I think the smallest plasma is like 32", right? For a standard cab, I think 27" is about the comfortable limit (I have a 27" vert Dynamo).
As far as viewing angles go, where exactly do you figure you're going to be when you're playing the cab, 70 degrees to the side?

Sorry for the double quote - but the LCD I am using is good for at least 45-60 degrees to the side and 6 feet away. I watch movies on it from my work desk across the room from time to time.

Plasmas are good for brightness and viewing range, but anything larger than 27" is too big in my opinion for up close play.

Now, a 50" plasma in a showcase....

The backlight glare isn't caused by the LCD. It's caused by the tinted screen, and backlight glare occurs with tinted plexi whether it's a TV, CRT, or LCD. Also, it doesn't seem to matter if tint is applied as a window tint or ordered from the plexi manufacturer. If your facing it face on - you'll get some backlight glare. What helps with glare is tilting the monitor at a steep enough angle to avoid any head on glare.

There is an angle issue, but the new LCD's aren't bad. I think they are totally acceptable, and I've used LCD's on my last few cabinets with great success.

My driving cabinet had a far tilted CRT monitor, and it looked great with tinted plexi. My Showcase has a monitor that you look at straight on, and it has backlight glare.

@Droler: slice?...hook? I'm not a golfer so I didn't think of that.

Or a 27 inch 4:3 640x480 pixel Plasma. How awesome would that be!
I wonder if you can saw plasma's and LCD's. guess the future of Wells Gardner could be in finding a nice way to slice bigger LCD's and Plasma's to all custom sizes and shapes.
