TV stand with mounting bracket

Flat screen TV’s usually come with a pedestal stand, so why would one want a stand with a mounting bracket? One of the answers is style. Having the TV mounted gives it a sleeker look, and a more cinema-like look. The other answer is space. The fact that your TV isn’t resting on top of the stand means you can use this space for other things.
