VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association)

VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) sets video and display standards; for displays it usually means the VESA mounting hole pattern, e.g. 100×100 mm.

Also known as: VESA mount, VESA MIS, VESA 100x100, VESA pattern

VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) is an international standards organization that develops specifications for video devices and displays. Its standards include resolution formats, video interfaces (such as DisplayPort), and mounting systems.

In the context of displays, VESA most often refers to the Mounting Interface Standard (MIS), which defines the arrangement of mounting holes on the back of displays and monitors. Dimensions are given in millimeters (e.g., VESA 100×100, VESA 200×200), with the appropriate standard selected based on screen size and weight. VESA compliance ensures compatibility with wall mounts, arms, stands, and industrial enclosures, simplifying installation and integration.
