VERY good product, works on glass and wood stands, it can even be attached to the wall if you have an unsutable stand.

That's a great product,
My concern was sticky finger prints, and toppling plus I had my speakers on stands filled with lead shot alongside and none of it was secured ie. Speakers just sat on the stands.
My solution was to mount the tv on the wall above the radiator having first put a cover over the rad with heat reflective insulation inside the rad cover to force the heat out the front not allowing any to escape up into the rear of the tv.
I then mounted the speakers on top of the rad cover either side of the tv held down with velcro strips which are stapled in.
The sky box,ps3, amp, and pre amp fit under the sofa after I modified the feet of the sofa to give enough clearance for cooling.
Its working fine and is very neat plus the centre of the tv is only about 25cm above the centre line of my vision so completely fine to watch without neck ache. The speakers are also at ear level which works out great to. The sub unit is floor mounted and is solid enough not to cause any issues.
Hope that helps

Yup, it was only brought to my attention today on a training course, needless to say i will be filling my van up with those and mentioning it to every customer i go to.
As for sticky fingerprints then i find a good slap on the back of the head does the job
seriously though, mine is on the wall and still falls victim to it.

I am thinking of getting a new LCD TV but I have 17 month old twins at home who love to hit everything. How to people protect their TV?
We used to call it "discipline" or "teaching them wrong from right".hman said:
Yeah because telling a 17 month old not to do something has a 100% success rate. The victorians called, they want their parenting skills back.
To be fair, that's what should happen. Not the first time, but with constsant reinforcement they'll get the message. My kids are a bit older than that now, but even when younger, they understood that they were going to get shouted at if they messed with the TV 
but its never 100% guaranteed, if they really feel like being naughty they will do it when you are not looking or when you have left the room for two seconds and you may not even notice them doing anything.
Prevention ( ie. moving the set away from them) is always going to be easier than policing.

Yes, but it's the period when they still haven't got the message which is the problem. At the moment my son takes no notice whatsoever when I tell him 'no' because he just doesn't really have a sense of consequence yet. The trouble is "no" is just a word, and inherently not scary. So follow up the word no with a good beating, to reinforce the concept that no = bad s
t for them!
I am of course joking and would never condone physical violence against a child. Liberal nambipambiness is much better
no really i am kidding ok!
