Monitor Interface & VESA

Standard Guide

The VESA

®

FDMI

™

Standard* defines mounting interfaces, hole patterns, and associated cable/power

supply locations for LCD monitors, plasma displays and other flat panel devices. Ergotron Flat Panel
Mounting Solutions are designed to fit this standard to make monitor attachment quick and easy. 

Oftentimes a monitor’s hole pattern is revealed by removing its base (refer to your monitor’s
manual for details). Contact Ergotron at 800-888-8458 (option 2) or visit www.ergotron.com and
select the Compatible Monitor Tool under Resources to verify that your monitor is VESA FDMI
Standard compliant.

compliant monitors are equipped with either a 75 x 75 mm or 100 x 100 mm

mounting hole pattern. Ergotron Mounting Solutions attach directly to these monitors. Note: This is the
most common interface.

compliant monitors are equipped with a 200 x 100 mm mounting hole pattern. Larger

LCD monitors may use this interface. Ergotron HD45 Arms and HD Pivots attach to these monitors
using the 200 x 100 mm Adapter Plate Kit (ordered separately, see page 47). The Ergotron FX75 and
FXT75 will attach directly to this interface.

compliant monitors have varied hole patterns that are spaced in 200 mm increments

(e.g., 400 x 200 mm and 600 x 400 mm are examples of VESA MIS-F compliant configurations).
Larger LCD and plasma displays could follow this standard. See page 33 for Mounting Solutions.

Monitors that conform to the VESA Standard bolt directly to Ergotron Mounting Solutions. Ergotron
provides (4) 4 mm x 10 mm screws for VESA MIS-D, 100/75 interface monitor attachment. For VESA
MIS-E, C interface attachment, Ergotron supplies (6) 4 mm x 10 mm screws. For VESA MIS-F, C
interface display attachment, Ergotron supplies 6 mm x 25 mm screws. The number of screws
provided will depend on the size of the interface bracket. Your monitor may require different screws,
which may be provided by the monitor manufacturer.

If your monitor does not include a VESA FDMI Standard mounting hole pattern, a separately-ordered
custom adapter bracket may be available. Contact the monitor manufacturer to see if they have this
option available. If it is not available from the monitor manufacturer, Ergotron has developed a
number of custom adapter brackets to interface with existing flat panel monitors. Contact Ergotron
at 800-888-8458 (option 2) to see if one is available for your monitor.
