The Right stands for a 42 Inch LCD TV

Summary by Amy Metz, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

If the manufacturer furnishes your 42 inch LCD TV stand, and it meets your needs in terms of styling, you’re in great shape. Because a 42 inch LCD TV is reasonably heavy, the most important requirement is that any stand must handle the weight of your particular 42 inch LCD TV and must provide a stable base in case it’s bumped or jarred. For that reason, make sure the stand you purchase meets the unique weight and strength requirements of the 42 inch LCD TV you purchased. The owner’s manual for your 42 inch LCD TV will specify all the requirements of a suitable and effective TV stand for that model.

If you own a DVD player, use a cable converter, have game systems like an Xbox or a PS2, and/or have a home theater system, you may want your stand to house that equipment as well as support the 42 inch LCD TV itself.

1. Determine if the stand will position your TV at an optimal viewing height. The height of the TV is an individual choice – make sure the stand you select will place your 42 inch LCD TV at the height you want. If not, determine the right height for you and select an appropriate height stand. Once you’ve determined eye level, make sure your 42 inch LCD TV will be centered at that point. Some pedestal stands are adjustable; if you don’t need storage space, check out a pedestal stand.

2. Check to see if the stand has integrated cable management. If you’re buying a cabinet with a closed back, cable management probably isn’t an issue, since you’ll have plenty of space to hide cables. The stand shouldn’t just house your 42 inch LCD TV – it should handle all the cables and components, too.
