A mounting system(1) for a flat display screen, particularly a plasma displa y screen, suspends the screen separately in each of the x-, y- and z- directions. A series of frames located by linear bearing blocks (17) and isolated by springs and dampers allows separate controlled movement in each axis. The system (1) enables the use of relatively larger display screens in vehicles in which plasma screens are subject to damage from vibration.</SDOA B>
