Most pieces marketed this way fall near the lower end of common living-room stand heights, often around 16 to 20 inches. Cabinets around 21 to 22 inches may still appear low because of their width, but they require closer comparison with the TV and seating position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treat \u201clow profile\u201d as a functional description rather than a rigid measurement. Four terms that often appear together do not mean the same thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Term<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">What It Describes<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Main Buying Question<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Low profile<\/td><td>Reduced cabinet height<\/td><td>Will the screen sit at a comfortable viewing level?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shallow or slim<\/td><td>Reduced front-to-back depth<\/td><td>Will devices and cable plugs fit inside?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Narrow<\/td><td>Reduced horizontal width<\/td><td>Is the surface wide enough for the TV base?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Floating<\/td><td>Wall-mounted installation<\/td><td>Can the wall safely support the cabinet and contents?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cabinet can be low but deep enough for home theater equipment, or shallow while still being too tall for a large television. Check each dimension separately.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/prydumano-design-AL9YkVEHc3U-unsplash-1-2-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Wall-mounted TV above a floating low-profile wood media console in a modern living room.\" class=\"wp-image-18337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/prydumano-design-AL9YkVEHc3U-unsplash-1-2-edited.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/prydumano-design-AL9YkVEHc3U-unsplash-1-2-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/prydumano-design-AL9YkVEHc3U-unsplash-1-2-edited-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-tall-should-a-low-profile-tv-stand-be\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Tall Should a Low Profile TV Stand Be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Low Height Matters:<\/strong> when a television sits directly on the cabinet, the stand determines where the screen begins and where its center meets your sightline. A stand that is too tall can make viewers lift their chin, while one that is too low may create a persistent downward gaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this practical calculation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Target stand height = seated eye height \u2212 half of the TV\u2019s actual height \u2212 TV base height<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measure your eye level while sitting as you normally watch television. Leaning back into a deep sofa can produce a different result from sitting upright at the front of the cushion. Then measure the television from its top edge to its bottom edge. Do not calculate with its advertised diagonal size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TV base also matters. Some models use short center pedestals, while others have taller feet near the outer edges. Add books or boxes beneath the television before buying to test a proposed height from your normal seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following table separates the three main setup types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Setup<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Main Height Decision<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">What to Check<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TV placed on the cabinet<\/td><td>Cabinet height controls screen height<\/td><td>Eye level, TV height, base height and soundbar clearance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wall-mounted TV<\/td><td>Wall mount controls screen height<\/td><td>Gap above cabinet, soundbar position and visual balance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Projector screen<\/td><td>Cabinet must stay below the projected image<\/td><td>Projector position, screen drop and equipment height<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A more detailed method for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/buying-guide\/tv-stand-height-guide.html\">choosing the right TV stand height<\/a> can help when different family members use seats with noticeably different heights.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-7031768-1.jpg\" alt=\"Large wall-mounted screen above a long low-profile media console with built-in speakers in a modern living room.\" class=\"wp-image-18338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-7031768-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-7031768-1-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-7031768-1-768x506.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"when-does-a-low-tv-stand-work-best\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Does a Low TV Stand Work Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This design works especially well when the television, seating and wall all favor a wide horizontal composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is usually worth considering for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 65-, 75- or 85-inch television that would sit too high on a standard cabinet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A low-seat sofa, deep sectional or reclined home theater arrangement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A wall-mounted television that needs storage below without another large visual block.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A projector screen that requires an unobstructed lower wall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A long living-room wall where a short cabinet can balance the television without filling the vertical space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reconsider it in a bedroom where viewers watch from a high mattress, beneath a small TV that would sit uncomfortably low, or when the household needs substantial vertical cabinet storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ideal TV Sizes<\/strong> cannot be determined by the stand\u2019s marketing label alone. A 75-inch television may work with a low cabinet because the larger screen naturally places its center higher. A smaller television on the same furniture could place the entire image below the viewer\u2019s natural sightline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a wall-mounted TV or projector wall, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/mid-century-tv-stand-modern-center-cabinet-with-adjustable-light-walnut.html?variant=32390\">Ansel-70.87&#8221; Mid-Century TV Stand<\/a> keeps the cabinet below the main viewing area while providing six drawers for remotes, games and everyday living-room items. Its fluted walnut-colored front adds detail without interrupting the long horizontal profile, and the cabinet arrives fully assembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"modern-styling-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modern Styling Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep the cabinet top edited rather than empty or crowded. A lamp, one low decorative object and a small stack of books are usually enough when the television is the main focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Match the visual weight of the cabinet to the wall:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use warm wood to soften a white or light gray media wall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat black from the television in slim hardware, lighting or picture frames.