Can I put a large dinner plate on it and still be able to see the display?

What I do is sort of set the plate back a bit and then I can still see it - If you put the plate on first then turn it on you don't have to use the tare button - it just sets at zero to start!

If I need to use a dinner plate, I just put the scale close to the edge of the counter. The display is angled, so you can sort of stoop down and look under the edge of the plate. It's not made to accommodate large plates but it is possible. With a smaller, salad sized plate, there is very little obstruction at all.

Actually, with more experimenting, I've discovered that you can, by sliding the plate backwards on the scale. It looks a little out of balance, but seems stable enough. I'm going to amend my review to include this, in fairness to Mira.

I usually put items on a piece of cling wrap or a paper towel; a small dish, etc.

If you use this technique you can... place a flat stable item on it, then place the plate. Is it stable? Now, if you can see the display, use those 2 as your tare weight. Take off plate put what you what onto weigh on it put it back on the "stand" and it will give you a true measure just like using a smaller plate!

Largely no, or not without a lot of trouble. The scale is too small, and the display has a very narrow viewable angle. You can finagle a view, as the other answers attest, but you will be annoyed every time that it's so hard to read.

Yes, you can use a dinner plate. I like to use either a piece of saran wrap or waxed paper for things like butter or a small container or dish for other items. Just be sure to Zero the scale after you put whatever you want to weigh in on the scale. You can see how to do that in the video that I made.

Yes, (I just tested it with a 12" plate) but it's not really made for something like that. If you don't have a bowl, get a half-gallon milk container and cut off the top. Don't forget that you will want to tare before you weigh ingredients.

Not much.... A standard dinner plate and a glass are almost too much. It is very narrow. I set it beside myCouch and put my 3 remotes and a coaster on it.....

No. It responds quickly to weight changes. you might raise the object up and use the tare. that way you could see the display.

It's real big display. You will have no problem reading it. That's a reason I bought it too is because of big display. Hope that helps you

Not unless you manually adjust it. It has locking screws to maintain the desired display angle.

I think it will entirely depend on the size and shape of your dinner plates. The bed of the scale is quite large and it's well-balanced. I've had no issue with a variety of different plates and containers.

You should be able to display it without building the bonus arms I believe.

Yes, this buffet will be able to hold that television. Sorry for the late response!

Yes. You just need to change your display to show it. Place your finger on any box and hold it down. A menu will come up and select what you want.

I don't think so. I have a heavy casserole dish on the bottom shelf and smaller dishes and nik-naks on shelves above. I use it for display only. It is very pretty in my living room corner.

You can't really see much. On one I was able to see the plate that goes against the wall.

No, it will not hold a regular size dinner plate. And I was very unhappy with the workmanship. One of the tiers was configured backwards. I sent it back.

Very hard to see it when box is on it, i would suggest one with a separate display (movable corded display) Dan

Unfortunately no. We've resorted to buying TV's which are mountable. We are a CAD user. The large screen works well with our users.

I suppose you could if you fixed the plates and brought them to the table. You may also need to bend over if sitting on the storage cubes.

I am able to see the display from all angles in the bedroom. The only time I would think it may not be visible is if you are standing to the to the very side of the clock.

No, that would require strapping it some how to the unit. It does however allow lying in bed nearly flat to view. The table is highly configurable.
