SimXPro VESA Mount and Tilt Bracket: Fit and Adjustment

Quick Answer

Choose the SimXPro Standard VESA Mount if you only need a rigid, fixed 75/100 connection and your monitor already sits at a comfortable height and angle. Choose the SimXPro Tilt-Slide-Angle VESA Brackets if you need to fine-tune monitor angle or slide the screen sideways after installation. Both fit SimXPro monitor stands and 40 × 40 mm or 40 × 80 mm aluminium profile, but they solve different problems.

What Each SimXPro Bracket Actually Does

The SimXPro Standard VESA Mount is a fixed bracket. It holds a 75 × 75 mm or 100 × 100 mm monitor pattern to your profile frame. Because it has no sliding or tilting mechanism, it gives you a very stiff connection with fewer parts to check. The catalog lists it as 3 mm hardened steel with a matt-black powder coating. That thickness matters on a sim racing rig: thicker steel resists the small vibrations that can make a monitor wobble during long stints.

The SimXPro Tilt-Slide-Angle VESA Brackets add two adjustments. The two-piece set supports the upper and lower sections of the monitor and uses two M8 sliding points, so you can change the screen angle and slide the monitor left or right without unbolting the whole mount. The catalog lists 2 mm hardened steel with the same matt-black textured powder coating. The trade-off is more setup time and more bolts to keep tight, but you gain the ability to correct a monitor that is slightly off-centre or angled away from your eye line.

Fit Guidance: Will It Bolt to Your Rig?

Both brackets are compatible with all SimXPro monitor stands and other stands built from 40 × 40 mm or 40 × 80 mm aluminium profile. Check your monitor's VESA pattern before ordering: 75 × 75 mm and 100 × 100 mm are the two supported sizes. If your monitor uses a different pattern, neither bracket will bolt on directly.

You also need the right fasteners. The SimXPro Mounting Hardware Kit includes 4 T nuts, 4 M8 10.8 grade bolts in either 12 mm or 16 mm length, and 4 ball-bearing T nuts M8. The bolt length option matters because profile slot depth varies. A 12 mm bolt can be too short if you are stacking a bracket and a washer; a 16 mm bolt can bottom out in a shallow slot. Measure your slot depth before choosing.

Adjustment: Setting Tilt, Slide, and Angle

With the Tilt-Slide-Angle set, loosen the M8 sliding points just enough to move the monitor, then tighten them firmly. Make small changes and sit in your normal driving position before tightening everything. A 5 mm slide can change how centred the screen feels more than a large angle change.

For angle, start with the monitor face parallel to your wheel base, then tilt the top slightly toward you if you sit low. If you use a single monitor, the goal is a square view of the screen; if you use triples, keep the centre monitor square and angle the side monitors inward. The Tilt-Slide-Angle brackets give you that independent adjustment. The Standard VESA Mount does not, so set your profile frame position correctly before you bolt it down.

Hardware and Rigidity Trade-Offs

More adjustment points mean more places for vibration to develop. If you run a heavy direct-drive wheel base and a large monitor, re-check the bracket bolts after the first few sessions. The Standard VESA Mount has fewer joints, so it is the more rigid choice when you do not need to move the screen.

The SimXPro Angle Bracket - Black is a separate cockpit and rig building part, not a monitor mount. It is useful for joining profile sections or cleaning up a frame, but it does not attach a monitor to a stand. Do not order it expecting a VESA connection.

Decision Rules: Which Bracket to Buy

• If your monitor position is already correct: Buy the SimXPro Standard VESA Mount. It is 3 mm hardened steel and has no sliding or tilting joints, so it holds the screen firmly with fewer parts to check. Best for fixed single-monitor setups and rigs where you set the profile frame once.
• If you need to fine-tune angle or centre the screen: Buy the SimXPro Tilt-Slide-Angle VESA Brackets. The two M8 sliding points let you adjust tilt and slide after the monitor is mounted. Best for triple-monitor alignment or when your seating position changes.
• If you are ordering either bracket: Add the SimXPro Mounting Hardware Kit and choose 12 mm or 16 mm bolts based on your profile slot depth. The kit includes T nuts and ball-bearing T nuts. Wrong bolt length is the most common reason a monitor bracket feels loose.

Product Facts

• SimXPro VESA bracket tilt - slide - angle 75 - 100 - SET 2x: SimXPro Tilt-Slide-Angle VESA Brackets – 75/100 – 2x, made from 2 mm hardened steel with matt-black textured powder coating, two M8 sliding points, and a two-piece set that supports the upper and lower monitor sections. This is the bracket to choose when you need to adjust monitor angle or slide the screen sideways after the stand is built.
• SimXPro VESA mount 75 - 100 standard: SimXPro Standard VESA Mount – 75/100, made from 3 mm hardened steel with matt-black powder coating, compatible with all SimXPro monitor stands and stands built from 40 × 40 mm or 40 × 80 mm aluminium profile. This is the stiffer, simpler option when your monitor position is already correct and you do not need tilt or slide.
• SimXPro Mounting Hardware Kit: SimXPro Mounting Hardware Kit includes 4 T nuts, 4 M8 10.8 grade bolts in 12 mm or 16 mm length, and 4 ball-bearing T nuts M8. You need the correct bolt length for your profile slot; choosing the wrong length can leave the bracket loose or unable to tighten.
• SimXPro Angle Bracket - Black: SimXPro Angle Bracket - Black is designed for cockpit and rig builds, clean mounting, and practical fitment. This is a frame-building part, not a monitor mount, so it should not be ordered as a VESA solution.

Fit Guidance

Best for

• Sim racers with a 75 × 75 mm or 100 × 100 mm VESA monitor pattern
• Rigs built from SimXPro monitor stands or 40 × 40 mm / 40 × 80 mm aluminium profile
• Drivers who want to adjust monitor tilt or slide after installation (Tilt-Slide-Angle set)
• Drivers who want maximum rigidity with no adjustment joints (Standard VESA Mount)

Not for

• Monitors with a VESA pattern other than 75 × 75 mm or 100 × 100 mm
• Rigs that do not use 40 × 40 mm or 40 × 80 mm aluminium profile
• Anyone expecting the SimXPro Angle Bracket - Black to work as a monitor mount
