That's my point, almost. Many become unwatchable from just below - but there is an increasing number of newer, typically dedicated TV LCDs, that remain fully watchable from below. Some but not all Sharp and Samsung offerings have a wide vertical angle (~160 degrees +/-) which will be fine for the purpose - but you do have to check this aspect out thoroughly. FWIW, the Panny widescreen sets have very poor below-horizontal performance.
