Yes — almost certainly. The vast majority of modern flat-screen TVs (LCD, LED, QLED, OLED, and even older plasma screens) are designed to be wall mounted. The key is checking your TV for VESA mounting holes and matching the right bracket to those measurements. See our guide to VESA compatibility for a detailed breakdown of all common sizes.
What is VESA?
VESA stands for Video Electronics Standards Association. It is the international standard that defines the spacing of the four mounting holes on the back of your TV. These holes are what the bracket attaches to.
VESA is measured in millimetres — width first, then height. Common sizes include:
- VESA 75×75 — Small TVs under 32 inches
- VESA 100×100 — Common on 32–40 inch TVs
- VESA 200×200 — Common on 40–55 inch TVs
- VESA 400×400 — Common on 55–65 inch TVs
- VESA 600×400 — Larger TVs, 65–75 inches
- VESA 800×400 and above — Very large TVs, 75+ inches
How to check if your TV has VESA holes
Look at the back of your TV. You should see four threaded holes arranged in a square or rectangle pattern. These are your VESA holes. Measure the distance between them (centre to centre) horizontally and vertically — that gives you the VESA size.
Alternatively, check your TV's manual or look up the model number on the manufacturer's website. The VESA specification will be listed in the technical specifications section.
All Samsung TVs are wall mountable
Samsung TVs sold in the UK are VESA compliant and designed to be wall mounted. The same is true for the major brands sold in the UK including LG, Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Hisense, and TCL. Modern TVs are simply designed with wall mounting as the expected installation method. Our TV bracket installation service covers all brands and VESA sizes.
The rare exception
Very occasionally, you will encounter an extremely large TV — such as Samsung's 98-inch or 110-inch models — that weighs over 100kg. These require a specialist wall frame rather than a standard bracket, and must be mounted into structural fixings. This is rare in residential settings, but worth being aware of.
Checking your wall
Once you have confirmed your TV can be mounted, the next step is checking your wall. The wall needs to be able to support the weight of the TV and bracket. Brick and solid concrete walls are typically suitable with the correct masonry fixings. Plasterboard walls require the right fixings — see our guide on safe plasterboard mounting. Mount TV is Richer Sounds Approved — vetted to handle premium TVs from every major UK brand, with BS 7671:2018 electrical compliance for any in-wall cable, socket, or fused-spur work.
Quick checklist before mounting
- ✓ Locate VESA holes on the back of your TV
- ✓ Measure the VESA spacing (or check your manual)
- ✓ Buy a bracket that matches your VESA size and TV weight
- ✓ Check your wall type and choose the right fixings
- ✓ Plan your cable routing before drilling
- ✓ Choose your mounting height with care — too high causes neck strain
FAQ
What if I cannot find the VESA measurements for my TV?+
Check your TV manual or search your TV model number on the manufacturer's website — VESA dimensions are listed in the technical specifications. Alternatively, measure the four mounting holes on the back of your TV from centre to centre, horizontally and vertically. Still unsure? Contact us with your TV model and we will look it up.
Do you supply brackets for all VESA sizes?+
Yes. We carry brackets covering all standard VESA sizes from 75×75 up to 800×400 and above. When you book with us, we select and supply the correct bracket for your specific TV model and wall type — you do not need to source anything separately.
Does wall mounting a TV void the manufacturer's warranty?+
Wall mounting does not void a TV warranty in the UK, provided it is done correctly using the VESA holes as intended by the manufacturer. Damage caused by improper installation or incorrect fixings could affect a warranty claim — which is another reason professional installation offers peace of mind.
Can a TV be wall mounted on any wall type?+
Yes — brick, solid concrete, and plasterboard walls all support TV wall mounting with the correct fixings and approach. We assess the wall type before every installation to confirm the method needed. See our specialist guides for TV mounting on plasterboard, brick walls, and concrete walls.
