50" LED to big for showcase cabinet?
« on: January 28, 2014, 12:17:10 pm »
I have a 50" that I dont have a real need for and was thinking of making a showcase cab.  I couldnt find any examples with a tv that big.  Anyone know of someone who has made one with a big led?

If you're control panel is between 6 to 10 feet away from the TV, that'd be optimal.

For a TV that size, perhaps a pedestal CP is optimal that you can move away from the display.

Agreed. Like mom says "dont get too close to the tv you'll ruin your eyes".

I played on a 42 inch from 4 feet away testing my cp and it was too much for me.

Where do you live, I need a new tv, I will trade you a whole game for that thing.

STOP PRESSURING ME, I'M WORKING ON IT!!!  ;)

Technically a 50" Plasma. But it fits in the cab, so it going in.
