lcd viewing angle for cocktail (tv vs. monitor)
ChanceKJ:
LED TVs are still LCD. They just use LEDs for the backlight instead of CCFL. You can find both LED and CCFL LCD TVs with IPS or TFT displays.

I wouldn't go with plasma. I thought you weren't supposed to have a plasma display on its back.

You're not. Something about the weight of the glass panels and the cell structure of the gas chambers. You'd be hard pressed to find plasma under 40". Not many were made smaller then that.
I agree with an IPS panel. Better viewing angles.
Stick with the CRT if you want an authentic look but don't mind the weight. Go LCD with a scan line generator for a modern approach.
Now, all I need to do if find myself a 27" Dual View LCD with a parallex system so I can build my cocktail.
Felsir:
I have a LED TV in my cocktail and the viewing angle is excellent. The viewing angle for my Samsung 32"LED tv is close to 170 degrees. This is the TV in action in my coffeetable, where the viewing angle is lower than most traditional cocktail cabinets:
