Phew, made it back.
hell of a fire fight.....
old: 50" panasonic plasma, circa 2006
new: 55" LG LED, circa today
bigger screen, but same overall size, which is good, as we do have some constraints either side. wall mounted on a swivel, so Mrs. DAB can angle towards the kitchen if she's baking and watching something. old one was on a fixed base. fairly easy set up, good to go.
