VESA mounts - What size bolt do they use?

[Listy2021]

As the title says, need to know the size of the bolt / screw that attaches a VESA mount head to a TFT (minor oversight on my part with my new mount as it doesn't come with any!)

Cheers

don't quote me on this, but i think it is M5 screws.

Cheers matey. I thought they might be either M3 or M6 so not far off if you're right

When i mounted a monitor on my bedroom wall, the deskstand used the VESA mount anyway, so i just used the scvrews from that. I'd actually be surprised if yours wasn't similar.

Also just had a look, and my 17" Dell has four screws in the mounting holes even though its desk stand is clipped on.

EDIT: Actually, they look a lot bugger than M5

Well prepare to be surprised 'cos the Hanns.G HW191D doesn't use the VESA mount holes for the stand. Also I'm not so slow that I wouldn't notice if it did BTW

Still need help with this so please chip in if you can help
