Need a floor stand... for 50kg plasma

firstborn · 14 Aug 2017 at 20:04

Hi,

Struggling to find a floor stand for my kuro 60" weighing in at 50kg. Have sent numerous emails to various suppliers with no luck for something coping with size and weight.

Starting to think getting a metal fab shop to make something is the way to go.

Any one know of a suitable stand I may have missed?

Cheers

Apologies, should have added I want a cantilever type stand/mount. Like a wall bracket on a pole... it's current wall mounted but now needs to go in front of a window :-/

'Table top' stand it is then.

That's what I was looking for but was concerned about stability.

apparently there are some morons out there that will still pay £1500 for a kuro. sell it and get an oled

I would happily sell. But would then probably want to spend a few k on a new tv. The other half aint gonna like that

Well I'm now buying a table top stand for £130. Truth of the mater is, if i were to go a replace the Kuro, I'd likely be looking to spend £3k+ which I'm not prepared to do at the moment. Yes if I hold onto it I'll not be able to sell it to some muppet for ridiculous money, but by then I'll probably not have to spend £3k+. Whereas 1080p may be "dead" from the point of view of sales of new sets - it's far from dead in terms of content So i'll be happy for a while yet with the Kuro at the centre of my system - Cheers all.

no sky q, netflix, prime or up to date console/pc? i have all of the above minus ps4 pro.

But come on, be honest, if you watch a lot there's next to nothing by way of content yet and what little there is to be streamed demands a pretty chipper internet connection.

The stand will be useful even if he changes tv ? the new one might be lighter but interesting to know the options.
However I would avoid tv in front of window if possible, for daytime viewing anyway.

just checked ... still no news on lg 1080p oled pricing
some interesting theories there on why they are doing it (eg bedrooms)

Only other option is tv opposite the window (window is about 12ft wide). Anyways the plasma will help keep that area warm in winter

I don't watch tv during the day anyways so not a problem.
