There are a variety of ways you can set up your TV so that watching it can bring a theater-like experience home to your living room. After all, isn't that what we all want?

Whether you're mounting your TV on the wall, using a stand, or something more creative, where you place your TV has a major effect not only on how you watch TV but how you think of your TV!

For example, if you use an old beat up wooden stand as a place to set your TV, even if it's a great TV it's going to lose a sense of value simply by being on that junky stand. You've spent a great deal of money on your TV, so you should display it in a way that reflects the investment you've made!

Show some pride of ownership in your TV. If you have LCD, Plasma, or other flat panel TV or HDTV, you should consider mounting it on the wall! Most modern flat panel style televisions come equipped and ready to be mounted. However, you will need to purchase the mounting kit separately in most cases, and that can be quite pricey.

If you choose to mount your TV, yes it may cost you over $100 or even hundreds, depending on the size and weight ...
... of your TV. But it's worth the cost, since you need something heavy duty to keep your precious asset safe!

Before you mount a TV, make sure your walls are capable of supporting the weight of your TV without breaking. Certain types of walls may not be a proper place to mount a television. To be sure, check the instruction manual at the store where you're buying the mounting kit before you take it home. If you can't do that, at least read the instructions thoroughly (and the safety precautions) before you follow through with the process of mounting your flat panel TV. If your walls are not appropriate for mounting, simply return the mounting kit!

If all else fails, you can still place your TV on a nice stand or other surface! There are a wide variety of stands available, in many styles and colors to match your television, in addition to complimenting your existing decor.

Also, remember that some other pieces of modern furniture may make for a beautiful TV stand. Some simple streamlined desks, entertainment centers, modern tables, and so on may be an even better choice. Plus, they make go better with the furniture you already have. Perhaps you can use a piece of furniture you already have to place you TV on and it will look nice! Get creative!

Remember: it's your TV and it's up to you how you want to set it up. Let it suit your style and keep in mind that there is no set rule!
