VESA stands for Video Electronics Standards Association and represents the standardized dimensions for TV mounts. When you see a TV mount labeled with a VESA specification, it refers to the horizontal and vertical distance (in millimeters) between the mounting holes on the back of the TV. For example, a VESA 200x200 means the holes are 200mm apart. Make sure your mount and TV are VESA-compatible to ensure a proper fit.
