Screws & spacers for the XR-55A80L
The XR-55A80L takes M6 bolts: Sony's 2023 bracket guidance: screw length 8-12 mm from the bracket attachment surface; M6 per the SU-WL855 bracket manual covering the A80L line. A bolt longer than the documented spec can bottom out against internal components and damage the panel — thread a screw in by hand first and confirm it seats before mounting the TV.
If your mount's hardware kit doesn't include the right length, a universal TV hardware kit covers M4–M8 in common lengths. More detail in the screw size guide.
Standing the XR-55A80L on furniture instead?
The XR-55A80L's legs span 46.6 in at their widest position — it fits consoles at least 49 in wide, so both feet sit fully on the surface with a safety margin.
Furniture narrower than 49 in? A universal pedestal stand bolts into the same 300×300 mm VESA holes (M6 screws) and stands on a single center column — the usual fix instead of replacing the console. Check its weight rating against the XR-55A80L's 39.5 lb.
Double-check before buying
- Remove any plastic hole plugs on the back panel and confirm all 4 threaded holes are present and undamaged.
- Measure hole spacing center-to-center in millimeters — you should get 300 mm across and 300 mm vertically.
- Compare the model number on the back-panel sticker with the one on this page (XR-55A80L) — retail variants can differ.
How to verify yourself
- Lay the TV screen-down on a soft, flat surface and locate the 4 threaded holes on the back.
- Measure horizontally between the centers of the upper holes, then vertically between an upper and a lower hole — in millimeters.
- Match the two numbers to a standard pattern (for the XR-55A80L: 300×300 mm). Full walkthrough with photos of what to avoid: how to measure VESA.
Frequently asked questions
What VESA pattern does the Sony XR-55A80L use?
The Sony XR-55A80L uses a 300×300 mm VESA pattern — 300 mm between hole centers horizontally and 300 mm vertically (about 11.8×11.8 in). Any bracket whose supported range covers 300×300 mm will line up. Confirm on the back panel before ordering, since retail variants of a series occasionally differ.
What size screws does the XR-55A80L need for wall mounting?
The XR-55A80L takes M6 metric screws. Documented length: Sony's 2023 bracket guidance: screw length 8-12 mm from the bracket attachment surface; M6 per the SU-WL855 bracket manual covering the A80L line. A bolt that is too long can bottom out and damage the panel or internals, so verify thread depth on the XR-55A80L with a hand-tightened test screw before torquing anything down.
How much does the XR-55A80L weigh without the stand?
The XR-55A80L weighs 39.5 lb (17.9 kg) without the stand or cables. For a 20% safety margin, pick a mount rated for at least 50 lb. Anchoring matters as much as the rating: at this weight, one properly hit stud is usually enough, but follow your mount's instructions.
Will a 400×400 mount fit the XR-55A80L?
A bracket sold as 400×400-only will not line up with the XR-55A80L's 300×300 mm holes. Most 400×400 mounts, however, support a range of patterns — if the spec sheet lists 300×300 mm, it fits directly. If not, a VESA adapter plate (300×300→400×400) bridges the difference; see our adapter guide.
How far apart are the legs on the XR-55A80L?
The XR-55A80L's feet at their widest position span about 46.6 in across the outside edges. A console at least 49 in wide lets both feet sit fully on the surface (the manual also documents a narrower inner position). Narrower furniture calls for a pedestal stand that bolts into the 300×300 mm VESA holes.
Can the XR-55A80L be mounted on a full-motion bracket?
Yes. At 39.5 lb, the XR-55A80L is within range of full-motion arms rated 50 lb or higher — 5 full-motion mount(s) in our database clear it. Articulating arms add leverage on the wall, so stud anchoring per the mount manufacturer's instructions is more important than with fixed brackets.
