Are wall mounted or cantilever stands the only options for plasma screens? The simple answer is no – most plasma screens come with a basic table stand to let you use them on any stand that you like, but in the case of flat screen or plasma TVs, why would you not choose to use a wall mounted display?

The reasons you can’t use wall mounted stands

Plasma screens and flat screens, contrary to popular belief, can be quite heavy – while it’s true that they are lighter than conventional TVs, they are still quite heavy, which means if you don’t have trustworthy walls, or areas of weak plaster, you may not be able to use a wall stand. Other reasons can include not having the right space to use a wall stand, such as a recess or other area that just wouldn’t work with a plasma screen in a wall mounted situation. Other reasons to consider using a regular TV stand may include having a custom built unit or area for your TV and other items – such as a stone based fireplace beside which your TV sits on. While this is becoming more uncommon, you may find that you can only store your TV in certain environments, such as on these bunkers or other custom built display areas.

So are Cantilever stands the solution?

It’s possible that you’ll find that the cantilever stand fulfils everything you want in a TV stand. It’s secure and designed to hold your plasma screen TV in solid place. This is important because plasma screen TVs, when dropped or disturbed they are likely to become damaged. So ensuring that your TV stand is designed to hold your TV in place, offering a modified version, in some cases, of a TV trolley, is one of the most important aspects of cantilever stands. They have a broad bracket, much like a TV support, that you attach your TV to – and as most TV’s have space on the back to attach stands, it’s a win-win situation.

The best solution all round

Cantilever stands, with shelves, offer the best solution for your plasma TV’s storage and stand needs. It offers unparalleled design and elegance for most plasma screens while offering storage solutions for any additional multimedia systems that you have. Depending on your needs, you’ll find that there are several designs of cantilever stands to fit your needs, each with unique benefits and challenges to install and use them. The best stands offer flexibility without losing any of their stability and can provide end users with a solution that appears to be custom designed and bespoke to their TV rather than possibly designed around fitting a mass of devices.
