subject: Tv Pedestal - Your Flat Panel Tv Stand For The Modern Home [print this page] With the advent of flat panel televisions there are a range of completely new options of where and how to site your television. Resulting from this change in TV design, new mounts, brackets and stands have been designed and manufactured.
Thankfully manufacturers have nearly all adopted a standard mounting specification so that most brackets can be considered as universal for a given range of screen sizes, but it is a good idea to check before you buy, so that you are not limited to stands provided by the TV brand only, however this is not a very common problem.
Although digital TV screen sizes are getting steadily larger, fortunately they are also getting thinner and lighter compared with the same size screen of an analogue CRT television. Although the LCD and plasma televisions are relatively lightweight they still require substantial fixings if the are to be wall mounted. As well as fitting the screen size of your TV make sure that the fittings can also safely support its weight, this figure should be available on either the item, its packing box or in the instructions.
Wall mounted TVs can look very stylish and appealing and there are a range of bracket mounts that allow you to put a TV on the wall almost like a photo or painting. Wall mounting does present some problems, how do you hide cable connections going to or from the TV and where are you going to place any other equipment such as cable or satellite boxes, DVD equipment and the like. Therefore wall mounting of flat panel TV screens does require some thought and preparation before the installation.
A stylish alternative to traditional furniture TV stands or wall mounting a television is the TV Pedestal stand, this system uses a single column support with a base, which is usually floor or desk mounted
TV pedestals allow you the greatest flexibility in where you site your flat screen television and often the height of the pedestal can be adjusted to a range of heights, which might not be quite as low as you have previously been accustomed to. It is often more comfortable to have a screen at a higher level than that which TV manufacturers and furniture makers have decided for you in the past. Lie back on your sofa and your head will naturally look quite high on the wall, put the TV there and see how comfortable it feels.
Another feature found in TV pedestals is that you are able to rotate the screen easily, a limited 360 degrees rotation in some cases, for different viewing angles. If you really want an impressive set up there are remote controlled TV pedestals that allow you to adjust height and angle at the touch of a button.
