Default What height is your flat screen TV?

I was getting ready to mount it on the wall and realized that needed to run
out to get some toggle bolts. I didn't want to leave the TV on the floor
just in case the dogs got curious, so I put one hand on the bottom and one
on the top to lift it onto the couch.

It felt like an electric shock went through my arm. The tendon popped off
of my elbow and rolled up into my upper arm.



I think all flat screens should have warning labels. "DO NOT LIFT FROM
BOTTOM WITH ONE ARM" Manufacturers should be required to put handles on
the top and have cushions if they fall over. In addition, every set
ever made should be recalled and retrofitted with these important safety
devices. Its for the children.
