The monitor apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the base hinge further comprises a hinge shaft extending from the link and rotationally engaging with an inner portion of the base bracket. 8. A monitor apparatus comprising: a main body including a display; a base to support the main body while being fixed to a surface; a link pivotally connected at a first end to the main body and pivotally connected at a second end to the base, the link having a base bracket connected to the base and extending from the second end thereof to provide a restrictive rotating connection between the link and the base such that the main body can be maintained in a vertical position when the surface in which the base is fixed is a horizontal surface and the main body can be maintained in a vertical position when the surface in which the base is fixed is a vertical surface; and a protruding portion protruding along a bottom portion of the link to elastically contact a portion of the base bracket and cause the restricting rotation movement of the link upon elastic contact with the portion of the base bracket. 9. The monitor apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the link further comprises: a hinge shaft extending outward from and perpendicular to the second end of the link to engage with the base bracket. 10. The monitor apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the base bracket further comprises: a rod supporting portion to rotatably support the hinge shaft; and a rotation restricting supporting portion that applies a force to the protruding portion during predetermined angles of rotation of the link with respect to the base bracket to restrict movement of the link. 11. The monitor apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the rotation restricting supporting portion comprises: a rotation restricting portion that applies force against the protruding portion to restrict movement thereof; and an elastic member to force the rotation restricting portion toward the protruding portion. 12. The monitor apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the protruding portion comprises: a first stopping portion that engages the rotation restricting portion when the link is rotated a predetermined distance in a direction toward the base; and a second stopping portion that engages the rotation restriction portion when the link is rotated such that the first stopping portion has passed over the rotation restricting portion and the link is parallel with the base, the second stopping portion restricting the link to remain parallel with the base. 13. The monitor apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the rotation restriction supporting portion further comprises a shaft pin that extends through the rotation restricting portion at both ends, and the elastic portion comprises two springs, each spring applying a force to a respective end of the shaft pin to force the rotation restricting portion toward the protruding portion. 14. A monitor apparatus comprising: a main body including a display; a base to support the main body with respect to a resting surface; a link connected at a first end to the main body and including a base hinge at a second end rotationally connected to the base such that the main body can be maintained in a vertical position when the base is installed on either a horizontal resting surface or a vertical resting surface; and a mounting bracket to fix the base to the vertical resting surface having a first bracket including: plural through holes in which screws extend through to fasten the first bracket to the vertical resting surface, and plural hook holes; and a second bracket including: plural through holes in which screws extend through to fasten the second bracket to the base, and plural hooks to engage with the hook holes to connect the first bracket with the second bracket. 15.
