Excellent choice of TV. Very poorly designed stand. I am work so don't have measurements but can give you an idea.
I currently have under TV:
Marantz sr5200
Sky box
Pioneer DV444
and Standard VCR
To fit these underneath I had to take out bottom shelf and had to have Sky box on top of DVD player sid by side with amp (VCR on top shelf). I am now thinking of taking out the VCR and connecting it upstairs (only really used to tape missus soaps) but will still have to take out top shelf to get equipment on top of each other. The top shelf is just too close to the TV. I even bought the thin DV444 so as to make room but miscalculated.
Sony should know what standard equipment people have nowadays. Ah well thinking about getting Sky+ so I can get rid of VCR for good.
