I'm looking at some of the stands and more are pure ugly.
Like why isn't there a market for chic looking stands?
Why they all got that industrial look?

What kinda setup ya'll got? I'm buying the LG OLED C1 in a month.
What should I do? Wall mount it or put it on a stand?
I want it to look nice though.


This video gave me alot of ideas, those cozey sofas are perfect!!!

Has no bearing on gaming experience. Comes down to personal preference.
I’ve always liked the look of a tv sitting on a nice entertainment center. So that’s what I went with.

Plus the CX flimsy design was such a fukking bytch to even get on the entertainment center…I couldn’t imagine trying to mount that alone…would need a pro installation or at least a buddy over to help.

It would've looked so much better if he would've made 2 holes in the walls and ran the cable thru there instead of using a type of cable managing molding

I have a Sony 85", wall-mounted, I prefer it that way, easier to move if I need to. The middle of the screen is eye level when seated, better for movies and gaming, less neck strain.

Full motion mount that extends, tilts, swivels, slides, and levels.

No stand yet. I have a sound bar that kicks a hole in your chest with the clarity. I have my floor standing speakers, center channel and Atmos all in their separate boxes. The spot ain't big enough for all this just yet.


If you want art deco vouge chic just hit up Ikea or some Swedish or Finnish furniture store.

I wall mounted mine (LG G1) and don't have a stand so I gant give any advice on that front.

Only thing I can recommend is to go take a look at r/TVTooHigh/ to get an idea of what you should not do with your TV.:lolbron:

Not for it's size and where I sit. It's 21" from the floor to the bottom of the set, 42" from floor to center of the screen which is ideally want you want. Perfect for gaming and watching movies puts you right in the middle of everything. Everything is going to depend on your tv size and where you are comfortable viewing it.
