In our repair work this is a rare occurence but I have seen it mostly on 60" 4:3. With 16:9 you are going to be more susceptable due to the increased width. You can't have a center support. All they really can do is beef up the top where it meets the screen frame or incorporate the frame into the top which creates service problems. 55" and larger will probably be susceptable to this problem. I have a 65" and it is not warped with a roughly 20 pound center SPKR.

The best thing to do if you have to have the equipment on it is...

Buy a board that is stable and difficult to warp and put it on the top. Put the heavy stuff on the sides and the light stuff in the middle.
