Tilt and swivel adjustment of a flat panel display including detents for landscape and portrait positions and a kickout feature for preventing contact between the flat panel display and its base. A stand for the display includes a neck member coupled to the base member and a riser member which is slidable with respect to the neck member. The display is mounted to an upper portion of the riser member via a swivel apparatus which allows a user to pivot the display between landscape and portrait orientations. The swivel apparatus includes a cam and corresponding ramp. When the display is pivoted between the portrait and landscape orientations, the cam and ramp cause the display to be tilted with respect to the stand such that a lower portion of the display is tilted away from the base member, thereby preventing contact therebetween. The swivel apparatus includes a bearing member which is mounted between the display and a portion of the swivel apparatus which is pivotable with respect to the display. The bearing member includes a bearing surface providing a wear-resistant and smooth frictional pivot coupling. The bearing member also includes one or more integrally formed projections, each of which mates with a first corresponding receptacle when the display is in the portrait orientation and with a second corresponding receptacle when the display is the landscape orientation. Thus, the bearing member provides both a bearing surface and detents.
