I wanted to talk to you about the type of television stand that you inevitably choose to go with. I know there are a lot of choices out there that you could be using, especially with an LCD television. I think a lot of people go with the mounting system, where you can mount the actual TV to the wall. It sounds like a nice thing to do, but I'm personally not a fan of it. There is no place to put your DVD player or your digital cable/satellite box. For me it is really just an impractical way of doing things. Yeah, it looks nice, but it isn't practical.
I recommend getting a television stand. Most people will go for the type that is black or the ones that have the wood finish look. I suppose they're fine, but I think white stands look a lot better. I think the main reason I like them so much is that white fits in with really any room. It doesn't matter if you have a modern house or one that is more traditional or old. It will fit in with either one.
I know when you get a new television, it can feel out of place by the type of stand you get. When you get the color of it in white, you don't end up with that problem. It is going to fit into any room that you put it in.
