Quick How To fit a universal base to replace the wide feet supplied with a lot of modern flat TV's. This gives the TV a central swivel base more like the TV's a few years ago. TV is a Samsung QE49Q6FN but these work for nearly all TV's, Pedestal stand is a HAMA 108789.

[@isaklytting5795]

Thanks for this video, Dan! I had NO idea one these universal TV-stands existed! I prefer the central pedestal both aesthetically AND practically. I have a small living room, and my TV had always been sitting on a small piece of furniture. There was no way I could accommodate these modern TVs on my narrow table. I feel much more liberated now in my sense of choice, when I have to get my next TV.

I'm so glad you can get a stand like this on Amazon or eBay . Once I got set the tv how I liked it, I drilled a hole thru the back of the base and thru my stand and secured it with a nut and bolt to keep a child from tilting the tv on themselves.

[@timothybutler626]

Lol isn't it a little soapy

[@FourKnown]

Great job on the video! One more reason to swap to this type of stand is the width of the feet. We just got an 82-inch Samsung and the feet are 15 inches wide; the exact width of our rather large shelved TV stand we bought for our 70-inch screen. Makes me nervous to have the feet so close to the edge. So I'm now searching Amazon for one to fit. We also just bought a 39-inch Insignia for our master bedroom. As you said, the feet are too wide for the platform in the cabinet and also we cannot turn it enough to get the right angle of view from bed. I ordered a stand like this today. This will not only fit on the stand, but will allow us to have the TV stick out a little so I can see all the left edge and view more directly. With the cheaper TVs you need to view almost straight-on. When you angle view it looses quality quickly.

Our 1 1/2 year olf Samsung is being warrantied with a new replacement and none of the new ones come with the center pedestal. We like them because it's easy to swing tv around to attach new devices.

Great video, Dan! Just one question, I bought the 65 inch version of this stand, which is pretty much the same as this just a bit taller, and I’m worried if the glass base is sturdy enough to hold such a big tv since it’s all made from glass. Do you any idea how sturdy it is compared to other tv stands? Thanks in advance

[@libbamacushla]

Hi , great video, very helpful.. I'm thinking of buying a Samsung 50TU8500, which has "forked" feet, which would probably be too far forward for the shelf..(Shelf is recessed, 44.5cm deep 135cm wide) I will also need to be able to swivel the TV slightly, and that doesn't seem possible on the stand provided.

Hi, just bought a 65" hisense Uq8f, specs say the mounting holes are 400mm by 400mm. The model of universal stand you're using sounds like it should just work with my TV by the sounds of things.

Any idea on how much lower this option may be than the stock stands? looking to squeeze a 65in TV in my entertainment center, and only have 35" of space, and most 65" tv's show 35.7" Seems like something like this may lower it enough to fit inside.

[@TellyDan]

You should be able to adapt one so it's really low. There are also legs available that attach straight to the vesa mounts

[@PeteJosephs]

The trend for these wide apart feet is so that you can fit a sound bar under the TV and between the feet. Mystery finally solved?

[@strictlynineties]

So if I were raise the bracket arms to a lower hole, would that effectively lower my tv height? I want to lower my tv about 6 inchs because it sits a little higher than eye level. My bracket arms are installed at the lowest point without seeing them hanging down. Could I raise the arms in order to lower the tv? Trying to comprehend this drives me nuts! I don't want to try only to find out it didn't do anything for the height adjustment or worse made the tv even higher. I want to lower my tv by about 6".
