There are two options when it comes to home entertainment furniture: TV stands or consoles and entertainment wall units. Entertainment furniture should include a flat-screen digital TV system. Most people now watch TV and DVDs. It is more important to consider how big the furniture should be than whether it should include a screen.
Screens have many uses today. Your LCD or LED TV screen can be used to watch TV, play video games, or access the internet. All of these options should be considered when you are deciding on home entertainment furniture. One screen might be sufficient for all your applications.
If you are only using your TV for entertainment purposes, then why spend the money on a wall unit? The extra space would only be used for display purposes. In this case, a TV console and display cabinet would work better. If you don’t have enough storage space and this is too small for you, you can choose a wall unit. People will always find something to fit any space in their homes.
Let’s not forget about that and let’s take a look at the various home entertainment furniture options available and how each one can be used. As we go along, the above questions will be answered.
TV Consoles
Television consoles can hold widescreen digital TVs, but they can also be used to store older cathode-ray TVs. The TV consoles are typically made of a cabinet that has a flat top. This allows the TV to be viewed at the right height. You will find two cabinets for your DVD, CD collection and shelves for your surround sound amplifier, satellite box, had risk recorder and surround sound player.
You may find it has enough space to store your games console. However, if you have multiple boxes you need to store, make sure the unit you buy can hold them all. A simple TV console may not be enough. This is sufficient for most people, but not enough if you’re a hi-fi enthusiast.
There are TV consoles available that can hold all your boxes. You can also use separate racks to store DVDs, CDs and Blu-rays. Vinyl albums are still preferred by some because they feel that vinyl has a cleaner tone than digital, which can distort certain frequencies. No matter what you like, TV consoles can hold your players but not dedicated hi-fi gear.
