Match the angle the top-front of the cab is cut at with the shelf so that they meet at a 90 deg angle. Then your shelf will match up with the cp to form a point, like the peak of a roof. This makes for a very nice finish and the proper angle at which the tv was intended.
: I am about to put the TV in my cab and I have one last concern before mounting the shelf. What is the greatest angle it can sit at without picture distortion, be it immediate or over time. I have built my cab by Lusid's plans, and I had planned at mounting it at the same angle as the sides panels. I have heard about discoloration in the cornors of the TV if it is angled, but how much of an angle? Not that it should matter, but its an 1998 RCA 25" with S-Video. Any input is appreciated, especially if you have had an angled TV in your cab or 1-2 years. Thanks.
