Plasma TV Stand - Fact and Fiction

What is so special about plasma TV stands? They have come a very long way from a design point of view. It seems the stand is now equally as important as the television itself. It's also become a fashion icon in it's own right. Let's explore the facts and fiction surrounding this amazing piece of furniture.

Fact: At one time people purchased the television then they chose the right stand to go with it.
Now Clients are actually buying the stand and then choosing the right television to go with it.
That's a huge turn around for a small piece of furniture!

Fiction: Whilst on my shopping trip wandering around the local high street looking for the ideal stand many retailers tried to sell me the more expensive range of Plasma TV stands by saying they actually improve the overall entertainment factor. It was often mentioned that because of the style of the TV stand and the way it blends in with the Television style and it's surroundings , it will actually give you a better viewing experience. In reality this is not true because once the film starts and the lights are dimmed we are all focused on one thing and that's the television.

Fact: The corner TV stand has definitely proved to be the one of the most effective pieces of furniture you could buy ! It not only gives you the opportunity to situate the television in an ideal location for all viewers to see regardless of where they are located in the room but it also manages to fill a space of the room, the corner, which is a very difficult task when thinking about interior design.

Fiction:When looking for advice many people mentioned that It's better to buy a plasma TV stand from a high street store because you can see exactly what it is you are buying before you buy it. This could have been the case before the birth of the e-commerce store as you wouldn't buy something over the phone or via the post without actually seeing it. However today most online websites are so well designed and explicit in their detail that you can truly see what it is you are buying before you buy it . Most online shopping stores also offer a great service when it comes to quick delivery and return of goods if the customer is not satisfied.

All four points that I've mentioned above are based on my own experiences during the process of buying my 52" plasma TV and the ideal plasma TV stand to match it.
