For flat screen TVs like mine (50 " LG Plasma TV)

Fitüyez Universal TV Stand (for 32-60" TVs) is a beautiful piece of hardware that serves its purpose to the full. Goal. Its main weakness lies in the possible brittleness of the connection of the rack to the base plate ("mounting plate"). The latter is an elegant and shiny but brittle slab of black glass about 7mm (9/32 inch) thick. The issue that might confuse some users is that the assembly instructions consist of two pages of drawings with little to no text. Half of the first page shows the contents of a crate with five components, labeled with numbers 1 through 5, and two plastic bags of equipment, each labeled with a letter. For flat screen TVs like mine (LG 50 inch plasma TV) you only need the first pack. As a first step, five self-adhesive rubber rings ("feet") are attached to the underside (unpolished side) of the baseplate, four next to each of the rounded corners and one in the middle between them. two mounting holes and close to the edge of the plate. I placed them about 1/8 inch from the edge of the glass. Next, attach a thick rounded vertical bar ("stand”) to the baseplate. The two pieces are joined by two long, thin pan head thumb screws that are designed to be hand tightened. It is extremely important to position the bottom cover of the stand correctly. After assembly, ensure that the stand is stable and cannot wobble sideways or rotate around the base. In my opinion, this is the Achilles heel of the system: If you later accidentally turn the TV around the vertical axis and the base sticks to the table due to friction, the base can rotate around the base and damage it or break the glass and/or two latches. In the third step, the instructions show how to attach the hanging board to the stand, showing the use of the top 4 holes in the stand. I do not agree! First you need to determine which holes to use. So first loosen the four wall mount screws on the back of the TV and use them to fasten the two vertical TV mounts. Please note the following: a) The hooks in each bracket must point downwards as they are used to hang the TV from a hanging shelf; b) The brackets should be mounted as high as possible without protruding over the edge of the TV (due to the size of my TV there was only one option). The lower you place the brackets on the back of the TV, the higher the TV will end up hanging over the panel, which is undesirable (unstable!). After the brackets are in place, measure the distance D from the hooks to the bottom edge of the TV; Then attach the hanger board to the stand using four holes for this purpose, causing the top edge of the hanger board to be slightly more than D above the plate (there are three options available, of which I used the bottom four). holes). If you hang it too low, the TV won't clear the base. If it's too high the TV hangs too high from the base, which can cause instability and increase the likelihood of it tipping over. Once finished, the stand cuts a good figure, even if it lacks rigidity, especially when twisting around the vertical axis. But once the TV is on the table, it will work adequately. However, do not bump the TV and use caution when moving the table on which the TV is placed for any reason (cleaning, adding connections, maintenance, etc.). it will work properly.
