Where To Put Your Plasma or LCD TV

Get a good stand. You need to consider the obvious things like sharp corners and if it matches your room decoration but also this as well.

Is the stand physically suitable? I.e. Is it strong enough, wide enough, deep enough and stable enough. Most importantly get a stand that is either supplied specifically by the manufacturer or a stand that specifically states your TV size/weight as being suitable.

Not only because you don't want to be woken up by a fifteen hundred pound crash in the middle of the night or of course have any of your family injured but because your insurance company will not pay out that amount of money without a home visit. And they will look for any way to avoid paying you. If the stand is not specifically and categorically suitable they will almost certainly deem it was used negligently or was not damaged during normal use.

As an aside I was at a conference to do with electrical equipment and the speaker made a joke. He was using the joke to get across to his audience how a large screen TV is the pride and joy of many homes and is replacing the fancy HI-FI as the item to get better than 'the Jones'. But he asked this question(he asked it. I am not asking it). “If your 3 year old was falling off the TV stand at the same moment as your 42 inch LCD (or Plasma) and you could only catch one thing! What would you catch?”

Now I am sure all you family guys are saying, “stupid question” but ask somebody with a shiny new 52 inch Sony Home Cinema and see there eyes look upwards towards there forehead. This is a sign that they had to think about it. Maybe only for a brief moment, but they DID have to think about it.
