At the moment I have a 32″ LCD TV on a TV stand that was designed for a tube TV of that size (We figured that out a little while after we bought it). Now I’d like to know if it would be possible to put a new 50″ plasma on that same stand, or would I need to buy a brand new stand for over $200?

How Can I Make The Games Work By Using A Samsung Flat-panel Lcd Tv For As A Computer Monitor?

My ATI video card has an S-VIDEO port & uses a cable to run to the S-VIDEO port on the back of the TV. You have to download & install a CATALYST CONTROL CENTER program from ATIs web site & set it up from there. I am sure NVIDIA has the same deal. Your TV becomes your montor & you can even watch TV on your computer. Just make sure both your TV & video card has the S-VIDEO plug, most newer models do.

I am looking into buying an LCD tv. I have been looking at well known brands versus some entry-level generic store brands. For example, Target sells TruTech and Walmart sells Visco as their generic brands. Has anyone out there bought the generic brands? If so, please tell me your experiences with these. Have you had goodluck or bad luck? Is it really worth paying $1k for a new TV set.

How Wide Does A Flat-panel Tv Stand Need To Be?

All the plasma and LCD TV stands I see imply that a stand should be as wide as the TV itself. I can understand a weight maximum for safety’s sake, but is there any reason why a stand needs to be wider than the actual base of the TV, instead of the screen of the TV?

How Big Is Too Big For A Flat-panel Tv In A Dorm Room?

I’m planning on purchasing a new TV for my dorm room. It will be a flat-panel for the sake of preserving room that way.
I’m looking to get a relatively cheap 32″ LCD that I found but I’m wondering if it’ll be too big. I am getting my bed lofted so I will have all that room under there, but a desk will most likely be under there.
Any opinions would be appreciated.

Nowadays, most flat panel TVs weigh less than 100 lbs for something 40 inches and below. Yet there are TV stands advertising as “hold up to 27 inch LCD TV” despite claiming can support up to 220 lbs of weight. What gives?
