[edit] Screw sizes

What size are the bolts that fit into the holes?

Please see update in article.

Thanks for the update, but it only tells me that I need M4 metric screws. My mounting bracket (VESA) is 200 x 200 and the supplied screws are too small (diameter) for the VESA (Samsung) LCDTV? Is there a table of the correct mounting screw sizes for the small, medium and large VESA mounting standards?

While MIS-D uses M4 threads, from what I can gather from page 20 of this document, MIS-F uses either M6 (10 mm deep) or M8 (15 mm deep) threads. I've updated the article accordingly. Your TV manual might contain the full VESA MIS designation under "Technical data". See the ISO metric screw thread article for how to identify metric screw threads by their minor diameter, which you can measure easily with a caliper. Sadly, the actual FDMI 1.1 standard is with 350 USD a bit pricy for casual reading by an interested Wikipedian. Standards want to be free! Markus Kuhn 12:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weight

What maximum weights are defined for each bracket dimension ? Can a manufacturer decide its 50 kg panel will use a 75x75 mm plate ? or is there a limit set in the specification ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.167.193.66 (talk) 16:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
