The easiest and quickest way to set your TV up, stand mounting or table mounting involves putting your TV on a flat surface. This is usually a TV stand or table of moderate height, which will raise the TV to a reasonable level for you to watch. Most flat-screen TVs today — whether LED, OLED or Plasma — come with a base stand, which holds the TV upright and steady. This can either be a wide base with a single stem, or legs on either end of the bottom.
