Minimum size
The minimum TV screen size that can be mounted on the stand/mount. It is usually indicated for structures with mounts, for stands this parameter is irrelevant (for more details, see "Type"). The parameter is not absolutely accurate, because technically, TVs with a smaller size can fit the mount; however, in general, it allows to evaluate the scope of a particular model of mount/stand.
Max. distance from wall
The maximum distance from the TV mounting point to the wall (in the case of ceiling mounts, to the ceiling) provided by the mount. See "Minimum distance from wall" for details.
Upward tilt angle
The maximum upwards tilt angle from the vertical of the installed screen. The larger the tilt angle, the wider the adjustment possibilities, however, in fact, an angle of more than 5° is rarely required.
Downward tilt angle
The maximum downward tilt angle from the vertical for the installed screen. As with the upward tilt angle, the larger this angle, the wider the adjustment possibilities; however, downward tilt is usually required more frequently (the TV may be installed under the ceiling), and its angle can be as high as 15-20°.
VESA
VESA is generally accepted standard for most modern screens (TVs, monitors, plasma panels) and is found in all types of stands/mounts, except for classic stands (see "Type"), where the TV is placed on its own stand. Any such mount has 4 screws arranged in the shape of a rectangle (square). However, the size of this rectangle can be different, it depends primarily on the weight, and, accordingly, the size of the screen. The smallest mount today is
50x50 mm, it is designed for very miniature models;
100x100 mm can already hold TVs of about 24",
200x200 mm — 32", and in larger models, the size of the mount can reach
800x400 mm. Many mount/stand models have holes for several VESA standards.
The following sizes of VESA mounts are currently on the market:
50x50 mm,
75x75 mm,
100x100 mm,
100x200 mm,
200x100 mm,

Cable management
Possibility
of placing the cables connected to the TV inside the rod or support of the mount(for ceiling and floor structures, respectively, see "Type"). This placement gives the whole structure a neat appearance, because cables, often of different sizes and colours, and even tangled with each other, are hidden from view and do not spoil the aesthetics.
