Do most TV's fit most universal TV stands? The type of stand that you screw the TV to. I'm looking to get my mum a new telly and the stand she has is very nice and is adjustable but is around 10years old,no pics I'm afraid:doh:

Ta Grant, I'll pop to currys tomorrow and check things out, 43in LG £350 ish, I have the previous version and it's great, really cant understand people forking out over a grand for the same size telly?

Most modern tellies use VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association), which has a set distance between the mounting holes, vertically and horizontally. My 55" LG and the 10 year-old 42" Panasonic plasma it replaced were just a straight swap.

If you Google VESA it'll tell you all about it.

You might not think the extra cost is worth it, but to say you can't understand it seems a bit of a stretch. My current 49" LG tv is great and only cost £400. However, I would have loved their OLED model of the same size which cost over £1000 at the time. It was clearly better in terms of colour saturation and contrast, but I could not justify (to myself) the extra outlay at the time.
