LCD TV stands that were manufactured specifically for a particular model and size TV may not strong or stable enough for the newer models. One of the advantages of the thinner profile LCD televisions is being able to mount them on the wall, but many still prefer to place them on stands that put them in a more comfortable position for viewing.
The new wide screen LCD TVs will not be able to fit into an older entertainment cabinet that was made for the smaller sets. However, most smaller units will fit, with more space above the television than most people are used to seeing. A chest of drawers may be used as a LCD TV stand if it is sturdy and of the right size.
The size of the screen will determine the safest type of LCD TV stands to use with a particular model. It is important that if the TV is 50 inches or more that it be placed on a stand that is big enough to handle it.
Be Sure to get a Very Stable Stand

However, when the television is installed into its stands for the first time, it is a good idea to check and make sure it does not wobble if bumped. Especially if a large screen unit is going to be placed on a carpeted floor, the flexibility of the carpet may cause the unit to tip sue to being top heavy.
Proper care is necessary in the transporting of all LCD televsions due to the delicate nature of the glass sections contain the gas and color. The LCD TV may become inoperable if it falls off the stand. The LCD TV stands should hold the unit securely allowing no opportunity to tip.
Some consumers will not need LCD TV stands if they decide to have their TV mounted on the wall. If the stand is found to be defective or becomes damaged in some way, the manufacturer is the best place to find an exchangement for it.
