I use a defender box, and up close, 19" is just fine for most games... especially if you're using a monitor rather than a TV. --- End quote --- Well, I do also want to be able to play gun games on it, and just think that 20" might be a little small for that... |

Why do people have misgivings about tilting a tv that size? Because of the weight? Just make sure its well supported and don't tilt it too much. Most cabinets are designed for 27'' TVs and its fine tilting those, I can't imagine a 30'' would make much of a difference. But then I've never tried it, so maybe the others are right. If you don't want to tilt it then a showcase cab is your only option, in which case it will take up quite a bit of floor space. |

I went with a 27" Tv so when I placed it in the machine, the width of the machine could still roll through a doorway to a bedroom or something if I had to move it around. This way I did not have to disassemble the cabinet after it is built to remove the TV before moving the cabinet. * you can find a good 27" TV in your local newspaper classifed ads for about $50 to $100 ..... or at least there are many around me from time to time. |
