VESA, or the Video Electronics Standards Association, is an organization that develops and promotes industry standards for video and display technologies. Founded in 1989, VESA aims to ensure compatibility and interoperability among various video devices, including monitors, projectors, and graphics cards. One of VESA's most well-known standards is the DisplayPort, which allows high-definition video and audio transmission between devices. Additionally, VESA is responsible for the VESA Mounting Interface Standard, which provides guidelines for mounting displays on walls or stands, ensuring that monitors can be securely attached and adjusted for optimal viewing.
