1. A method of leveling a television, comprising:

  • receiving accelerometer calibration information and acceleration measurement information associated with at least one accelerometer module;

    comparing the accelerometer calibration information with the acceleration measurement information associated with the at least one accelerometer module;

    determining that a difference exists between the accelerometer calibration information and the acceleration measurement information associated with the at least one accelerometer module;

    determining, via the at least one accelerometer module in response to activating a television leveling module, an angle of orientation relative to horizontal of a television coupled to a horizontal level-adjustable mounting assembly based upon a magnitude of the difference between the accelerometer calibration information and the acceleration measurement information associated with the at least one accelerometer module;

    displaying an indication of the angle of orientation relative to horizontal on a television display, where the indication of the angle of orientation relative to horizontal comprises a first line intersecting with a second line at a point of intersection on the television display, where an angle of the second line relative to the first line forms the angle of orientation relative to horizontal; and

    iteratively updating the display of the indication of the angle of orientation relative to horizontal of the television in response to detected adjustments of the angle of orientation.
