VESA is an acronym for Video Electronics Standards Association. The current documentation can be purchased through the VESA organization.
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.
There are several different hole patterns that the VESA standard covers. The following table provides the more common dimensions.
