We all love to showcase our sleek and modern flat-screen TVs, but choosing the right TV stand and media console for the TV can be challenging. To select the perfect entertainment center, the first and foremost thing to be considered is the size of your TV. And we all know that the size of the TV is defined by its diagonal measurement of the screen, not the dimensions. 

In this blog, we will discuss the various types of TV and media consoles that we offer. This will help you buy the right size media console table for your TV and entertainment gadgets. Check this out:

Measurement of TV Size, Media Size, and Viewing Distance

Consider a Place for Your TV Stand 

Keeping that in mind, decide the right spot for your TV unit and make sure that the spot is free from any reflections, You surely don’t want any glare on the screen to spoil the fun. If you are a movie night person or love watching sports, place it by the corner fireplace or buy a bedroom TV stand to have cozy movie nights.    

Living Room Setup with Media Console

Match the Room Size with the TV Stand

Buying an oversized TV console could overpower the aesthetic of your place. An 80 or 70-inch TV stand with open shelves would look perfect in a family room, while a 60-inch TV stand would be a great fit for the living room. Common sizes such as 40-60 inches would be best for the bedrooms.  

Measure Your Sitting Height

The height at which you sit while watching TV matters a lot as it directly has an impact on your eyesight. Normally a 40º view is considered best with an average sitting height of 95 to 100 cm.  To suit your needs accordingly you can buy a low or tall media console. Keep in mind the height of your TV and the furniture that you sit on.
