Though this idea looks very cool I’m afraid that it wastes space, shows the connection cords and is a step backwards towards the soon to be obsolete deep “tube” TV’s first made back in the 50's. Plus the angle is off. I thought the reasoning behind a flat screen was to omit the space behind the set??

No wheels though and I used a router to make a groove in the rear leg to chase cables up to the screen from the PC. To fix the vertical axis (and reduce glare) I picked up two wood screw clamps and fixed the back jaw to a 24" beam made from 1" by 2" then drilled and inset the collar bolt for a worm screw which feeds through a matching 8" long 1" by 2" spanning the forward legs. Who knew? I thought this was old hat given how many LCD picture frames ship with flimsy plexi-glass easels for the desk, not sure if I'd be comfortable with doing the same for a set larger than 42" though.
