Maybe you've just bought a new LCD TV and you're considering how to display it in all its glory. Maybe you're just redecorating and thinking of replacing the old and tatty stand currently supporting your pride and glory, the TV. Whatever the reason, you may well be at the point of debating the pros and cons of the TV stand in relation to the TV bracket. This article will help you to make an informed decision as to which is the best option to suit your needs.

Tv Ceiling Brackets
If you're looking for a simple solution to your television display woes, a stand could be the right option for you. Depending on where you purchase your stand from you might find some assembly is required, be sure to check the label before buying, but on the whole this is an easier process than fastening a bracket to the wall.
Make sure you consider the size of the room in which your television is to be placed, because some stands will be happy to take a large proportion of your space. Take some time with your tape measure and become well acquainted with the appropriate corner or wall. Don't assume you'll remember the measurements, write them down. It'll help you to find the right sized LCD TV stand for your particular room.
Stylistically you are likely to find many different TV stands on offer, providing plenty of choice when it comes to finding something to fit with your decor. Glass topped models are particularly common and fit with the majority of rooms.
LCD TV Brackets
If a TV stand is simply too intruding in your room, the LCD wall bracket is an option that is worth considering. The new super-thin LED backlit television sets can be mounted so closely to the TV so as to protrude no more than a large photo frame!
Different types of wall brackets provide additional functionality for your television, such as the ability to tilt and swivel, sometimes by up to 180 degrees. This is incredibly useful if you find your room rearranged for an occasion such as Christmas, with a simple move of the bracket your TV will be visible to everyone once more.
For people that have spent a lot of money on an expensive television, the worry of trips, spills and the like that could cause damage on a stand is removed with an LCD wall bracket. Placing the technology out of the way is a sure-fire way to avoid some awkward and potentially expensive accidents.
Essentially the choice of LCD wall bracket or stand comes down to personal preference. While that's not an overly helpful conclusion, hopefully this article will have prodded you into considering what's really important to you, allowing you to make the decision that will be best for your own television.
