Here is a small relief for anyone about to buy a TV stand and quietly dreading a compatibility problem: there is a single shared measurement that almost every TV and every mount agrees on. It is called VESA. Once you understand it, "will this fit my TV" stops being a guess.
Four holes, two numbers, millimetres. That pair is the only spec that decides whether the stand will hold the set.
What VESA actually is
VESA is a standard from the Video Electronics Standards Association. The part you care about describes the four mounting holes on the back of the television: horizontal distance by vertical distance, hole centre to hole centre, in millimetres.
A TV described as VESA 400x300 has holes 400mm apart across and 300mm apart down. That is all the number means. Nearly every brand builds to this pattern, and nearly every stand and wall mount is designed around it, which is why a stand made by one company fits a television made by another. It is one of those rare bits of the world that quietly works.
The common sizes, roughly by screen
Patterns step up as screens get bigger, though it is never worth assuming. Smaller sets often land around 100x100 or 200x200. Mid-size screens around 300x300 or 400x400, sometimes 400x200. Larger screens around 600x400. The biggest sets go further, including 800x400, which is outside what we make. Your TV's exact figure is set by the manufacturer, not by its inches. Treat the map as a hint. Check the holes.
How to find yours in two minutes
The lazy way: the manual or the manufacturer's spec page. It is almost always listed.
The reliable way: a tape on the TV itself. Find the four threaded holes. Measure left to right, then top to bottom, centre to centre. Write both down in millimetres, width first, for example 400x300. That pair is your VESA size.
If there are screws already sitting in those holes, take them out before measuring and keep them. You may want them, or ones like them, when you hang the set.
What Vislund actually takes
A stand's bracket only holds TVs whose pattern falls inside its range. Get that right and everything else is straightforward.
EASEL, the hardwood stand: 200x100 through 600x400mm, for most televisions between 42 and 75 inches. Walnut on black steel, or beech on white steel.
STUDIO, the steel stand on casters: 100x100 through 400x400mm, for 55 to 70 inch screens. That lower 100x100 start is useful for some smaller-hole mid-size sets. The top of the range is tighter than EASEL. A very large 75-inch with a 600x400 pattern wants EASEL, not STUDIO.
Check the number once. Confirm it sits inside the range for the stand you want. Then you can think about which wood, or whether you wanted wheels.
