Do you ever wish you had a bigger tv ?

Is the 64inch Samsung on our stand? Cheers

Yes.

It's not always the size but the weight, plasmas are a lot heavier than LCD for example so their for you should be able to put a bigger tv, not sure what sort of weight OLED tvs are though.

Oleds are seriously light. Mine weighs 16kg, a 65inch weighs 27kg!

@gel if you have a 50" plasma on your stand weighing nearer 50kg you should be fine with a 65" oled weighing 27kg, aesthetics might be a problem though with the overhang.

My plasma weighed 31.5kg, but should properly still should be fine. Yep, it will overhang a bit. A 60inch certainly looks doable.

Personally, I won't compromise on TV size just because of the stand.... I'll get a new stand!!

wall mount - do away with the stand - no limitation then

Gel, sorry, I've just got a new (second-hand) computer, wasn't sure how to do this otherwise I would have done so in my one-reply at post number 24 - here again is my Samsung PS64D8000 plasma on the Optimum AV300 stand, sorry that the proportions look wrong. It does overhang, but not by too much, and clearly the weight is okay also - the television weighs 38 kg and there is also about another 10kg of centre speaker and instruction booklets.

All my tvs in the house are wall mounted at the present, i think that i'll never use a stand again!

You'll end up with more space if you wall mount a screen.

Ah cheers! Does look pretty big, but doesn't overhang much. Cheers.

Gel, sorry that the proportions in my picture are a bit wrong, I'm still getting used to my new computer!

Hi-Fi Outlaw, wall-mounting is an idea for some, but the wall behind the Samsung is not very solid, and and it's not wide enough to take the TV. Besides, I need the AV stand to put all my other components! None of my other three televisions are wall-mounted.