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep tall plants and floor lamps beside the cabinet rather than directly beneath the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave some clear surface around a soundbar so the top does not look packed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/mid-century-tv-stand-modern-center-cabinet-with-adjustable-light-walnut.html?variant=32390\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-11.jpg\" alt=\"Long low-profile wood TV stand with fluted doors, styled with a lamp, framed artwork, and books.\" class=\"wp-image-18339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-11.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-11-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-11-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-11-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/mid-century-tv-stand-modern-center-cabinet-with-adjustable-light-walnut.html?variant=32390\">Povison Ansel-70.87&#8221; Mid-Century TV Stand<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"match-the-stand-to-your-tv-and-installation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Match the Stand to Your TV and Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same cabinet can function very differently depending on whether the TV rests on top or hangs on the wall. Start with physical support when the screen uses its own base. With a wall mount, shift the priority toward spacing, storage and visual proportion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"when-the-tv-sits-on-the-stand\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the TV Sits on the Stand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measure the television\u2019s actual horizontal width rather than relying on its diagonal screen size. The cabinet should generally extend beyond both sides of the television to create a stable visual base and leave room for the feet, a soundbar or small accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also confirm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Both television feet fit completely on the surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cabinet depth accommodates the feet or center base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The top weight capacity exceeds the combined weight of the TV and anything placed beside it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The soundbar remains below the screen rather than covering its lower edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doors and drawers can open without hitting speaker stands or nearby furniture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The precise measurements in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/home-improvement\/how-big-should-your-tv-stand-be-for-a-55-65-or-75-inch-tv.html\">how big a TV stand should be for a 55-, 65-, or 75-inch TV<\/a> can narrow the width before you compare storage layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-6758234-1.jpg\" alt=\"Modern living room with a low-profile white TV stand, wall-mounted storage, and a television.\" class=\"wp-image-18340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-6758234-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-6758234-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-6758234-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"when-the-tv-is-wall-mounted\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the TV Is Wall-Mounted<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mounting the television separates viewing height from cabinet height. Position the screen for your seated sightline first, then choose a cabinet that fills the space below without forcing the television upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leave enough room between the cabinet and screen for the soundbar, cables and visual separation. A tiny gap can look compressed and make equipment difficult to access. An excessively large gap can make the television and cabinet appear unrelated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use painter\u2019s tape to mark the cabinet outline and television position on the wall. Sit down, view the arrangement from the room entrance, and check whether the two pieces form one composition before drilling or ordering furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-6297091-1.jpg\" alt=\"Wall-mounted TV above a floating low-profile media console in a modern living room with orange seating.\" class=\"wp-image-18348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-6297091-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-6297091-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-artbovich-6297091-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"check-storage-without-losing-the-low-profile\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Storage Without Losing the Low Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tv stand with storage should be evaluated from the inside out. Low cabinets have less vertical volume, so the arrangement of drawers, shelves and equipment compartments matters more than the total number of doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by listing what will stay active inside the cabinet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AV receiver<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Game console<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Streaming box<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Router<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power strip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blu-ray player<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Center speaker or compact soundbar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measure the largest device after its cables are connected. The usable requirement is not simply device depth; it is device depth plus plug length, cable-bend space and room for air to move. Exterior cabinet depth can be misleading when thick doors or rear panels reduce the interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat-producing electronics need an entry point for cooler air and an exit for warm air. Slatted doors, open backs, removable panels and vented shelves are more useful than one small cord opening. Understanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/buying-guide\/why-ventilation-matters-media-console.html\">why ventilation matters in a media console<\/a> is especially important when several devices remain powered for long movie or gaming sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A household with a full-size receiver may need to accept a cabinet near the upper edge of the low-profile range. