[QUOTE="SilverBalls, post: 21455, member: 340"] I think the reason over the years for people not to use them has been the weight, heat, and thickness of the panel. With all the wood, computer, legs, glass, etc. in a virtual pin they are extremely heavy even with a LCD. Also you do occasionally have to remove the screen for maintenance and upgrades and a Plasma would be quite a pain to move. The viewing angles of the LCDs/LEDs are usually extremely good nowadays. I have never had a problem with the 42" LG LCD I use, but I did a lot of investigation before I purchased - mostly tilting the head to one side in shops :) For anyone planning a build I recommend you do a lot of reading over at VPForums nd the Hyperpin Cabinet forums. EDIT: One thing to add.... Most people de-case the screen so maybe a plasma is trickier or there is more danger in this - although I am not totally sure. [/QUOTE]
