What Type of Stand Should I Select?

A TV Cabinet is a piece of entertainment furniture designed to give you access to your components, while providing storage for any items you wish to keep out of sight. Since components will be enclosed, select a cabinet that permits optimum ventilation and accessibility to power sources.

If modern, open concept shelving is more appealing to you, choose a TV stand that is made of metal and glass or has a wood frame with "floating" glass shelves. It allows for advantageous display of your components, while addressing additional considerations such as easy adjustability, ventilation and cable access.

Entertainment centers are available in a variety of sizes and configurations and can be adapted for your existing or future entertainment needs. They combine a number of features, into one unit, eleminating the need for other types of stands, like an speaker stand. Entertainment centers range from compact units that can hold several components to a unit that fills an entire wall.

As the name suggests, a corner television stand fits into a corner of a room. Ideal for a small room or an awkward-shaped space, a corner TV stand can be a great space-saver. They do tend to be more compact than a standard television stand, but many corner TV stands will easily accommodate the larger flat screens.

A swivel TV stand is designed so that the viewing angle of the television can be adjusted as needed. It can have either a top shelf or bottom base that is capable of movement, from limited to a 360 degree swivel. A swivel TV stand is also a good choice for a room that has glare issues or is prone to too much sunlight at a certain time of day.
