Tom,
Yes, we still have some clearance on both sides of the TV. The doors swing open without hitting the TV. We will probably uitlize the swing arm alot since it allows TV viewing no matter where you sit on the couch. The reason we chose the Visio is that you can see the picture from any angle. You can "ALMOST" view a clear picture standing behind the TV.

PS - Still alot to do in the new rig. Those wires are one thing I need to tape up.
