No reason not too other than it does scratch with time and cleaning. Ends up not looking so good.

I would think that 6mm toughened would be fine for the bigger monitors. We have a couple of sandies behind 5mm & it's ok, and a pair of smaller lacies (around the 3' mark at this stage) behind 4mm. Avoid the plexiglass, his claws will destroy it in no time flat.
