Anybody ever hear of some kind of cover that protects the screen when it's not in use? I'm thinking of getting a 50" plasma and I have two kids under 5 years old. I'm confident I can keep them away from it when I'm there, but when they're being watched by their grandmother or somebody else I can't be sure a lego won't bounce off it at high velocity.

I'm thinking some kind of heavy mat, that could be hung from the top of the set? Anybody ever hear of such a thing?

Just get you old lady to sew something up, with some heavy material.

I think some quilted material would do the job. I haven't seen any commercial solution. Interesting.

I use posterboard from the office supply store. Plastic bolts attach round plastic hooks which fit over the top edge of the display. The hooks are cut from pipe-hangers bought at a hardware store. A bit a wood connects the hooks and the bolts.

The posterboard does not cut very neatly; I cover the edges with white duct tape.

This was originally for cat-proofing the screen; I had a cat who liked to scratch vertical glass surfaces. It keeps the dust off, too.

How about one of those quilted moving blankets?

Yeah I'm sure I could come up with something like that - I was just wondering if there was something out there already. Maybe something with some kind of leather cover that looked nice.

There is something that may work. Try TV Armor (http://www.tv-armor.com/).
