Pros & Cons - Cantilever Stands vs Wall Mounts

[mannan4]

Hi All,

I'm new to the whole "Home Cinema" world and also new to this forum.

I would like to understand which option is better, Cantilever Stands or Wall Mounts.

As with most forums, newbies tend to open up new threads when there is one already discussing their issue. For this reason, I would be grateful that if this is the case, if someone can post the link for me to this thread.

I have bought the Samsung LE40A556P (Series 5) 40" LCD TV recently (Last week).

I'm currently considering this cantilever option:

My reasons:-

1) Easy to set-up (Potentially) and move around.
2) Looks good and seems sturdy/robust
3) Reasonably priced (Budget is very important)
4) No building work necessary and no extra costs

Could knowledgeable users of this forum advise on the pros and cons regarding both options. Additionally reccomending better alternatives or cheaper outlets to purchase the above mentioned stand.

Look forward to your responses.

Many Thanks

Thanks, I'll check out the link.

Did you find that this stand was sturdy enough and held the load well? Also did you have the stand on wooden flooring or carpet.
