Would What Hifi be prepared to conduct a test of the popular models withstanding an accidental launch of a Wii controller against LCD/Plasma screens to ascertain which is the best of the best, and more importantly could I take part in this experiment?

Two points of advice on this issue:
1) Keep the wrist-strap ON!
2) If it really worries you, buy a 2008 Panasonic plasma - they have toughened glass designed to withstand flying Wii remotes, children's toys etc. I've myself launched a massive steel ball at a set and the screen didn't crack...(DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, VIERA OWNERS!)

She might not get to see this thread. But if she does... oh, boy, good luck, mate ÿ
