As commented in an earlier thread, TV Stands are a matter of personal taste, but I'm having difficulty finding one high enough for my needs. I've seen one for £800 but I never expected to have to pay more for the stand than the TV!

Most stands seem to be designed to support much larger TVs than 32-inch. My current stand is 54 cm high but the Panasonic is too low for comfortable viewing. At the moment, I've found a temporary arrangement that lifts it to 64cm that is acceptable, but I'm unable to find a stand at this height. Ideally, the stand should be fitted with castors.

I've seen a few stands that use the TV's rear fixings, but these have only a single equipment shelf below (I would like a minimum of two).

Can anyone help?

TV stands are specifically designed to be the correct height, so I'm a bit puzzled why you find it 'uncomfortable' - are you sitting on something huge and obscure?.

They are also usually slightly HIGHER than CRT stands were, so what were you doing before?.

If you want something that different, why not make your own?.

Richard,

A lot of stands have adjustable TV mounting brackets. So they give a maximum TV size. They will fit smaller TVs though.

I'm not going to waste time recommending individual models. Like I said before, it's too much about personal preference. So try what I said before. Do a Google search and find some retailer's web sites to see a range of what's available. Here's a link to The Plasma Centre to get you started.

As a general guide the centre of the screen should be at eye level , if you cant find a stand that suits you ? perhaps you should wall mount the TV , on a small screen like this it will be very easy to do and even a bracket with swivel facility won't put much strain on the mounting wall -- obviously don't know your room layout but that's what I would consider rather than pay silly money for a stand !

PS it would be very hard to find a stand with castors -- health and safety you know !!

There are several tv stands on amazon which would appear to fit your requirements, though none with castors - just search 'cantilever tv stand'.
