The Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI),
also known as VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS) or
colloquially as VESA mount, is a family of standards defined
and other displays to stands or wall mounts. It is implemented
on most modern flat-panel monitors and TVs. As well as being used for mounting monitors, the
standards can be used to attach a small PC to the mount or
monitor. The first standard in this family was introduced in
***7 and was originally called Flat Panel Monitor Physical
Mounting Interface (FPMPMI), it corresponds to part D of the
current standard.
