1. A video conference endpoint comprising:
- a frame including a central section, a first side section, and a second side section, wherein the first side section and the second side section are disposed on opposite sides of the central section and each of the central section, the first side section, and the second side section includes an upper portion and a lower portion configured to support the upper portion a distance above a ground surface;
a first side display, a central display, and a second side display; and
a display mounting system comprising;
a mounting mechanism configured to attach the first side display to the upper portion of the first side section of the frame, attach the central display to the upper portion of the central section of the frame, and attach the second side display to the upper portion of the second side section of the frame; and
an adjustment assembly comprising;
a first adjustment mechanism configured to engage and vertically move a portion of the first side display proximate an outer edge of the first side display, so that the first side display rolls about a z-axis of the first side section of the frame with respect to the central display and aligns an inner vertical edge of the first side display with an adjacent vertical edge of the central display; and
a second adjustment mechanism configured to engage and horizontally move the portion of the first side display in order to move the outer vertical edge of the first side display into alignment with the frame.
