(OLEDs, a newer type of self-illuminating display, are a topic for another discussion).
LCD mounting is an often unthought of aspect when it comes to display integration and design. While VESA standard mountings were defined by the display industry to create a practical system of materials and measurements, more and more designers are finding ways to integrate their displays in unique and elegant ways.
