure compatibility.
Are LED wall mounts safe?
Yes, LED wall mounts are designed to be safe and secure. When properly installed following the manufacturer's guidelines, they can safely hold the weight of LED screens. Always ensure the wall and mounting hardware suit the screen's size and weight.
What are the benefits of AV mounts?
AV mounts offer several advantages:
- Space Saving: AV mounts free up floor space by mounting equipment on walls or ceilings.
- Improved Viewing Angles: AV mounts position screens and projectors for optimal viewing.
- Safety: AV mounts securely hold devices to prevent accidental falls or damage.
