The display interface includes a pair of spaced-apart vertical mounting assemblies operably coupled by a pair of spaced-apart horizontal assemblies, the vertical mounting assemblies being shiftable relative to each other with the horizontal assemblies. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mounting system for an electronic display, comprising: a wall interface; a display interface; and an arm assembly operably coupling the wall interface to the display interface, the display interface including a pair of spaced-apart vertical mounting assemblies operably coupled by a pair of spaced-apart horizontal assemblies, the vertical mounting assemblies being shiftable relative to each other with the horizontal assemblies; at least one of the horizontal assemblies including a center member, a first slider slidably shiftable on the center member and coupled to one of the vertical mounting assemblies, a second slider slidably shiftable on the center member and coupled to the other one of the vertical mounting assemblies, and a coordinating mechanism operably coupling the first slider and the second slider, the coordinating mechanism arranged such that the first slider and the second slider shift the same distance relative to the center member when either of the first slider or the second slider is shifted on the center member. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mounting system of claim 1, wherein the coordinating assembly comprises a cable operably coupled to the first slider and the second slider. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The mounting system of claim 1, wherein each of the vertical mounting assemblies comprises a center member and a pair of attachment members, the attachment members being slidably shiftable on the center member to alter a length of the vertical mounting assembly. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The mounting system of claim 3, wherein at least one of the vertical mounting assemblies includes a coordinating mechanism operably coupling the attachment members such that the attachment members shift the same distance on the center member when either one of the attachment members is shifted on the center member. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The mounting system of claim 1, wherein the wall interface comprises a first member and a second member, the first member coupled to the second member with a hinge such that the wall interface is foldable. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The mounting system of claim 1, wherein the arm assembly comprises at least one arm having a first portion pivotally coupled to a second portion, the first portion comprising a pair of spaced apart members, each presenting a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of each of the spaced-apart members of the first portion pivotally coupled to the wall interface, the second end of each of the spaced-apart members pivotally coupled to a first end of the second portion, an opposing end of the second portion operably coupled to the display interface, the second portion of the arm being nestable between the spaced-apart members of the first portion when the arm is folded. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The mounting system of claim 6, wherein the arm defines a continuous concealed channel for receiving wires extending from the first end of one of the spaced apart members of the first portion to the end of the second portion operably coupled to the display interface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The mounting system of claim 1, wherein the display interface includes a tilt assembly arranged so as to tilt an electronic display attached to the display interface about a substantially horizontal tilt axis disposed forwardly from the display interface. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The mounting system of claim 8, wherein the tilt assembly enables selective shifting of a location of the horizontal tilt axis relative to the display interface. ### Claim 10 An electronic display system comprising: an electronic display; and a mount for attaching the electronic display to a wall, the mount comprising: a wall interface; a display interface; and an arm assembly operably coupling the wall interface to the display interface, the display interface including a pair of spaced-apart vertical mounting assemblies operably coupled by a pair of spaced-apart horizontal assemblies, the vertical mounting assemblies being shiftable relative to each other with the horizontal assemblies, the electronic display received on the vertical mounting assemblies; at least one of the horizontal assemblies including a center member, a first slider slidably shiftable on the center member and coupled to one of the vertical mounting assemblies, a second slider slidably shiftable on the center member and coupled to the other one of the vertical mounting assemblies, and a coordinating mechanism operably coupling the first slider and the second slider, the coordinating mechanism arranged such that the first slider and the second slider shift the same distance relative to the center member when either of the first slider or the second slider is shifted on the center member. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The electronic display system of claim 10, wherein the coordinating assembly comprises a cable operably coupled to the first slider and the second slider. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The electronic display system of claim 10, wherein each of the vertical mounting assemblies comprises a center member and a pair of attachment members, the attachment members being slidably shiftable on the center member to alter a length of the vertical mounting assembly. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The electronic display system of claim 12, wherein at least one of the vertical mounting assemblies includes a coordinating mechanism operably coupling the attachment members such that the attachment members shift the same distance on the center member when either one of the attachment members is shifted on the center member. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The electronic display system of claim 10, wherein the wall interface comprises a first member and a second member, the first member coupled to the second member with a hinge such that the wall interface is foldable. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The electronic display system of claim 10, wherein the arm assembly comprises at least one arm having a first portion pivotally coupled to a second portion, the first portion comprising a pair of spaced apart members, each presenting a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of each of the spaced-apart members of the first portion pivotally coupled to the wall interface, the second end of each of the spaced-apart members pivotally coupled to a first end of the second portion, an opposing end of the second portion operably coupled to the display interface, the second portion of the arm being nestable between the spaced-apart members of the first portion when the arm is folded. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The electronic display system of claim 15, wherein the arm defines a continuous concealed channel for receiving wires extending from the first end of one of the spaced apart members of the first portion to the end of the second portion operably coupled to the display interface. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The electronic display system of claim 10, wherein the display interface includes a tilt assembly arranged so as to tilt the electronic display attached to the display interface about a substantially horizontal tilt axis disposed forwardly from the display interface. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The electronic display system of claim 17, wherein the tilt assembly enables selective shifting of a location of the horizontal tilt axis relative to the display interface.
