Abstract
A point-of-sale system includes a monitor and interchangeable bases. The monitor is attached to the interchangeable base using a Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mount. The system may also include a monitor support disposed between the monitor and the interchangeable base, in which case the monitor is attached to the monitor support using the VESA mount, and the monitor support is attached to the interchangeable base. A housing may be used to enclose the VESA mount and the monitor support. A method of displaying point-of-sale information includes providing a monitor and adapting a plurality of interchangeable bases to attach to the monitor using a Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mount. The method may also include disposing a monitor support between the monitor and the interchangeable base, attaching the monitor to the monitor support using the VESA mount, and attaching the monitor support to the interchangeable base.