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/products\/tv-stand-44706.html?variant=44710\">Arboren-17&#8243; Deep Vented Rolling Media Console<\/a> provides 17.7 inches of usable interior depth, ventilated metal shelves and removable rear panels. Hidden wheels also make the cabinet easier to move when cables or equipment require maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separate the interior into two zones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Equipment zone:<\/strong> active electronics with airflow and direct cable routes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage zone:<\/strong> remotes, controllers, manuals, batteries and spare cables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This prevents loose household items from blocking device vents while keeping the media wall visually organized.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/products\/tv-stand-44706.html?variant=44710\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/TS-Arboren-17-6.jpg\" alt=\"Wall-mounted TV above a low-profile slatted wood media console with a turntable and floor speakers.\" class=\"wp-image-18349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/TS-Arboren-17-6.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/TS-Arboren-17-6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/TS-Arboren-17-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/TS-Arboren-17-6-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/products\/tv-stand-44706.html?variant=44710\">Povison Arboren-17&#8243; Deep Vented Rolling Media Console<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-should-you-measure-before-buying\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should You Measure Before Buying?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complete one measurement session before comparing finishes or door styles.

A console can be wide enough for the television yet fail because an AV receiver is too deep, a soundbar covers the screen, or solid rear panels leave nowhere for cables to bend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Saturday movie setup provides a useful final test. Place the soundbar, game system, remotes and controllers where they would normally go. The arrangement should remain usable without stacking devices, covering vents or moving decor every time someone wants to play a game.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-pu-ca-adryan-163345030-28195650-1.jpg\" alt=\"TV on a low-profile black and white media console with open shelves in a modern blue living room.\" class=\"wp-image-18350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-pu-ca-adryan-163345030-28195650-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-pu-ca-adryan-163345030-28195650-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-pu-ca-adryan-163345030-28195650-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-pu-ca-adryan-163345030-28195650-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right low profile TV stand should place the screen comfortably, support its real width and weight, and organize the equipment used every day. Start with seated eye level and television dimensions, then decide whether the screen will sit on the cabinet or mount independently. After that, compare usable interior depth, ventilation, cable routes and storage rather than judging the furniture by height alone. A cabinet that balances those factors can create the sleek, modern effect people want without making the media area harder to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"q-a\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q&amp;A<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1784271582925\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can a low-profile TV stand work with a UST projector?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It can, but cabinet height alone does not determine compatibility.

The cabinet must also be deep enough to support the projector without shifting its image. Confirm the complete projector-and-screen geometry before choosing the console.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1784271586477\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Should a low TV stand have legs or sit flush to the floor?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Legs make the floor easier to clean and may create space for cables, but they also increase the stand\u2019s total height. A floor-level base creates a more continuous low silhouette and prevents small items from rolling underneath. Compare ventilation, robot-vacuum clearance, and cleaning access before choosing either structure.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1784271591420\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can a center speaker go inside a low-profile media console?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, if the compartment provides enough height, depth, airflow, and open space in front of the speaker. Solid doors may block or muffle sound, while nearby electronics can add heat. Use an open compartment or acoustically transparent door, and position the speaker as close to seated ear level as possible.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1784271597180\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is a low TV stand safe around children and pets?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A low center of gravity can improve stability, but it does not replace proper safety measures. Keep every television foot fully supported, follow the cabinet\u2019s stated weight limit, and install any included anti-tip hardware. Wall-mounting the television can further reduce the risk of the screen being pushed or pulled forward.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1784271603252\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can a low-profile TV stand cover a floor vent?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It should not block a supply or return vent. Restricted airflow can make room temperatures uneven and expose the cabinet or electronics to concentrated heat. Keep the grille fully open, or use a stand with adequate leg clearance only when both the vent layout and furniture design allow unobstructed airflow.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction A low profile TV stand can make a large screen feel better proportioned, reduce&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":18332,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buying-guide","post_format-post-format-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18324"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18368,"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18324\/revisions\/18368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.povison.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
