Common conclusions
If you have a large space to house a TV stand comfortably, go for a king-size stand. A good rule of thumb is that the TV stand should be about two inches wider than the base of the TV, to give some additional space on either side of the TV. This can help you stand and the TV from getting too hot due to long hours of use.
Some people like to keep other things on their TV stand too such as flower vases, photo frames, and other decorative pieces. If you want to do the same, make sure your TV stand is wide enough to hold all that you want. Ideally, visualize your TV stand and decide what should go on it. Accordingly, decide the size. In general, the more things you want to keep, the larger should be the size of your TV stand.
Having interior spaces in your TV stand can be a handy idea as you get to store some relevant items like magazines, newspapers, CDs and DVDs, cables, and other things that you and your family members like to use. These storage spaces can also be a great place to dump some unwanted things from the eyes of guests as they walk into your house. Again, if you plan to have storage space, decide how much space you want, and accordingly, pick the right size.
The material of the TV stand has a reasonable bearing on its size. If you plan to buy stands made of wood and other sturdy materials, the chances for it to topple over is less. On the other hand, if you plan to buy stands made of light metals, make sure it is just right for your TV, as the dynamics may not be so lasting. So, consider the size of the TV and the material before making your choice.
This is something that you must finalize first. If you're planning to buy a stand for an existing TV, it is a no-brainer. Just keep the other aspects in mind and get a TV stand. On the other hand, if you plan to buy one, it is best you buy the TV first and then a stand to go with it. This is important because sometimes when you walk into a store, you might be tempted to buy a slightly larger TV, in which case, the TV stand becomes a waste. So, buy the TV first and then the stand.
Get a stand that is just a couple of inches wider than your TV to avoid the possibility of keeping things that can fall on them while playing.
Feel free to buy a larger TV stand if you like.
