Abstract
A flat panel display unit can be adjusted with respect to the bezel in which it is mounted so as to provide an optimal viewing angle from wherever the user chooses to locate himself or herself. Four servos located behind the flat panel display unit shift the angle of the display unit with respect to a bezel in which the display unit is supported and moveably mounted. A remote control unit controls the servo system.
