Ensure your TV and wall mount are compatible

TV and wall mount compatibility depends on the TV's weight, size, and VESA standard. Wall mount product details clearly state the supported screen sizes and weight limits. If you're buying a mount along with a new TV, comparing the specifications is straightforward.

If you're buying a mount for a TV you already own, finding the necessary specs might take a bit more effort depending on its age. Information for newer models is easily found online, but for older TVs, you may need to measure the screen size and VESA pattern and weigh the TV yourself. Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner, excluding the bezels, and is expressed in inches.
