1. An electronic display system mountable on a fixed structure comprising:
- a flat panel electronic display device;
a display interface presenting a display receiving surface and including a pair of slots disposed along an arc of a circle, the circle having a center, wherein the pair of slots are disposed in a generally same vertical plane and on an opposite side of the display receiving surface from the center of the circle, the flat panel electronic display device received on the display receiving surface such that the center of the circle is disposed within the flat panel electronic display device;
a support structure operably coupled with the display interface and comprising a pair of pins, each pin engaged and rollable in a separate one of the slots so that the display interface and the flat panel electronic display device are tiltable about a generally horizontal pivot axis, the pivot axis extending through the center of the circle and oriented generally parallel with the display receiving surface.

Abstract
A self-balanced adjustable mounting system for a flat panel display. When a flat panel display is attached to the mounting system, the display is adapted to revolve about a substantially horizontal axis extending proximate a center of gravity of the display. The system may be self-balancing at a plurality of locations about the axis.
