New Delhi: There is excitement in every house to buy a new TV, but as soon as you bring it home, the first question that arises is whether it would be better to hang it on the wall or keep it on a table stand? Generally, in order to give a modern look to the room, people get the TV mounted on the wall. However, this decision, which looks beautiful in the beginning, later creates many big practical problems in everyday use. Smart TVs are being joined by gaming consoles, soundbars, set-top boxes and streaming devices. Installing the TV in the right place in the room not only affects the beauty of the room, but also directly determines your viewing experience and convenience.

Trouble accessing ports

Smart TVs are being joined by gaming consoles, soundbars, set-top boxes and streaming devices. Having the HDMI and pendrive ports on the back of the TV makes it difficult to install or replace cables in a wall-mounted TV. Low hanging wires spoil the beauty of the room and to hide them one has to spend extra on wiring covers or trunking. This makes the TV setup not only look disorganized but also expensive.

Might have to be heavy to hang on the wall

Fixing the TV on the wall completely takes away your freedom to change the layout of the room. If you want to change the arrangement of the sofa or other furniture in your room in future, it is not possible to do so due to the fixed position of the TV. If you try to shift the TV to another wall, the ugly holes drilled on the old wall will damage the beauty of your room. Additionally, the height or viewing angle of a wall-fixed TV cannot be easily changed, sometimes causing additional strain on the neck or eyes.

Tabletop and rolling stands are smart choices

It's better to use a VESA tabletop stand or a floor stand with wheels instead of drilling a hole in the wall and creating a permanent mess. These modern stands not only give the TV a premium and clean look, but they also feature built-in cable management, keeping all the cords hidden. With the help of wheeled stands, you can easily move the TV from one room to another and rotate it to any angle as per your need. These stands also have a shelf to keep additional gadgets, making the entire setup look quite organized and attractive.
