Mounting a Toshiba TV is no easy feat. If you don’t know what you’re doing, it could fall off and create a big, expensive mess.

One of the best ways to ensure a safe, secure mount is to use the right screws for the job. Here’s how you can find the perfect screws to safely mount your Toshiba TV on the wall.

What Screw Size Do I Need to Mount a Toshiba TV?

Most TV manufacturers follow the VESA system, a standardized system that allows you to mount your Toshiba TV on any mount that can support its weight and VESA pattern.

The main factors that determine which size screws you’ll need to mount your Toshiba TV are screen size, weight, and VESA pattern.

Most wall mounting kits include the screws you need to attach your TV. But if yours doesn’t, all Toshiba TVs can be mounted with M6 screws — regardless of screen size and dimensions.  

What Screw Length Do I Need to Mount a Toshiba TV?

Toshiba lists the recommended mounting screw size in their TVs’ user manuals, but screw length is a different story. 

Generally, the easiest thing to do is purchase a universal mounting screws kit. These include screws of different diameters and lengths, allowing you to find the perfect fit.

But if you’re determined to buy only one set of screws, you can measure the thread length following the steps below:

  1. Grab a long, thin object like an unfolded paperclip.
  2. Stick the object into one of your Toshiba TV’s mounting holes
  3. Use a permanent marker to mark how much of the object goes into the hole.
  4. Measure the distance to the mark in millimeters.

For example, if the paperclip reaches 10mm into the thread, you need a 10mm screw.

Note: Some mounting kits include spacers that fit between the mount and TV to allow for airflow. Make sure to account for this when you’re measuring.

How Can I Find My Toshiba TV’s VESA Pattern?

Your Toshiba TV’s VESA pattern will be listed in your user manual. If you don’t have it, find the model number and Google an online product listing. The VESA pattern will be listed under “Specifications.”

If neither is an option, you can also measure your VESA pattern with a tape measure:

  1. Measure the horizontal distance between the top two mounting holes.
  2. Measure the vertical distance between the left or right side mounting holes.
  3. Convert the distances to millimeters.

These two numbers are your VESA pattern.

The video below is with an LG TV, but the measuring information is universal.

Can I Mount a Toshiba TV on My Own?

Mounting a TV can be quite the project. The tools can get confusing, and the TV’s weight can be hard to handle. 

Before you mount your Toshiba TV, read the instructions that came with your mounting kit thoroughly. Make sure you’re up for the job and can handle the weight.

If you’re worried about mounting on your own, recruit a friend or family member to help. Still uncomfortable? It might be best to hire a professional.

Can All Toshiba TVs be Mounted?

As long as your Toshiba TV has VESA standard mounting holes on the back, it can be mounted on the wall. 

All you need to get the job done safely and correctly is a wall mount and screws that can support the TV’s weight.
