To determine if your TV is compatible with a mount, check for the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) holes on the back of your TV, which is a standard for mounting. Measure the horizontal and vertical distance (in mm) between these holes. Then, ensure your chosen mount supports this VESA size. Also, check the TV's weight against the mount’s weight capacity to ensure safety.
