Yup every plasma box I have ever seen says 'keep upright' the weight of the
unit or gravity will cause the glass to crack if you lay it
down...'apparently' ??

Many thanks

I'd be wary about rotating a plasma downwards - the screen is a large sheet
of fairly thin glass which is unsupported in the middle ... Too much
opportunity for the screen to break under its own weight for my liking.
