Perhaps a stupid question........... but here goes !
I'm working on my bartop project, and I need to mount the LCD monitor to a piece of wood.
(The wood has slots cut, and I would then have access to the 4 holes)
I was hoping Home Depot (Canada) would have some bolts/screws readily available.
Are they a standard size ?

Assuming it has a VESA mount, it probably uses M4 screws.
Check out the first table here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Display_Mounting_Interface).

Thank you.
I appreciate the info.

If possible, always bring whatever you are trying to fit with you to the store. Go to the giant row of bolts and start testing till you find the size that fits. Then you will know with 100% certainty.
If it's something large that I don't want to take into the store I usually just leave it in my car and bring a handful of bolts out to the car. After I find the right size I just put them all back and buy the size I need.

I'll just try the M4 bolts.
For the $2/3 it would cost I wont sweat it.
The length I guess is the gamble, but I'll add washers,
and spaces if needed. I'm going to go with a shorter screw.
Worst case............. I'll bring in the monitor (as suggested)
and try out a couple options (as suggested).

It's M4 machine screws. I sell them in my shop for my bartop kit customers.
