Just wanted to share my home built table with tournament screen built in. It's finished with maple and walnut, with mini suited speed cloth and vinyl rails. Screen runs tournament director with customizable layout so you can see the blinds from all directions.

 
So cool an idea. Like many, I'm not a fan of racetracks (or cup holders in the play surface), and I think the glass in the middle of the table would tilt me to no end (as chips land on it). That said, if this is your thing, then you pulled it off amazingly well. I always love when folks integrate screens into things, like the TV's that hide behind the bathroom mirror until you turn them on. :)

Well done.
 
Amazing craftsmanship! The only thing that I would change if I was doing it myself and wanted screens would be to mount little phone sized screens in front of each players spot rather then one big screen in the middle. Otherwise that's really a cool idea. :)

In an dream world, the light up rail would have a display (similar to sports arenas) with a running info on the game... Huh?

Glass in the middle plays no different than a lot of casinos having the shuffler and seat checkin machine for casino cards on the table. If u play in casinos that have those perks, this is basically the same amount of real estate taken up
 
Great idea!

What's the visibility of the screen from the corners (seat 3, 8)?

Visibility is pretty good from all seats, I used an led with a very high viewing angle and also used colors that display well when view in the wider range.

Yah, I know what you mean... but interestingly enough, it doesn't interfere with the chips and cards as much as you might think. It was designed to fit perfectly flush with the felt, so cards glide right over it and its far enough in chips don't really land on it much. Occasionally if it needs cleaned a card may slow down or stick to it during dealing, but typically it doesn't interfere at all.
