Plasma TVs are one of the most popular electronics on the market right now. They are a bit of an investment, but a plasma TV stand is a great idea whether you want to set up a whole home theatre system for your family or just want a nice way to show off your new TV. Here are a few different kinds of TV stands and cabinets to help you decide.
Stands for metal plasma TVs
Modern and stylish, metal plasma TV stands come in colours like black and silver. One nice thing about these types of stands is that sometimes the metal has a powder coat finish that gives it a textured look to hide fingerprints. They are also strong and easy to put together. Some companies even let you choose from options like glass shelves and magnetised trims in different kinds of wood finishes.
Console Styles
Think about getting a plasma TV stand with a wood and metal finish that is either modern or elegant. Consoles are great because you can hide things like tapes and DVDs inside of them. They also help "hide" wires and other parts because the cabinet doors cover the front. Also, these are not the big TV consoles from the "good old days." Their designs are sleek and modern, and in addition to being useful, they can add a really nice touch to your existing decor.
Designer Style
There are a lot of different styles of these plasma TV stands, and they can really add a lot of drama to a room. Choose from different finishes of wood or metal, and then add shelves made of different materials than the base. An all-glass stand is a great way to make a small room look bigger, and you can choose between clear, frosted, or bevelled glass. These stands are also very sturdy, and because they are open, all of your components are easy to get to. Many of them also have a swivel turntable that makes it easy to adjust the TV for different people in different parts of the room.
Stands with TV lifts that work by motor
Built into the cabinet are automatic TV lifts that are made to lift heavy plasma TVs. They guide the unit with four rails while a motor raises it quickly, quietly, and safely. Some models will even stop on their own if something gets in their way. This is similar to how an automatic garage door works. These are pretty cool, but they're more like a piece of furniture than a TV stand, so you'll need to make sure you have room if this is your choice.
