As Marshall McLuhan argued in Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, hot media is overtaking cold media within the global marketplace and homes world wide. The comforts and stimulations of television screens garner the attentions of every human being. Furthermore, according to studies, the average human being consumes an average of six hours of television. The growth and development of TV stands is necessary for aiding television advancements. Together, these devices are progressing at a rapid rate. Manufacturers and distributors are pumping out many different types of TV stands.A great deal of research is necessary to fully understand all the different options available. Hopefully, the following will serve as an informative introduction in to the world of TV stands.

When purchasing TV stands for your plasma or LCD television, it is easy to become interested in aesthetics. However, function is a much more important area to focus. There are certainly many attractive television stands out there for residential use. These often feature glass and wood accents to match the décor of your home or office waiting room. Yet, durability ultimately outweighs the aesthetic appeal. Quality TV stands have sturdy metal exteriors. This is not to say that metal stands are unattractive. Many of them have sleek designs and eye catching color polishes. Nonetheless, function is the higher priority.

The first question to ask is: How big is my television? This may seem obvious, but it is important because many companies divide their collection of TV stands into groups based on television screen width. Most companies manufacture or distribute flat screen television racks for monitors ranging in size from 12" to over 72". Once size is established make sure that your television and rack are both VESA compatible. VESA, or the Visual Electronics Standards Association, sets regulations on the bracket mounting hardware for all televisions. It is important that the stand follows the stipulations, or you will not be able to affix your television.

The next question is where are you planning on using your television? There are floor, wall, and ceiling brackets for monitors. Evaluate the space you are planning to utilize the television. Do you operate a kiosk or booth at a trade show? Do you work in a retail store where floor space is often limited? Do you want to decrease the wall and floor clutter? There many different options for floor, wall, and ceiling displays. All of them are available with tilting mounts, articulating brackets, and motorized control. Take some time to consider which style is best for you.

Another aspect is the features that you expect from television racks. Many TV fixtures can have a unique trait or multiple characteristics for users to implement. Literature holders, poster frames, banner hangers and multiple monitor racks all enhance a showcase. When users attach literature holders to flat television stands, they can circulate brochures and catalogs effortlessly. Poster holders are designed to accommodate graphics of various sizes in traditional and curved frames. A flat TV stand with banner hangers brings the static advertisements up to the same level as the screen. Attach two different banners to elaborate on the wares offered. Place numerous televisions on a flat TV fixture. There is a model holds up to four different monitors! Make a flat TV fixture portable with wheels. Roll the display out to the position desired, and remove the wheels to make it stationary. Other portable flat TV stand options are available. Some of the models have collapsible exteriors. A flat TV fixture of this ilk is perfect for trade shows and merchandise booths. Simply take apart the rack and stow it within the durable black bag provided. There is even a flat TV stand that includes carrying case that converts into a podium.
