Step 1 – Determine The Size Of Your Television
With such a wide variety of stand styles and sizes, there should be no problem finding a stand to accommodate your television and audio/video accessories.

Step 2- Determine the viewing angle.
Your TV will look its best when viewed on-axis (from straight ahead), at a height where your eyes are level with the middle of the screen. There is a wide selection of TV stands to support your TV and raise it to the correct viewing height for peak performance level.

Step 3- Choose a stand to fit more than just a TV.
When choosing a stand or cabinet for your television, you'll definitely need to compare the dimensions of the shelves to those of your TV and other components. You might even look for a stand with enough shelves to accommodate new components you might pick up down the line. It's also important to check the stand's weight capacity. Another thing to remember is that racks with open backs allow for easy access to your components' rear panels. Plus, televisions and home theater components generate heat during normal operation. If you're planning on keeping your gear in a fully enclosed cabinet or custom-built wall unit, consider installing vents in the top and bottom of the cabinet's back panel. Many stands and cabinets feature some type of cable management system, which helps keep a clean, clutter-free look.
