Anchor types and size of monitor
He General VESA It defines all anchorage parameters, both the separation of holes to be used with the monitor and scale size, as well as the maximum weight and maximum screen size not supported by each of them. A common thing for PC monitors is that they have the VESA 100 even though the screens are more than 24 inches, because their weight allows it. For example, the 34-inch ultra-panoramic Dell U3415W has a VESA 100 anchor (100 x 100 mm hole space).
In this table you can find all the types defined by the normal:
| VESA is an anchor | EMPLOYER | |||
| Common name | Hole division | Screw size | Weight | Large size |
| FDMI MIS-B | 50 x 20 mm | M4 x 6 mm | ≤ 2 kg | 4 ″ to 7.9 ″ |
| FDMI MIS-C | 75 x 35 mm | M4 x 8 mm | ≤ 4,5 kg | 8 ″ to 11.9 ″ |
| FDMI MIS-D | 75 x 75 or 100 x 100 mm | M4 x 10 mm | ≤ 14 kg | 12 ″ to 23,9 ″ |
| FDMI MIS-E | 200 x 100 mm | M4 x 10 mm | ≤ 23,7 kg | 24 ″ to 30,9 ″ |
| FDMI MIS-F | 200mm mounting | M6 x 8 mm / 10 mm / M8 x 15 mm | ≤ 113.6 kg | ≥ 31 ″ |
Possible use of your VESA anchor
Let's take a look at what's used that can provide this type of anchor.
Move it freely with a portable arm
This is a very common use. It's about sharing the base of the track and "hanging it" on the arm that will allow us to not only move it freely wherever we want, but also to turn it around and use it vertically and in other ways to hide cables and not to hang them. Many arms are, in fact, compatible Multiple monitors, so that most configuration configuration is correct.
Additional use that we can provide VESA anchors for monitoring and which may fall into this same category is possible hang it on the roof, even though it is a variation of the arms that are usually placed on a desk that is designed to be mounted on the roof. This, though widely used in public places or by suppliers, is one of the opportunities offered by this community.
Convert track to Smart TV
This logically applies to television too. The case is that there are some boxes to install a Raspberry Pi on the VESA board monitor, and since most monitors have a powerful USB HUB and everything the Raspberry Pi needs to work, we won't even have wires out there that bother. With Raspberry we can have everything we want to watch a series, movies or anything we want.
Hide a small PC
This will vary from the past, but for example Intel NUC They are already configured with a VESA anchor that will be placed behind the track. Similarly, I mean Apple Mac Mini They have an adapter (sold separately) that allows us to put them there, so that we don't put them on the table and that they are as clean as possible with cables and devices.
An arm with a laptop stand
Similar to what we've seen so far, there are also adapters that work the other way, and what they do is "pull" the VESA anchor arm from the monitor to the tray ready for us to put the laptop in. Logically this arm is adjustable so we can adjust the screens and make it look good.
Change to monitor ergonomics
Finally, VESA tracking anchor can also be useful if we do not like an industrial monitor base. Imagine that the base is for the repaired who do not allow to change its height or inclination, but also do not want to use the arm for any reason. Since manufacturers such as Dell have monitoring bases that allow us to resolve this, they are compatible with almost any anchor type monitor, and will allow win all ergonomics was missing from the factory.
And here is the use of the VESA anchor for monitors, but if you can think of something else we haven't included, don't hesitate to let us know in the comments.
