Claim:
1. A video monitor assembly comprising: a bezel assembly coupled to a passenger seatback, wherein the bezel assembly comprises a monitor and a bezel, wherein at least a first end of the monitor is coupled to the bezel via low load fasteners and a second end of the monitor is coupled to the bezel via high load fasteners; wherein the bezel is shaped to form an open area that extends between a rear surface of the monitor and a surface of the passenger seatback; wherein the low load fasteners have a lower tensile strength, which causes the low load fasteners to shear or fail when subjected to a load of more than approximately 2000 lb; wherein the high load fasteners have a higher tensile strength, which allows the high load fasteners to withstand a load of more than approximately 2000 lb without shearing or failing; and wherein the first end of the monitor uncouples from the bezel and rotates into the open area toward the passenger seatback while the second end of the monitor remains connected to the bezel when a load of more than approximately 2000 lb is applied to the monitor.
