A method of installing a display into a wall, comprising:
- opening a hole through a wall such that the wall has two openings, one per side;
- installing a mount into the hole, the mount having a rotating coupling mechanism for coupling a projection display to the mount so that the display can be rotated to face either the first or second opening of the wall, the mount having at least an electrical interface for power connection to the display;
- mounting an outer shell of the display onto the mount, the outer shell having a mirror therein;
- coupling a set rails to the shell, the set of rails adapted for a screen to ride thereon;
- sliding the display on the rails to cover at least a portion of the hole;
- coupling an assembly to the outer shell, the assembly having a power supply, light engine and video processing board, the video processing board having an automatic alignment system;
- and
- installing a front panel with speakers into the hole.
