There are several options available for installing a Flatscreen Display into a Server Rack. The simplest and most economical method is to use a Flushmount Bracket. This product will allow Flatscreens as large as 20″ to be installed into a Server Rack.

The higher end products provide a more integrated look to the installation. These products provide a faceplate that covers the front of the flatscreen. Products like this are only compatible with a particular model of display and therefore must be used with very specific installations.

What is VESA?

VESA is an acronym for Video Electronics Standards Association. The current documentation can be purchased through the VESA organization.

Overview

Monitor and Video Display manufacturers produce their products to meet an industry standard which allows compatibility between various products and accessories. This means that if one manufacturer makes the display and a different manufacturer makes a ceiling mount then the two products will fit together without issue.
