The Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI) is a VESA standard for mounting flat panel monitors, TVs and other displays. The standard is correctly known as FDMI, but more often referred to as VESA mount. The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is an international body, founded in the late 1980s by NEC Home Electronics and eight other video display adapter manufacturers. ... Flat panel displays encompass a growing number of technologies enabling video displays that are lighter and much thinner than traditional television and video displays using cathode ray tubes, usually less than 10 cm (4 inches) thick. ...

The interface is implemented on most modern flat-panel monitors and TVs, but not all.

The screws typically used for FDMI mounts are M4 metric machine screws, often 1cm in length depending on the mount. Appropriate fasteners are often supplied with the mount rather than with the display. If appropriate fasteners are not supplied with either device they may be obtained at many hardware stores thanks to the standardization of screw threads. The metric ISO screw threads are the world-wide most commonly used type of general-purpose screw thread. ...
