Abstract
Systems and methods for providing wall mount systems for personal entertainment devices (PEDs) or other display devices that allow for replacement of older, expensive, obsolete, and/or heavy aircraft monitors with improved PEDs (e.g., tablets). A wall mount system may include a PED holder that securely and removably attaches to a docking base that is installable on a surface (e.g., wall of an aircraft cabin). The docking base may include one or more connectors or ports that provide at least one of power and/or data transfer capabilities. The PED holder removably holds a PED therein, and is removably attachable to the docking base via a quick release connector that does not require any tools to operate. The PED holder includes circuitry that allows the PED to be electrically coupled to the one or more connectors or ports of the docking base when the PED holder is attached to the docking base.
