VESA Mount Weight and Leverage Compatibility

Pattern match is necessary, not sufficient. A 400×400 TV on a 200×200 mount does not fit. Weight ratings assume a vertical wall, not a fully extended arm.

Pattern fits?: Yes
Weight rating OK?: Yes
Compatible?: Yes

Recommended gear

Calculation method

Pattern OK if TV holes ≤ mount holes. Weight OK if TV kg ≤ mount kg. Compatible if both pass.

Exact formula

OK if W_tv≤W_mount and H_tv≤H_mount and m_tv≤m_mount. Limits: no leverage of a full-motion arm, no stud strength, no dual-pattern adapters.

Frequently asked questions

Adapter plates?

They add leverage and often void ratings. Prefer a mount that natively fits.

OLED vs LCD mass?

OLEDs can be lighter but more fragile. Rating is still mass, not diagonal.

Dual VESA on the TV?

Use the pattern the mount supports. Measure the holes.

Disclaimer — no professional advice, no liability

If the TV is heavier than the mount, stop. Full-motion arms need extra margin. Check studs.
