A display apparatus, comprising:
- a panel bearing a screen disposed to display varying visual images;
- a panel support holding the panel;
- a bezel framing a front periphery of the panel;
- a rear cover removably mating with said bezel while encasing said panel held by said panel support;
- at least one rib formed to project from a peripheral surface of a first one of the bezel and the rear cover;
- at least one deformable coupling bearing a groove, extending from an inner surface of a different one of the bezel and the rear cover, oriented to embrace a correspond rib during said mating, wherein the rib is inserted in the groove;
- and
- at least four stops disposed to be adjacent to four corner portions of a rear surface of the bezel, and protrude from said rear surface of the bezel to engage the panel support and prevent the panel support from moving across a plane of the panel, wherein a hook is formed at a leading edge of each stop for engaging an edge of the panel support, and the edge of the panel support is formed with a projection allowing the hook of each stop to overlap the projection to support the engagement of the hook and the edge of the panel support.
A display apparatus, comprising:

- a bezel framing a front periphery of the panel;
- a rear cover removably mating with said bezel while encasing said panel;
- at least one rib formed to project from a peripheral surface of a first one of the bezel and the rear cover;
- at least one deformable coupling bearing a groove, extending from an inner surface of a different one of the bezel and the rear cover, oriented to embrace a corresponding rib during said mating, wherein the rib is inserted in the groove, with one said coupling disposed at each corner portion of the first one of the bezel and rear cover;
- and a corresponding said rib disposed at each corner portion of the different one of the bezel and the rear cover;
- at least four stops disposed to be adjacent to four corner portions of a rear surface of the bezel, and protrude from said inner surface of the bezel to engage the panel and prevent the panel from moving, wherein a hook is formed at a leading edge of each stop for engaging an edge of the panel, and
- a plurality of support ribs protruding from the rear cover so as to contact each stop to force the hook of each stop toward the edge of the panel to support the engagement of the hook and the edge of the panel.
