When you buy a TV you usually don’t plan to change it in one year or so. A TV is looked at as a middle-range investment… and correctly. And an LCD TV should also fulfill this criterion. It should last for at least 4 to 6 years and this is a conservative estimation. In fact, the life span of a plasma TV is higher than that.
This alone is a reason should be reason enough not to look for overly cheap LCD TV stands. This would be money thrown into the street. You wouldn’t achieve anything useful most of the time. The look of those cheap or discount LCD TV stands is most of the time esthetically awfully tasteless. And the quality… let’s not even talk about it.
If there is something I learnt in my life, then it’s that premium high quality is priceless. I am not talking out of theory even if the theory agrees. It’s the practical experience.
Whenever I bought a high quality item I could use it until I would have forgotten when and where I bought it because of the monstrous life span these things have, and this certainly applies for plasma LCD TV stands.
Moreover, only premium LCD plasma TV stands will give your 46 inch, 52 inch or even 103 inch LCD TV the distinctive stylish look that will distinguish you from the mass. I don’t say that money is art but most of the time, only deluxe items deliver on their promises when it comes to esthetic.
Nevertheless, if you shop around and know what exactly you are looking for, then you might find a hidden gem. But this would be the exception that confirms the rule. And in order to make this exception happen, you should have a good idea about LCD TV stands furniture and know the characteristics of the sought item both in technical and aesthetical terms. Otherwise you could be fouled by a cheap flat panel TV stand that looks somehow robust but isn’t in reality.
What to expect to pay for high quality LCD TV stands?
When it comes to the price, things can get pretty complicated because it depends on a lot of factors. We are talking about factors like the design: Should it be minimal or charged? What should be the material:Glass, aluminum or wood?
All those are questions you should try to find an answer to before shopping around. But you shouldn’t expect to pay anything less than $300 and only the sky is the limit, deluxe LCD and plasma TV stands start at $1000 upwards.
