Ah, I narrowly focused on my setup, which since inception in 2007 has consisted of my heavy plasma tv sitting atop the bespoke mount — extremely stable and overbuilt — that came with it atop a solid wood low console table.

Indeed, if the TV were to tip onto a young child it could cause serious injury; no such youngsters here.

As I think more about this, I realize I've never wall-mounted a TV nor would I ever do so: I just prefer them on stands.
