It's a crazy world out there, and you need to protect the important things in your life -- like your TV. It's a given that a TV's screen size is directly proportional to the amount of joy it produces; but it's a cruel joke that it's also directly proportional to the amount of danger your TV faces from the big, bad world. There are more risks than airborne
Wiimotes and console controllers thrown in frustration. But even non-gamers aren't safe, as the
hyper-realism of HD ups the risk of hooligan-like bottle throwing at your next sporting event (once you remove the sofa covers, that is). Enter TV Armor -- acrylic protection for your plasma or LCD set, available in a range of sizes for $129 (30-32 inches) to $169 (50-52 inches). Anyone getting this probably should complain more about the company they're keeping than the increased glare, though.

I wonder if it will protect my DLP from my friends' kids that come over and touch the life-like HD screen...

Reminds me of those ugly glare reducers they had for CRT computer screens years ago.

"available in a range of sizes for $129 (30-32 inches) to $169 (50-52 inches)." So there's nothing available for sizes between 32-50 inches.

range: the difference between the least and greatest values of an attribute or of the variable of a frequency distribution
In other words... $129 is the lowest priced screen and covers 30 to 32 inches, while $169 is the highest priced screen and covers 50 to 52 inches. By this logic, there is likely at least one screen size between the two. My guess is there would be quite a few between those sizes.
And wouldn't you know it? If you click the link you find your answer.
* 30-32 inches-$129
* 36-37 inches-$139
* 40-42 inches-$149
* 46-47 inches-$159
* 50-52 inches-$169
Sometimes I feel the retards of the world should all be shot on site.

Actually, I think the term is "Shot on sight", but you get my meaning.
At the location seen, or when seen. Either way, they should be shot.

I liked the "site" pun, fits better with "website."

Acrylic is scratch resistant

you've got a few options.
-- about 142 of those cell-phone screen protectors
-- roughly 3 nicely matched strips of saran wrap
-- a thin layer of pam, smoothed out with a microfiber
-- mount screen high enough for dominik hasek to sit beneath it and deflect oncoming debris with his stick
