Choosing the right fixture for a Xiaomi TV wall mount is a critical step in ensuring the safety of the entire structure and the safety of expensive equipment. Many users mistakenly believe that all brackets are versatile and complete with the perfect set of bolts, but reality dictates their conditions. Often, screws of the wrong length or diameter of the thread are included with the bracket purchased, which can lead to damage to the rear panel or, worse, to the fall of the device.
You need to know the specification of the thread and the length of the screws, as the VESA standards used by Xiaomi can vary depending on the screen diagonal. Incorrectly selected fasteners can damage internal electronics if the screw is too long and will cost control. In this article, we will analyze in detail all the nuances of choice of hardware, types of threads and provide accurate matching tables for various models of TVs of the Chinese brand.
Affixture standards VESA and their influence on the choice of screws International standard VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association not only regulates the distance between the holes on the back of the TV, but also indirectly affects the required parameters of the fasteners. TV standards are often applied 200×200 mm, 300×300 mm 400×400 Understanding what standard your model is for is the first step to getting the screws right, the size of the thread depends on the weight of the TV and the mounting area, the larger the diagonal and the mass of the device, the thicker the screw must be to withstand the load without deformation. For small diagonals, metric thread is usually used M4 or M5, For medium and large screens, screws become the standard M6 and M8. Ignoring this rule can lead to the failure of threads in the landing holes of the body. ⚠️ Warning: Never use inch-carved screws (UNC/UNF) Instead of metric, even if they seem to fit in diameter, this is guaranteed to damage the seats in the case of the Xiaomi TV.
When choosing screws for a Xiaomi TV, you will come across several basic thread sizes. The most common standard for modern models with a diagonal of 43 inches and above is the M6 thread. This is a reliable option that provides sufficient mounting strength for most wall brackets. M6 screws have a diameter of 6 mm and a thread pitch usually of 1 mm. For larger models such as the Mi TV Q1 or large panels of the Master series, the use of screws with M8 threads is often required. They have a high mounting strength for the use of screws under the M8, so much more weight and the use of this swelling. 📊 What is your Xiaomi TV? TV 4AMi TV 4SMi TV Q1Mi TV Another model is also important to pay attention to the thread pitch, although in the standard VESA It's usually classic, but there are exceptions where specific models may require smaller pitch screws. Always check the technical documentation for a particular Mi model. TV pre-fix.
The length of the screw is no less important than the diameter of the thread. Too short screw will not provide a reliable hook, and too long can cause serious damage. Xiaomi TVs often use space behind the mounting holes, and there are important components, such as Wi-Fi modules or matrix plumes. The optimal length of the screw is selected based on the thickness of the back of the TV and the thickness of the mounting plate of the bracket. Generally, for mounting, used in the TV hole is often limited, and there are important components, such as a screw from the inside of the mounting level to a few millimeters, to measure the internal mounting. Take 2-3 mm away from the resulting value, which will be the maximum safe length of the screw without regard to washers. Washers and bushings are often used to compensate for rear irregularities or bracket design features. They allow you to adjust the gap between the TV and the wall, providing ventilation and preventing overheating. However, their thickness should be taken into account when calculating the final length of the fastener.
To simplify the selection process, we have compiled a summary table that will help determine the necessary screw parameters for the popular series of Xiaomi and Mi TVs. TV. Please note that the data are of a recommendatory nature, and before installation should always be carried out visual inspection and fitting. Screen size Model range (example) Standard VESA Type of thread Recommended length 32 - 40 inch Mi TV 4A 32", 40" 200x200 M4 / M5 8 - 12 mm 43 - 50 inch Mi TV 4S 43", 50" 200x200 / 300x300 M6 10 - 15 mm 55 - 65 inch Mi TV Q1 55", 65" 400x400 M6 / M8 15 - 25 mm 70+ inch Mi TV Master Series 600x400 M8 20 - 30 This table covers most scenarios, but always remember that modifications may differ. For example, the Global version may have different body designs compared to the Chinese version. CN.
The process of installing a TV on the wall requires care and consistency, and first you need to fix the bracket response bar on the back of the TV using the screws you have chosen. At this stage, it is important not to tighten the screws to the point at once, but to cash them all in order to make sure the positioning is correct. ☑️ Checklist before lifting TV Check the length of screws (does not stick inside) Make sure the density of the adjoining bar Check the horizontality of the bracket on the wall Make sure the reliability of dowels in the wall: 0 / 4 Once the bar is fixed on the TV, the device is hung on the wall. The final tightening of the screws should be done carefully, without undue effort. Use a screwdriver with a suitable sting or a key to avoid damaging the screw hats. ⚠️ Warning: If you feel a sharp increase in resistance when you twist the screw long before the bar is pressed against the body, stop immediately. 💡Key point: The fixation of the TV should be rigid, without backlashes, but without a drag, which can deform the plastic case or break the thread in aluminum bushings.
