1. Vesa Standard Mounting
Pay special attention to the mounting holes on the backof the
flat screen TV.
Where the bracket and the back of the flat panel are attached to
one another.
These mounting holes will vary depending on the size and make
of TV.
Measure the distance separating the screw holes horizontally (Width)
and the distance between the screw holes vertically (Height)
Below is a simple guide to standard
mounting patterns (VESA).

Many brackets will accommodate a wide variety of sizes by
allowing for multiple screw points (as you see below for the Height) and often a
sliding rail system that accommodates a variety of widths.
The brackets, like
the one below, will accommodate all any configurations up to 400mm in Width.

Max Load
Weight
Once you've established that TV will attach to the
bracket,
you need to ensure that the bracket is physically strong enough
to support the weight.
This is the weight of the TV excluding the stand.
Many common
brackets will support as much as 75kg.
As a general guide, weight of TVs are :
LCD TV
22"~5kg
26"~8kg
32"~12kg
37"~15kg
42"~18kg
47"~22kg
52"~40kg
Plasma TV
