Digital Signage Mounts and Stands

Weight, VESA pattern and screen size range

Three numbers decide whether a mount fits. The mount's load rating must exceed your display's weight, plus any plug-in computer or media player. The VESA pattern, the spacing of the four mounting holes on the display's back, must match the mount. And the listed screen-size range, such as 37 to 80 inches, should include yours. Some stands and wall mounts are made for one manufacturer's display series, so check the model list. Make sure the wall can carry the load.

Wall, floor, cart or kiosk stand?

A fixed or ultra-slim wall mount keeps a screen flat and tidy, while a rotating mount lets one panel run in portrait or landscape. Floor stands avoid drilling and put a display in an open area, and kiosk stands suit VESA displays at counter height. Mobile carts have casters for classrooms and event rooms, so look for locking wheels and a wide, stable base. Whichever you choose, aim to put the middle of the screen near eye level for your main viewers.

Questions about Digital Signage Mounts and Stands

How do I know a mount will fit my display?

Check three things: the VESA hole pattern, the mount's maximum weight and the screen-size range. Your display's manual or specification page lists the VESA pattern and weight. If the mount is built for one series, check your model is named.

Can I mount a commercial display in portrait?

Only if the display is rated for portrait use, because cooling and internal parts are designed for a specific orientation. Then choose a mount that rotates or fixes in portrait. Check the display manual first.

Is a floor stand safer than a wall mount?

Neither is safer by default. A wall mount needs a wall that can carry the load and the right fixings. A floor stand needs a wide, stable base, and a cart needs locking casters. Follow the weight rating and fitting guide for either.
