The Problem

When your TV is wider than the stand

TV size is measured diagonally, but what matters for stand compatibility is the width. A 65" TV is approximately 57 inches (145 cm) wide. Many entertainment units are narrower than this.

Wall mount the TV: Remove the stand dependency entirely. The TV floats on the wall and you can set it at the correct ergonomic height.

Replace the entertainment unit: Find a wider unit. Measure your TV width and add at least 4 inches on each side.

Use a floor stand: Freestanding TV floor stands require no wall mounting and work well in rented spaces.
