Abstract
A mounting system for three axis rotational adjustment of a light projector assembly of a projection television, the mounting system having a spherical wall and a spherical bracket slidably engaged with the spherical wall and moveable relative thereto. The wall and bracket coact with one another to rotate the light projector assembly about three axes, thereby restricting movement of the projector assembly to a portion of a spherical path and enabling adjustment of an image generated by the projector assembly on a screen of a projection television to a desired geometry without affecting picture centering.
