COMPATIBILITY
Chief mounts are compatible with virtually every flat panel television (TV) on the market. TV manufacturers use the
following two different methods when designing the back of their TVs so they can be mounted.
VESA ®
The first is called VESA. This dictates the exact
placement of the holes on the back of the TV that
the mount attaches to. Typically, LCD flat panel TVs
follow this standard. There are several sizes of TVs
and mounts within the VESA standards (75 mm x 75
mm; 100 mm x 100 mm; etc). When purchasing a
TV that follows VESA guidelines, it is important to
choose a mount that uses the same VESA standard
as the TV. The other critical element in choosing the
right mount is to compare the weight of the TV to
the weight rating of the mount to ensure the mount
can hold the weight of the TV.

RANDOM
The second method is used by TV manufacturers who
do not follow the VESA standards. Instead they place
their mounting holes on the back of their TV in random
places, wherever it is easiest for them to engineer. For
these TVs, Chief makes “universal” mounts. This
means that there are brackets that can be adjusted
back and forth to properly align the many mounting
holes. When mounting a TV with a
random hole pattern, in addition

to choosing a “universal” mount,
it is critical to also compare the
weight of the TV to the weight
rating of the mount.
