    Have you considered a wall mount? Can be a bit tricky and expensive with a large tv like 55 inch. And the wall must be strong enough.

    Oh, the wall's solid so that wouldn't be a problem, it's more the price of a mount of that size, plus the fact that if I ever needed to plug or unplug something in it, I'd need to take it down... and get another guy to help me with it. And putting it up and down would be a major pain as the wall isn't free on one side so you can't get close enough.

    Either way though, the TV cabinet will need to be resized and reinforced... plasmas are HEAVY... 45kg for this model. :eek:

    And I thought I'll be done with heavy TVs once I get rid of this old CRT... :shake:

    LED is the way to go; they are light great viewing angles (not as good as Plasma but better than LCD) and are coming down in price now that they have been out for a while now...
