Abstract

A method of positioning a monitor frame using a counter-balanced hinging mechanism coupled to the monitor frame and seating a display monitor within the monitor frame includes rotating the monitor frame into an approximately horizontal orientation using the counter-balanced hinging mechanism, where the counter-balanced hinging mechanism may include at least one arm linkage assembly, and at least one bias member coupled to the at least one arm linkage assembly. The method also includes aligning an outer edge of the display monitor with an inner surface of the monitor frame, translating the display monitor to a seated position within the monitor frame, and rotating the monitor frame into an approximately vertical orientation using the counter-balanced hinging mechanism.
