In the display screen apparatus and method of the present invention, a hub or other extension coupled to a display screen is received within an aperture in a body portion (preferably of a screen housing) for sliding, rotation, or both sliding and rotation. A gasket is employed to permit a user to place and hold the display screen in a range of sliding and/or rotational positions with respect to the body portion. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the display screen has a screen backing from which the extension extends. Also preferably, the extension is in the form of a hub connected to the screen backing and having an aperture through which screen wiring passes from the display screen into a screen housing. In one preferred embodiment, the gasket is held between a surface of the screen housing and a compression member. Most preferably, the gasket is compressed to an extent sufficient to cause frictional engagement of the gasket and to thereby hold the display screen in desired positions and orientations. The aperture in the body portion preferably permits translation and rotation of the display screen with respect to the screen housing. To limit rotation of the display screen, such as to prevent over-rotation of the display screen in the same rotational direction, the body portion of the screen housing preferably has a stop member which obstructs certain movement of a limit member coupled to the hub.
