Default Show me your big tv's

I have just bought a 42" lcd and not sure which way to go regarding mounting it I have kids that like banging their toys against our current rear projection tv,so was thinking of wall mounting it but where do the dvd and sky box go??? if you put them in a cabinet,the kids will climb on it and get to tv what setups have people got ?

regards mark

I store mine on the plasma glass stand that i got with the tv. Then i got the top shelf to put junk on!!! My plasma is then about half a foot above that. I went on the plasma website that deals with all that entertainment stuff and looked for the optimum height that the tv should be.

If you are mounting on a wall with a chimney you can cut out spaces for your other equipment.ie dvd , ps3 or xbox an run cables down chimney. hope this helps mate.
