Many people now own plasma televisions, and this is a great feature for any home and can offer the user a superior viewing experience. Modern plasma televisions are large devices and can be difficult to integrate successfully into a room. However if you choose the right plasma TV stands you will find it much easier to incorporate your television into your living spaces.



Plasma TV stands



There is a wide number of different plasma TV stands available. In fact the choice can be a little overwhelming for many consumers. It can be difficult working out which plasma TV stands would be best for your needs. Here are 5 easy steps to help you choose the right plasma TV stands for your living spaces.



Step 1: Size Matters
Make sure you measure the width, length and depth of the space you have available for your TV stand. Also measure the width of the television itself. Use these figures to help you choose plasma TV stands that will fit the space you have available and your television. You should always check the manufacturer’s guidelines before buying plasma TV stands. These guidelines will tell you useful operation details such as how much weight the stands can support.



Step 2: Height Considerations
The height of TV stands is very important to comfortable viewing. Televisions should be placed at around eye level when you are sitting down. Ask someone to help you measure the approximate eye level for viewers in your room. You can then you this figure to make sure you get a suitable TV stand. Stands that have height adjustment functions will also be useful in case you change your furniture or want to move the TV stand to another room.



Step 3: Additional Equipment
Plasma TV stands can also be used to store your additional television equipment. This can include DVD players and satellite, cable and Freeview boxes. Make sure the plasma TV stands you are looking at can provide enough shelving and space for all the devices you want to store.



Step 4: Ventilation
If you are storing television equipment in plasma TV stands then you will need to make sure they are ventilated (open backs, air flow grills etc). This will allow natural air flow to cool the equipment when it is operation. Devices like DVD players do get warm when in use but as long as they are properly stored and ventilated this should not be a problem



Step 5: Style and Design
Narrow down what plasma TV stands to look for by considering which styles and designs would best suit your room. For example glass TV stands will compliment most modern homes. However they can look out of place in rooms decorated in period styles. You may be much better off with a wooden TV cabinet finished in a more traditional style. This would help your plasma television to integrate more successfully into your room design.

The costs of next generation LCD and plasma televisions are getting lower all the time. However the accessories you need to go with your televisions remain at constant prices. This means you will have to shop around to make the most of your money when it comes to items like a TV stand.



Why do I need a TV Stand?



A TV stand is an essential piece of kit to compliment modern televisions. They serve three important purposes:



• Security – new style plasma and LCD televisions are very lightweight. This combined with their wide, flat screen shape can make them vulnerable to being knocked over. A good TV stand will provide you with a solid structure that will hold your television securely to protect it from accidents and damage.



• Comfortable Viewing – a TV stand can provide you with a way to set up your television at the right height. You can choose from a wide range of cabinet, free standing, adjustable and wall mounting stands. This will ensure you can achieve a comfortable viewing position for you and your family in bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms.



• Storage – modern home entertainment systems can be complex with multiple components. This includes the television itself and additional equipment such as DVD players, set top boxes, speakers and video game devices. You may also have a lot of DVDs and games. TV stands can provide storage space for all the accessories to go with your home entertainment systems. They will also help you to tidy cables out of the way to reduce clutter and prevent trip hazards.



No More Shopping Around
When you buy a new TV stand make sure you take the time to review your options. You will find a great range of TV stands online and some impressive bargains on brand name products. Shopping over the Internet is a fast and easy way to look for a new TV stand that will be suitable for both your room and home entertainment equipment and that means there is no more wandering around all the shops looking for the right thing.



Using TV Stands in the Home



As well as providing storage and secure display space TV stands can also bring a design element to your room. There are lots of different types of TV stands to choose from. This should allow you to pick a suitable design for your room style.



It is important that you make the most of your options when it comes to buying a TV stand. Television equipment can be the focal point of your living spaces. Now that televisions are getting bigger and have so many additional devices storage and display will be a big issue for home design. Your TV stand can help you to integrate home entertainment equipment into your room and ensure it does not impose negatively on living spaces.


Bring Sophistication to Your Living Room with a Glass TV Stand

Do the words “TV stand” bring to mind an image of a basic ugly shape made up of some kind of cheap material? Do they make you think of solid pieces of furniture that take up precious space and fulfil no other function than to provide a resting place for a television? If so, then you should take a look at what’s on the market these days.



Designers in recent years have really started to put some thought into how a TV stand should look, and the role that it should play in modern living. No longer is your television supported by little more than a table on four long legs. These days television stands are pieces of furniture in their own right, and are created by professionals who take pride in their workmanship. These craftsmen understand that people who spend money on a TV stand want it to look good as well as provide a surface upon which the TV can stand.



One of the most elegant materials currently used is glass. A glass TV stand may be in ordinary glass, or black glass, either one of them bringing subtle sophistication to your room. Usually the glass will be complimented by wood or chrome, and the choice of this is what can really set off the rest of the décor in the room. Wood with glass works better in a traditional or country style room, whereas a modern or luxurious room may work better with a chrome and glass TV stand.



