searching for a tv monitor stand, cart or wall mount. VESA (Video Electronics
Standard Association) is an industry standard for monitor mounting hole
patterns that are used by most manufactures of monitors. Listed below is a
summary of the common VESA standard mounting hole patterns:

– Small to Medium flat panel monitors from 12”-22.9” diagonal
and weighing up to 30.8 lbs. (14 kg).

Common sizes: 75mm x 75mm or 100mm x 100mm

– Medium flat panel monitors from 23”-30.9” diagonal and
weighing up to 50 lbs. (22.6 kg).

Common sizes: 200mm x 100mm or 200mm x 200mm

– Large flat panel monitors from 31”-90” diagonal and weighing
up to 250 lbs. (113.4 kg).

Various hole patterns in 200 mm increments: 400mm x
200mm, or 600mm x  400mm, or 800 x
400 mm

When printing in large format many printers require Vector art (commonly known as line art). They are simply not able to take your jpg. bitmap file from your website and print it in large format. This article is aimed at explaining what Vector art is and why it is necessary.

What is vector art?

Why Vector Art?
Vector art (commonly known as line art) is made up of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors (thus the name). Vector art is resolution independent and can be scaled to any size (ie: as big as a house) without loss of quality. All text (fonts) must also be converted to vectors (sometimes called outlines, paths or curves) before uploading to our production department.
