LCD TV Stands- How To Choose The Right One
March 4th, 2010
Most new LCD televisions come from the factory equipped with LCD TV stands to hold the television upright on a flat surface. LCD TV stands that were manufactured specifically for a particular model and size TV may not strong or stable enough for the newer models. These newer, and very thin LCD televisions mount nicely on the wall, although some opt for eye level viewing and place them on a stand.
Due to the wide screen format of most LCD TVs, they usually will not physically fit into a traditional television spot in an entertainment center. Most of these units come in a common size that will generally fit most LCD TVs. A chest of drawers may be used as a LCD TV stand if it is sturdy and of the right size.
LCD TV stands have to be in a corresponding size to the television that is being considered. Many of the larger screen, above 50-inches, will probably be safer on a long, slender stand instead of two small foot-shaped stands or one that swivels, allowing the screen to be turned for better viewing.
Be Sure to get a Very Stable Stand
Most LCD Flat Panel TV stands are built specifically for a particular model TV and will be able to safely keep it in place. However, when the television is installed into its stands for the first time, it is a good idea to check and make sure it does not wobble if bumped. It is recommended that this type of TV be placed on a rigid, flat surface rather than a carpeted floor where it could possible tip over.
All LCD televisions should be handled with care as the screen is actually two thin pieces of glass holding the gas and color generators inside. If the LCD gets bumped causing it to tumble of the stand it could become permanently damaged. The LCD TV stands should hold the unit securely allowing no opportunity to tip.
There are a few wall mounted flat screen TV’s where LCD TV stands are not necessarily required. If the stand is broken, go to an authorized dealer to excange it for a new one.