If you like the idea of a glass TV stand, but are worried about buying one because you have children in the house, then you should know that these TV stands are made from toughened safety glass and aren’t as easy to break as you might at first think. If you’re still unsure however, you don’t have to have a TV stand that’s mostly made from glass to enjoy the visual benefits. Instead you can have one that uses glass elements but has another material as its main material. The glass component in these TV stands could be doors, drawer fronts or shelves.



Whereas a wood TV stand may seem dated in a room that has an otherwise modern décor, a glass TV stand will enhance the rest of the furniture. If you aren’t wall mounting your plasma TV, a glass TV stand is the perfect choice to show your high tech TV off to its best advantage.
When you’re ready to replace your TV stand, or you want to update the décor of your home, consider a glass TV stand. You might be amazed at the difference it can make to the room.

Television Stands For the Home and Workplace

Television stands offer an affordable and functional way for you to store your television equipment safely and securely. This is an important consideration for homes and offices to avoid damaging expensive electrical items unnecessarily and to ensure that cables are tidied away for health and safety reasons. You can also get lockable television stands that are ideal for open workplaces to ensure that expensive equipment is kept secure when not in use.



Around the Home



Nearly every home has a television these days and these are used with many accessories and additional items such as DVD players, video players, games consoles and set top/cable/satellite boxes. All of this equipment and the associated cables can look very untidy and television stands are used to make sure they are kept organized and out of the way. Television stands also enable you to display the television at an appropriate height for comfortable viewing and you can get many adjustable stands. Wall mounts are also available if you have a flat screen monitor that you wish to display up on the wall out of the way. You do need to be very careful that you have installed wall mounts securely before you mount the television. Although modern televisions are fairly lightweight they can pull badly installed mounts out of the wall and send the television crashing to the floor causing a lot of damage.



Around the Workplace



It used to be common for workplaces to have television equipment which was used to show staff various videos including training tapes, motivational clips and company news. These video clips are now available via computers through forums such as e-learning and Internet/Intranet pages, however some workplaces do retain television equipment as this can be more easily moved around and set up in rooms that do not have Internet and computer connections. Workplaces may also provide televisions for staff to watch during breaks and will need adequate storage and display stands for this equipment.



Television Stand Options



There are a number of options when it comes to television stands. You can buy designs made of a range of materials including glass (the cheapest and most available option), plastic, wood and metal. If you have a very small room then there are some corner TV cabinets available that will fit right back into the corner of the room. These are effective at saving space but may not provide enough room if you have a lot of additional equipment such as DVD players, Blu Ray Players and video games consoles. You can also buy cabinet style televisions stands which are more like regular pieces of furniture and these are typically made from wood. These have front doors which can be closed to hide away the television equipment when it is not in use.

TV Stands UK are now shipping a choice selection of Universal Projector Mounts and Universal Full Rotation and Tilt Ceiling Mount systems from the leading manufacturer Premeir Mounts. All of these products have been carefully selected to provide as wide a coverage as possible to our customers and we are continually striving to expand our range of products and listen to our customers requests.


The range includes a selection of three universal projector mounts including the Mag-Ext, Nova-Ext and Nova-Pro complemented by two TV Ceiling Mount systems, those being the PRT and MS2S products all of which come from the Premier Mounts range and are backed by their industry leading Lifetime Warranty.


The Mag-Ext is aimed at the lighter range of projectors being able to carry a maximum weight of 4.5kg but is still a very versatile projector mount which has a flexible ceiling plate enabling it be mounted in a variety of situations including angled ceilings.


Easily as versatile in the range is the Nova-Ext which is available in black or white finishes and is height adjustable from 11 to 15 inches with a torsion spring mechanism that automatically twists the lower assembly into place. Capable of taking weights of up to 29kg the Nova-Ext Universal Projector Mount can quite happily handle most Projectors on the market today.


Last in the range of Projector Mounts is the Nova-Pro which is still as versatile as the other two when it comes to roll, pitch and yaw and utilises patented Radial Glide technology to ensure that this is as smooth a movement as possible. But has the added advantage of being available with a range of column lengths from 0.5m to 3m for varied height positioning. This Projector Mount comes with the 0.5m column as standard and this centre section can be easily removed to create a low profile ceiling mount.


Finally we have the two TV Ceiling Mount systems for LCD, LED And Plasma TV’s from 15″ upto a massive 61″ screen. Both of these systems are available with a good range of column lengths, again from 0.5m through to 3m.


The PRT Ceiling Mount system is designed for the smaller model TV’s and can support 15″ to 40″ models upto a weight of 36kg, that support the VESA standards of 75×75, 100×100 and 200×200. The Mount point for the TV itself can give you full rotation of 360 degrees and a tilt of +/- 15 degrees which makesit very useful for advertising companies that require portrait or landscape positioning.


The MS2S Ceiling Mount once again can be supplied with varying column lengths and as with the PRT comes supplied with the 0.5m as standard, the main advantages of the MS2S are that it can support the much larger TV’s from 37″ to 61″ with a maximum load capacity of 73kg. The mounting bracket for the MS2S system is also capable of handling TV’s with much greater mount positions, this being from 200×200 VESA min upto 800x505mm max, so as you can see it will support most modern TV ‘s in the ranges specified.
