Don't be anxious if your stand is not the exact same size as your TV. If you get a stand that is larger than your TV, you can have additional equipment around your TV to personalize the room. Or you can have a slightly smaller TV on a bigger stand to make the TV your central point.
Depth however is the most significant measurement. You do not want your TV to droop off the front or back of the stand.
Don't forget to check the TV's weight to make sure that the stand can support it safely.
Special Features
Casters are wheels like those on some chairs so you can use them to move your TV stand around the room based on the atmosphere or party.
Adjustable Shelves were made so you can modify your stand to suit your requirements.
Cable Management is ideal for our modern world. It allows you to run cables to your other equipment through openings in the stand and not have them showing, giving a better appearance.
Once you found you stand, where do you buy it from?
Conventional ?walk in? stores have a very limited stock. They have to have all their TV stands in their showrooms and stockrooms, which restricts the range and variety of stands they can offer. But you can see the stand before you buy it which has its advantages compared to online stores.
Online stores offer a huge collection of TV stands from a large number of manufacturers that keeps growing. Some of them ship right from the producer so they don't need storage space therefore can make it cheaper in some cases. However as mentioned before you would be buying from a picture unless you know the stand you want and searched for it online.
