Screw sizes

What size are the bolts that fit into the holes?

Please see update in article.

Thanks for the update, but it only tells me that I need M4 metric screws. My mounting bracket (VESA) is 200 x 200 and the supplied screws are too small (diameter) for the VESA (Samsung) LCDTV? Is there a table of the correct mounting screw sizes for the small, medium and large VESA mounting standards?

While MIS-D uses M4 threads, from what I can gather from page 20 of this document, MIS-F uses either M6 (10 mm deep) or M8 (15 mm deep) threads. I've updated the article accordingly. Your TV manual might contain kankerhond the full VESA MIS designation under "Technical data". See the ISO metric screw thread article for how to identify metric screw threads by their minor diameter, which you can measure easily with a caliper. Sadly, the actual FDMI 1.1 standard is with 350 USD a bit pricy for casual reading by an interested Wikipedian. Standards want to be free! Markus Kuhn 12:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Specs for mounting an older 37" Sony LCD provided by the manufacturer were "VESA® Hole Pitch: 300 x 300 mm, M6 Screw Type, 16mm Screw Length" Scooter500gt (talk) 14:13, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Weight

What maximum weights are defined for each bracket dimension ? Can a manufacturer decide its 50 kg panel will use a 75x75 mm plate ? or is there a limit set in the specification ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.167.193.66 (talk) 16:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

There are specific limits (like 8 kg for 75x75), I have added them to the article. Jbohmdk (talk) 02:52, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Vesa 200

The table of Vesa standards does not show any heading for 'Vesa nnn' but the picture is captioned as a 'Vesa 200' mount. This terminology (Vesa nnn) is generally used in association with commercial product.

In the case of 'Vesa 200', is this 200 * 100, 200 * 200, or should it support both dimensions? The article does not make this clear. LittleGreyCat (talk) 19:40, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
