I have just got a new PC and the monitor also works as a TV – I am thinking of using the monitor as the main TV in my room and getting rid of my CRT – this new monitor is a 28” LCD – so it is much better then my current TV.  Is it possible to use a standard tv stand for the monitor?

ANSWER:

Monitors typically have the same small stands as Plasma and LCD screens. These small stands (the ones that stand on your desk) are perfectly fine to place on top of most stands designed for televisions. I say “Most” because there are exceptions – some stands are designed exclusively for a certain model of television – a Panasonic viera stand for example will only work with a viera televisions. Generic TV stands will be fine for your monitor though.
