subject: Modern Flat Tv Stands [print this page] Individuals like to spend time thinking about how the lounge area looks and are likely to invest in nice furnishings to enhance it. In addition it's the room you can impress friends and family with. It's the same when positioning your shiny new HD television. An attractive television stand is a must to go with your TV and room. Flat TV stands are necessary for all types of flat televisions and serve the purpose of holding your TV whether it's a LCD, plasma or even a CRT.
CRT televisions are much bigger in depth compared to flat televisions. Taking consideration to the size of your TV is a good idea before you buy a stand for this type of television. Choosing a stand can be tricky, because you want one that fits correctly and looks good at the same time. Take measurements of your television set including the depth to help you gauge compatibility of a stand.
In contrast, flat screens will fit practically all flat TV stands and old TV stands. You should only need to consider the stand's width and make sure it's as wide as the screen. The reason being is that flat televisions don't have the depth as CRTs and does not need to be taken into account.
Traditional standard screens have the ratio 4:3 whereas newer televisions have a wider 16:9 ratio. It should be obvious that the flat TV stand is appropriately sized to house the screen properly. It's no good placing your new TV costing hundreds on a small stand that puts your flat screen in danger of getting bumped into. What's more, a disproportionately tiny stand does no justice to the beauty of a large flat screen.
So what about the design of the stands? Do flat televisions have more fashionable stands compared to their traditional counterparts? Unsurprisingly, because television sizes have changed, flat TV stands can look a lot different. Modern television stands tend to look more contemporary and even futuristic. Quite often, they are much wider and narrower and even lower since new screens are so wide and tall. Wood is a material that was used for traditional stands, but nowadays glass and metal is used a great deal.
It really doesn't have to be a difficult task to buy the best stand for your TV. Buying the right television stand can help protect your TV, add beauty to your living room and even enhance viewing pleasure.
