1. A device for mounting an electronic display to a substantially vertically oriented surface, the device comprising:

  • a display interface structure mountable to the electronic display;

    a support structure for rotatably positioning the electronic display about a substantially vertical axis, the support structure including an extendable arm assembly selectively positionable to a plurality of positions, a pivot column defining the substantially vertical axis, and a swingstop post defining a plurality of ranges of rotation of the extendable arm assembly about the substantially vertical axis, each position of the extendable arm assembly corresponding to a range of rotation;

    a tilt head assembly for rotatably positioning the electronic display about a substantially horizontal axis, the tilt head assembly including an attachment member;

    wherein the support structure is operably connected to the display interface structure and the attachment member;

    wherein the support structure comprises an upper bushing and a lower bushing, the upper and lower bushings being operably attached to the extendable arm assembly and pivotally connected to the pivot column; and

    wherein the upper and lower bushings are adapted to engage the swingstop post and thereby inhibit rotation of the extendable arm assembly around the pivot column.
