wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

yeah the wall mount issue is that usually its too high, and I dont like that. screen midpoint should be at eye level.

yaar lcd base is wide but is it deep? the thing is high so where is the center of gravity and then what is the width and depth of stand.

I mean my lcd computer monitor can knocked over so why not tv

so the best of both worlds for me seems to be the type of console i posted so its at eye level and secure..oh yeah and mobile so if I want to change the setting of the room I can.

sigh begum is right.

and hopefully not reading this post

Forget the TV, it makes your eyes square! Get a pwetty wall hanging instead! Yippeeeeeeee

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

abay bhai, take kids to circuit city and ask them to push some TV's sitting on their base ... :D

why not ?

C.G of these TV's are lower than your usual computer monitors ..

just make sure kids dont scratch the screen .. these screens are not scratch proof for some stupid reason

i will put a round cutout in front of tv to keep my pupils round :p

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

how about getting a media entertainment centre with brackets to hook up/mount the TV to it! that's very secure...no way a kid can get that thing to tumble...i searched for it online, but i can't find it...Umar has one, and I had set that up for him about a yr ago...i'll ask him, if he can find a link for it online...

What I have is this:

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0770HDS0010086930&catid=23434&logon=&langid=EN#

Pros: It’s aesthetically pleasing overall ; rock sturdy and allows viewing at eye level

Cons: It doesn’t come with wire management. To overome that, I built my own little backboard with properly positioned apertures for all my components… and since it’s customized, you can’t see a wire.

danx mon, going with the one ai posted above, has wire mgmt and all, plus goes with my decor which is kinda minimalist, clean lines and darkwood

Isn't it time you realized that begum is ALWAYS right? :P

Hey now I always say that I realized you had a knack for making the right decisions when you married me :p

go to bed you insomniac

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

I need a mojito before sleeping, you know my drinking habits :halo:

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

ok-what ad is this dialogue from?

"phir pee ke aagaye?"

"Har waqat TV, TV, TV!"

Do I need to call Pundit Rajesh Maharishi Yoga Master2000 to help with your drinking problem?

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

does he mix good mojitos? :)

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

For some reasons I feel ^ all have to go back to the basic Q LCD is better or Plasma ?
IMO Plasma ! Although LCDs are much cheaper than Plasma but the viewing pleasure would be worth while. (Many sales persons are not quite trained to assit buyers in this regard. One must web search the comparisons with tech info etc such as "crutchfield.com"

After all this is a big tag item so one must get it right first time rather than 'pashtaaying every day'

PS : The weight and footprint for plasma is quite heavy than LCD with same footprint.
the mount is to YOUR taste alone but long width entertainment (low profile) are available in the market)
Remember! You might add few more units to the setup, DVD plyr, Reciever, Cable box, etc
and you need to have neat space for those.

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

I am not going for either Plasma or LCD (both are too fragile) until my little one is 5 years or older as he tends to hit things with every thing he has in his hands or throw things around. I am gonna stick with rock-solid CRT technology for sometime :snooty:

Re: wall mount vs tv stand for an lcd tv

so i got an lcd, just liked it better.
and have a media center that it sits in which has sliding doors which can be closed to keep the tv out of kids reach. will post pics later
