Replacing the TVs

[Pete Masterson]

I don't think it's the electronics. It's the glass... The flat screen
is, basically, a sheet of glass with electronics coated onto it.
Glass does not travel well laid flat. I travel with dual 24" computer
screens. I've had no problems with them due to vibration, etc. They
are on a fixed mounting system, and since they're (designed to be)
very close together, I slip a cushion between them (while on the
road) to keep them for banging each other.
