All Flat Panel TV wall mounts needs to be VESA compliant. Basically, assuming that both your TV and the wall mount are VESA compliant, they will do the job together. Just make sure you select the appropriate size mount for the Television. The description of the mount should have what size television it is made for and the maximum wieght load it can handle.

Installation Tutorial
There's much debate over just what the right height is to mount a Lcd tv on the wall. Whereby you constantly to cut out a piece of cardboard the same size as your flat screen tv, and get a buddy move it around on the wall until you have a rough concept of where you want to position the Wall Mount. As soon as you get an concept of where you want to mount your TV, you have to find the studs. The standard for studs in most houses is 16 inches apart. In most cases 2 studs will be adequate to mount a TV securely on the wall. Having said that, If you have a heavier TV you might want to use 3 studs. Feel free to use a stud finder if you can. They can be found at any hardware store for about 20 dollars. Employing a stud finder can make your life easier. All you do with a stud finder is guide it over the wall while pressing a button. When you hit a stud it'll beep by itself, and also you mark the spot where it hit using a pencil. If you don't have a stud finder handy, you can measure 16 in. from your electrical socket or door frame to manually locate it.
For the next step, I typically screw in the top center hole on the bracket to the wall. This will make it easier to even out the bracket prior to screwing in the remaining holes into the studs. After this, you have to figure out what size bolts the back panel of your TV uses. Most mounts provides you with an assortment to find a sizing that fits your TV. Once you find the proper bolt for your TV, you attach the mount to the display.
You should now have the bracket connected to the wall, as well as the mount connected to the TV. If you want to make sure your install is as clean as possible, it is best to cut away a hole in the wall close to the bracket for the cabling to hide inside the wall. You're almost finished! Just place the mounted TV on the bolted bracket on the wall to complete the project.
