If we had one on a stand, the cables would go down the back of the stand, right? I might just do that instead. We have to have somehwre to put the DVD player and the Wii anyway, so will need one of those small cabinets nearby - might as well have the TV on a stand on the cabinet thing. As long as the cabinet is smaller than the one we have now, which a big CRT TV sits on, she will probably be happy.
