TV stand guide: How to find the right one for your entertainment center

TV Stand Guide

Step 1 of TV Stand Buying Guide: Determine the Actual Width of Your TV

The standard TV size just tells you the size of the TV screen measured diagonally. But when it comes to picking the right TV stand, you must first determine the width, length and depth of your TV. Ensure that the measurements you take include the TV frame. Here are some standard TV dimensions for reference:

The above LCD/ LED TV standard sizes are only for reference. Always double check the TV standard dimensions by talking to professionals and measuring it yourself.

Step 2 of TV Stand Buying Guide: Select TV Units Based on TV Sizes

When it comes to living room design, choosing the right TV stand is essential to ensure that your entertainment center looks cohesive and stylish. Knowing the exact size of your TV will help you gauge the stand or unit size you need. Here is how to choose a TV stand— whether your TV is mounted on the wall or it will rest on the stand, the stand must be bigger than the TV in both length and width. This is for both aesthetics and to ensure that TV stands securely on it. When it comes to how to measure a TV stand, you must consider the following-
 

• The height of the TV stand. This should be in proportion to the standard TV size to ensure that the screen is at eye-level when watching from the seating space.
  
  
• The stand should be at least 8” to 10” wider than the standard TV size so that it can be centered for optimal viewing experience.

Here is a TV stand size chart for reference:

Step 7 of TV Stand Size Guide: About Viewing Distance

The viewing distance is generally measured as 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen size for TV standard dimensions. For example,

• For a LED TV standard size of 40’’, the TV should be between 5 and 8.5 feet.
• For a 50’’ TV it should be between 6.5 and 10.5 feet.
• For a 60’’ TV it should be between 7.5 and 12.5 feet away and so on.

With higher resolution the clarity increases, and so you could sit closer to the screen without any worry of strain. The viewing distance then is calculated as about 1.5 times the screen size or a little closer. Refer to steps 1 and 2 on how to measure a TV stand to find the perfect fit for your TV.

Step 8 of TV stand buying guide: TV Stand Material

The TV unit design and style will help you determine the material and finishes you choose. If you like the traditional Indian style furniture in dark wood, opt for a teak, walnut or rosewood base with a rich dark brown stain finish. For something minimal and scandinavian inspired, either a light wood or warm off-white laminate would work well. In a boho room, opt for fabric or rattan shutters and in a contemporary room, you can paint the stand to add a pop of colour to the room. Natural stones like marble and quartz are great options for luxe, neoclassical interiors.
