A flat panel display wall mounting system includes a wall plate assembly connected to a flat panel display mounting rack assembly. The wall plate assembly and the mounting rack assembly are able to be separated to facilitate mounting on a wall. Specifically, the wall plate assembly may mounted on a wall and leveled, while the mounting rack assembly may be attached to a flat panel display while still on the ground. The flat panel display may then be hung on the wall plate assembly. A pitch assembly is provided to adjust the pitch of the flat panel display once hung on the wall plate assembly. A pin connection mechanism is provided to enable the mounting rack assembly to be pivoted out from the wall plate assembly so that the rear area of the flat panel display may be accessed for servicing while the flat panel display is mounted on the wall mounting system.
