1. A combination mounting bracket for an information handling system, the combination mounting bracket comprising:
a main bracket configured to be securely mounted on a display device; and
an adjustable bracket to fit within the main bracket, the adjustable bracket including:
a mounting surface configured to be placed in physical communication with a stand for the display device; and
a plurality of standoffs in physical communication with the mounting surface and with the main bracket, the standoffs configured to transition between an extended position and a compressed position, wherein each of the standoffs is in the compressed position when a stand that is compliant with a mounting standard is connected to the mounting surface of the adjustable bracket and is in the extended position when a stand that is not compliant with the mounting standard is connected to the mounting surface.
 
8. A system comprising:
an information handling system;
a display device; and
a combination mounting bracket including:
a main bracket configured to be securely mounted on the display device;
an information handling system bracket in physical communication with the main bracket, the information handling system bracket to mount the information handling system to the combination mounting bracket; and
an adjustable bracket to fit within the main bracket, the adjustable bracket including:
a mounting surface configured to be placed in physical communication with a stand for the display device; and
a plurality of standoffs in physical communication with the mounting surface and with the main bracket, the standoffs configured to transition between an extended position and a compressed position, wherein each of the standoffs include:
a first portion physically secured to a bottom surface of the adjustable bracket;
a second portion located within the first portion, wherein the second portion retracts to a first position within the first portion when the corresponding standoff is in the extended position and extends from the first position to a second position when the corresponding standoff is in the compressed position; and
a spring located between a top of the second portion and an inner surface of the first portion, wherein the spring is configured to bias the second portion towards the second position.
 
14. A combination mounting bracket for an information handling system, the combination mounting bracket comprising:
a main bracket configured to be securely mounted on a display device;
an adjustable bracket disposed within the main bracket, the adjustable bracket including:
a mounting surface configured to be placed in physical communication with a stand for the display device; and
a plurality of standoffs in physical communication with the mounting surface and with the main bracket, the standoffs configured to transition between an extended position and a compressed position;
a locking mechanism in physical communication with the mounting surface of the adjustable bracket, the locking mechanism including:
a shaft extending through the mounting surface; and
a locking pin in physical communication with the main bracket when the standoffs are in the compressed position, wherein the locking pin is configured to hold the standoffs in the compressed position based on the physical communication between the locking pin and the main bracket; and
a plurality of sliding pins in physical communication with the main bracket and with the adjustable bracket, wherein each of the sliding pins is inserted through a corresponding channel of the main bracket and is physically connected to the adjustable bracket, wherein the sliding pins enable the adjustable bracket to move toward and away from a surface of the main bracket.
