A device and method for arranging a display allows for the easy installation of a display in a home entertainment system. The flexibility of modern home entertainment/theater systems that include a digital display device permits many different installation options. Thus, the invention facilitates the installation of such a display by aligning a viewing screen with a projector device. Moreover, the invention allows the installation of a flat panel display, such as an LCD or PDP, at a proper viewing angle.

What is claimed is: 1. A removable display device installation apparatus, comprising: a floor stand surface that supports the installation apparatus on a supporting surface; and a display support surface coupled to the floor stand surface that supports a bracket above the supporting surface, wherein the display support surface is substantially parallel to the floor stand surface, and wherein the display support surface aligns a bottom surface of the bracket on a plane substantially parallel to the supporting surface. 2. The removable installation apparatus of claim 1, wherein the removable installation apparatus is removed from supporting the bracket or display device after installation. 3. A method of mounting a display device on a wall, comprising: placing an installation apparatus on a supporting surface to align the installation apparatus on a plane substantially parallel to the supporting surface; providing a bracket structure adapted to receive the display device coupled with the installation apparatus; and mounting the display device onto the bracket to secure the display device to the wall, the wall being substantially perpendicular to the supporting surface, wherein an edge of the display device is substantially parallel to the supporting surface. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the installation apparatus and the bracket structure are separate elements that are removably couplable to each other. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the installation apparatus is connected to the bracket structure. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the installation apparatus and the bracket structure are formed integrally as a unitary structure. 7. A method of mounting a display device, comprising: placing an installation apparatus on a supporting surface to align the installation apparatus on a plane substantially parallel to the supporting surface; providing a bracket structure adapted to receive the display device coupled with the installation apparatus; mounting the display device onto the bracket to secure the display device to a mounting surface substantially perpendicular to the supporting surface; and removing the installation apparatus so that it does not support the bracket structure or the display device, wherein an edge of the display device is substantially parallel to the supporting surface, wherein the installation apparatus and the bracket structure are separate elements that are removably couplable to each other, and wherein the display device is mounted securely to the mounting surface so that the installation apparatus is not needed to support the display device above the supporting surface. 8. A display device installation apparatus for mounting a display device on a wall, comprising: a bracket adapted to receive a display device and adapted to be mounted on a wall; and a floor stand coupled to the bracket, wherein the floor stand is substantially parallel to the bracket. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein: a display device is mounted onto the bracket to secure the display device to the wall, the wall being substantially perpendicular to a supporting surface of the floor stand, and an edge of the display device is substantially parallel to the supporting surface. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the floor stand and the bracket are separate elements that are removably couplable to each other. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the floor stand and the bracket are formed integrally as a unitary structure. 12. A display device installation apparatus, comprising: a bracket adapted to receive a display device; and a floor stand coupled to the bracket, wherein the floor stand is substantially parallel to the bracket, wherein the floor stand and the bracket are separate elements that are removably couplable to each other, wherein the floor stand is removed so that it does not support the bracket, and wherein the display device is mounted securely to the mounting surface so that floor stand is not needed to support the display device above the supporting surface.
