Monitor holders – flexible, convenient and comfortable
If you work at the desk with a computer, you will appreciate a large monitor. But as nice as the large screens are, the feet consume quite a lot of space on the desk. The area below the screens could serve as a storage area. By the way, if you work with two monitors, you have the problem twice.
This is a remedy for clever monitor table holders, which let the screen float almost freely over the desk. In addition, the monitors can be swiveled and tilted and the viewing distance can be adjusted variably.
But that's not all! Wherever TVs or other screens need to be mounted in a space-saving way, monitor holders are the perfect solution.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about monitor mounts
What was a monitor holder?
The manufacturers usually attach a monitor stand to their TVs or monitors . This makes it possible to place the device on a table.
However, if the installation location is planned on the wall or under the ceiling, the feet will not help. Then monitor wall mountsor ceiling mounts are used. But even when the space at the desk is limited, the practical monitor holders help further.
The holders usually consist of stable metal parts, which are connected with joints. This makes the monitors later swiveling and tilting and can be aligned flexibly and perfectly.
For mounting on the wall or ceiling, as well as for mounting on the monitor or TV, large surface areas are available.
A monitor table holder is adjusted.
What was the VESA standard?
VESA stands for the Video Electronics Standard Association, which has developed a uniform standard especially in the field of TV and monitor holders. This ensures that the boreholes in the monitor holder fit exactly to the threaded bushes on the rear of the device.
There are three different VESA standards:
The four holes for the holder are arranged in square form and have a distance of 100 mm. This corresponds to the VESA 100 standard.
VESA MIS-D
This standard is intended for smaller TVs and monitors up to 14 kg. The screen size of these devices is typically 30.5 to 58.3 cm or 12 to 23 inches. The hole pattern of the fixing screws is square and is 75 x 75 mm or 100 x 100 mm.
VESA MIS-E
This standard is intended for televisions and monitors weighing up to 23 kg. Devices of this weight class have a screen size of approx. 58.4 to 78.6 cm or 23 to 31 inches. The mounting holes for the retaining screws are arranged at right angles at a distance of 200 mm (horizontal) and 100 mm (vertical).
VESA MIS F
This standard is used for large TVs or monitors up to a maximum weight of 114 kg. The screen size is then more than 78.7 cm or 31 inches. The distance between the fixing screws can be 400 x 200 mm, 600 x 400 mm or 400 x 400 mm. As a rule, the steps to the next larger or smaller dimension are 200 mm.
Meanwhile, however, further variations in hole spacing have become established on the market. But was the name consistent. If only one number is specified as a VESA value, e.g. VESA 75, VESA 100, VESA 200, VESA 300 and so on, the hole spacing is square. The number corresponds to the hole distance in mm.
If two numbers, such as VESA 600 x 400, are specified, the first number describes the horizontal distance of the mounting holes in mm and the second number describes the vertical distance in mm.
Important:
The specification of the VESA standard, such as VESA 75, only refers to the installation of the monitor. The standard does not say anything about the extent to which the monitor holder can be tilted, swiveled or rotated.
If the monitor does not have a VESA-compatible diagram of the mounting holes, a suitable VESA bracket can be mounted with a VESA adapter.
On the other side, for example, monitor stands for large screens have stable mounting rails with different holes and slots. This ensures that even devices without standardized mounting holes can be screwed on to them.
Monitor stand or monitor holder?
The type of monitor mounting is as diverse as the range of applications of the display devices. Depending on the task, different solutions are available:
Monitor increases
Monitor elevations make the space under the monitor usable.
The simplest way to place the monitor on the desk and thereby be able to use the space below partially.
It is important that the monitor is set to the correct height so that fatigue-free working is also possible for hours.
Monitor table brackets
Table monitor holders create space on the desk.
A monitor table holder creates space at the workplace. In the truest sense of the word.
This is all the more important if several monitors are operated at the same time. The screens can then be swiveled and tilted and can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle.
In addition, this type of mounting offers a visually neat workplace. A table mount is often referred to as an arm or monitor arm.
Monitor wall brackets
After installation, the monitor is folded to the wall.
If a monitor or TV is to be mounted on the wall, every centimeter of distance from the wall is counter-productive. Ideally, the screen should be flat against the wall.
This is no problem with the matching monitor wall bracket. After installation and connection, the monitor is simply moved closer to the wall.
Monitor stands
Monitor mounting for presentations and exhibitions.
Stands are especially used for presentations, trade fair stands or exhibitions.
Depending on the type of presentation, the monitors can then be swiveled, tilted or even rotated.
A rotating suspended monitor can be rotated easily and display so many table rows without the user having to scroll.
Monitor trolley
Monitor trolley for large screens.
Monitor trolleys are often used in companies or schools.
In times of increasing digitalization, more and more meetings or training sessions are taking place, where participants are sometimes only connected via video transmission. A large TFT is not installed in every room.
With a trolley or roll stand, even large displays can be transported to the required room in no time at all.
Some trolleys also offer plenty of space for the computer/notebook, mouse and keyboard. Thus, a complete computer workstation becomes flexible and mobile.
What was to be observed when purchasing a monitor holder?
In order to take full advantage of the advantages of a monitor holder, it is important to pay attention to a few things when purchasing.
Holder type
As already mentioned, there are different types of monitor holder. In order to choose the correct mount, it is important to know how and where to mount the monitor. According to these specifications, the suitable holder type can be selected.
Weight
All monitor holders have a maximum load capacity, which is specified by the manufacturer. As a rule, the holders and stands are sufficiently stable, so that there are usually no problems here. However, regardless of this, you have to check the weight of the screen and compare it to the maximum load capacity of the holder.
Size
The size of the holder is probably the most important criterion when buying. This must match the monitor size. The two VESA standards of monitor and bracket must match. If several monitors are to be attached to the bracket, it is important to measure the individual monitor sizes precisely. In addition, it is advisable to combine monitors of the same size.
Mobility
Mobility depends on your own requirements and wishes. If the monitor is to be swiveling and tilting, the holder must support the motion option. If the screen does not have to be swiveling and tilting, it is recommended that the holder be permanently fixed in the position with the best viewing angle.
Security
The typical monitor holders are generally safe and stable at the same time. If a wall holder is installed in a public area, you should always use high-quality material with corresponding test seals. In addition, the attachment must be carried out conscientiously and all screws must be checked for secure fit.
FAQ – frequently asked questions about monitor mounts
Can each monitor be mounted with a monitor holder?
Since there are many different monitor holders, the suitable monitor holders are always offered, especially for the current monitors. In case of doubt, refer to the technical data of the display to see if a monitor holder can be mounted.
Can the monitor mount be mounted on any wall?
Yes and No. Not every wall is suitable for carrying a larger load, such as a wall bracket. Especially if the wall holder has to wear a heavy TV set, high load forces occur at the contact surface of the wall holder as well as at the retaining screws. Since drywall walls made of gypsum boards have a limited load capacity, they can be quickly overloaded by a large wall bracket.
What was the pivot function for monitor holders?
Holders with the pivot function are not only designed for swiveling and tilting. In addition, the monitor can be rotated. Many monitor stands have the pivot function and can be rotated.
