Television display leveling
First Claim
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.

Abstract
A television leveling module determines, using at least one accelerometer module in response to activation of the television leveling module, an angle of orientation relative to horizontal of a television coupled to a horizontal level-adjustable mounting assembly. An indication of the angle of orientation relative to horizontal is displayed on a television display. The display of the indication of the angle of orientation relative to horizontal of the television is iteratively updated in response to detected adjustments of the angle of orientation. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
