A few days ago I was thinking aloud when I commented to Chris that we might replace the main (tube) TV in the coach with a flat screen. That night the TV went poof! Since I used to repair these things for a living at one time, I have good idea what's wrong with it. But I just might take the opportunity to remove all that weight hanging from the ceiling and, at the same time, pick up some much-needed up-front cabinet space.
Any suggestions on type of TV - LCD, plasma, DLP, etc? Seems like it was only a few months ago I was going down this road to replace the large TV at home. I don't know if there are different considerations when selecting a TV for the coach.
The old TV is out, sitting on the floor of the coach. This gave me an opportunity to properly secure the center channel speaker that has threatened to drop off the bottom of the TV cabinet as we bounce down the road. Through bolts with a backing plate are much preferred to wood screws into the bottom of the TV cabinet. Probably some engineer's idea of saving a few cents.
