Cheap Plasma/LCD Stands, Any Problems?

[Andy.T]

Hi, I'm considering buying a Pioneer 507XD in soon, I will want to wall mount it but initially I will need some sort of stand.

What do you guys reckon to this kind of thing from Aria.

It seem like a real bargain, it's only basic, I know, but it'd do right? Or are there any pitfalls I should beware of?

I just don't want to pay over the odds for something really posh looking when I am going to get limited use out of it.

Thanks in advance for any opinions/pointers,

Anyone?

I know it's a different league to other stands (costing 3 or 4 times as much etc.) but is it likely to do the job? Or has anyone heard of something like this collapsing?

[Andy.T]

Any thoughts anyone?

Don't make me beg.

Hi Andy,

Not wanting to see a grown man beg

I think no one has answered as no one owns that model. A lot of people opted for the Portibiliy GT stands seen in the Bargain Glass Stand thread. I bought one and can certainly vouch for their quality (and price)

If you are still keen on your stand then buy it!! Most stands are fairly good quality - if not send it back.

Smokey - thanks for that.

I've just found that using this link instead I can get that stand for £42.24.

So I guess I'll just check compatability with my intended screen and take a gamble, seems rude not to at that price. Basically I want to spend the least amount of money possible without causing a £2k screen to crash to the floor.

Cheers,

Don't blame you Andy, that really would make a grown man cry

One idea might be to phone Aria and ask who the stand is manufactured by and call the manufacturers direct. I called Portability (the makers of my stand) using yell.com to find their number before I purchased and they were very helpful. Might make you sleep easier at night!

You might also want to ask them if they sell direct as you might get a better deal

Hi Andy,

Did you get this stand in the end? If yes, can you let know the measurements of the shelves?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

No I haven't bought it, but then I haven't bought the telly yet either heh.

I'm still trying to confirm it would be compatible at the moment over in the Pioneer 507 Plasma thread.

Has anyone got one of these?

I got the one with 3 shelves. Smashing!
