the drawing. The screen manufacturer should warrant that filling the standard holes with the specified screws will be able to hold the screen in any direction. The bracket manufacturer should warrant that the bracket can carry the maximum weight from table 1 when using all the specified screws. More details can be found by purchasing a copy of the standard itself, including rules to ensure cables don't prevent using the mounts. Details of variant F yn is Y if the screen can be turned 90 degrees (to alternate between portrait and landscape orientations), N if it cannot. 6/8 is 6 for M6 screws, 8 for M8 screws. The 2006 edition of the VESA standard is very clear that the type F pattern is always square, and that the odd sizes 300×300, 500×500, 700×700 and 900×900 are allowed too. Common notes for variant F Screws are standard M6 or M8 machine screws as long as the bracket is thick plus the length given in table 1. Each hole must be within ±0.5 mm of its nominal position. If the screen manufacturer included different screws they must be used, not the ones that came with the bracket. If the screen manufacturer provides their own mount, it may be attached in any way as long as it can be removed. The hole pattern is a square with holes along the sides only, holes are every 100 mm along the edges, and there are no holes in the square. The bracket is two strips that fit either the left and right or the top and bottom row of holes, and the holes along the two other edges of the square are not used at the same time. The screen manufacturer may omit some of the holes except the outer corners if the remaining holes are enough to carry the weight of the screen and its official add-ons (such as their own sound bar). The mounting area must be the part of the screen furthest towards the back (so no part of the screen may extend further back). The mounting area touching the bracket must be at least 35 mm wide, and the two halves of the bracket itself may be up to 100 mm wide each. Around each mounting hole in the screen, there must be a gripping area for the bracket at least 10 mm (M6)/12 mm (M8). The 35 mm wide areas
