1. A mounting system, comprising:
a flat panel television; a mounting structure; and at least one mounting bracket, the at least one mounting bracket including:
a mounting contact portion having a mounting contact surface configured to operatively attach to the flat panel television, the mounting contact portion having a longitudinal length and defining a longitudinal axis,independent and separated first and second side portions extending substantially perpendicular from the mounting contact surface, the independent and separated first and second side portions each coupled to the mounting contact portion along the longitudinal length of the mounting contact portion, the first side portion being substantially parallel to the second side portion, wherein the mounting contact portion, the first side portion and the second side portion cooperate to form a channel, andfirst and second substantially parallel ramping surfaces extending away from the mounting contact portion and disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, the first and second substantially parallel ramping surfaces each defining an incline and terminating proximate respective first and second hooks, the first and second hooks configured to accept a first retaining mounting structure portion of the mounting structure, wherein each of the at least one mounting bracket defines a receiving region extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, the receiving region configured to receive, proximate the first and second hooks, the first retaining mounting structure portion, and wherein the first and second substantially parallel ramping surfaces are configured to contact the first retaining mounting structure portion to indicate a misalignment between the at least one mounting bracket and the mounting structure, and wherein the mounting contact portion, the first and second side portions and the first and second substantially parallel ramping surfaces are integrally formed as a single piece of material. |
