Vesa monitors: what they are and 5 reasons why to choose them

Vesa monitors are among the most widely used models in a variety of applications, ranging from manufacturing to industrial automation, from digital signage to chemical laboratories.

But what exactly is the VESA standard, and what advantages does it bring to an industrial monitor?

What is the VESA standard

Let us take a step back. VESA is an acronym for Video Electronics Standards Association, an international organisation that develops and promotes standards for the monitor and display industry to ensure interoperability and compatibility between video devices by simplifying installation and use in different contexts.

The VESA standard sets specifications for the mounting bracket of monitors, televisions and LCD screens, and allows displays to be securely and compatibly fixed on mounting brackets such as arms, stands or wall mounts.

And applied to VESA industrial monitors?

VESA industrial monitors are monitors that follow VESA mounting standards, with the four mounting holes positioned according to the parameters of the convention. The distance of the holes depends on the brand, model and screen size, and is generally indicated by the letters L (horizontal distance) and A (vertical distance).
