Black TV Stands

- Aspect Ratio: the aspect ratio of the TV helps to determine its suitability for watching movies and television programming in true widescreen format. While the traditional television has always used a aspect ratio of 4:3, i.e. 4' wide, 3' high, the typical LCD television uses an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a truer widescreen picture perfect for watching DVD and VHS movies, as well as traditional television programming.

- Stanford TV Stand - This is a very elegant stand that features a beautiful black/hansen cherry veneer finish with decorative dentil moulding. It will hold most 60 inch LCD or plasma TV's up to 154 lbs. A framed tempered black glass door protects your electronic components. The 2 adjustable shelves give you 4 seperate compartments.

- You will want to figure out how you want to manage your cables. First determine how you plan to connect your TV to your other home entertainment components. For a clean, uncluttered look, you can install a wall plate to allow you to run your cables behind your wall. This is probably the most popular option. Just make sure to consult an electrician if necessary, and be sure to not run any power cables through the walls. Ususally, you will want to have a receptacle mounted behind your TV for electricity. Again, a good quality flat screen TV mount will come with built in cable management options.

- Plasma television sets can easily blend into the design of just about any room. These television sets are tiny when compared with analog units, and can allow you to better utilize the square footage of your home. Instead of taking up a significant amount of floor space, plasma televisions can be hung directly on the wall or placed on a compact stand.

- Microdisplays are smaller rear projection TV's. They have very sharp images, and have no rainbow effect. But it's difficult to watch comfortably from a short distance (some people describe it as something like watching TV through a screen door), so you need a big viewing room.
