Maybe it’s just because I am getting older, but for the life of me, I can’t seem to grasp the idea of watching a movie or favorite television show on a small, handheld television set. I saw a guy on the bus the other day who must have been in his twenties and he was watching an episode of Dexter on a very small screen. I could hardly make out the image and wondered if the guy suffered from headaches or eye-strain because of the small screen. Maybe I’m old fashion, but give me a large TV screen any day.

Glass television stand
Glass has the distinctive advantage of fitting in to any decor. Its lack of color makes it an ideal choice for anyone who wants a piece of furniture that will integrate itself seamlessly with the color palette of a room. There are several models of TV stands made of glass, and one of them is sure to be the one for you.

Wooden television stands
Just because a TV stand is use to hold electronic devices such as DVD players, amplifiers and speakers, doesn’t mean the stand itself cannot have classic beauty. This is the advantage of wood. Wooden stands have a lasting beauty, no matter what is placed on them. And they help balance out your decor, so that it is not too modern looking.

Plasma television stand
When looking for a television stand, it is not necessary to look for one that is specifically for plasma tv’s. Plasma stand work just for LCD’s or any other type of flat screen television. The important factors are wheter the stand can support the weight and the size of your TV.

LCD television stands
When buying a TV stand, the same guidelines apply to LCD’s as to plasma, or any other type of flat screen television: Make sure the stand is made to support the weight of your set, and if it is a stand with an incorporated mount, make sure it can handle the size.
