Is the plasma television returning back to the wall?

By Ron Macfairlane

One of the plasma televisions most unique points was that it could be fixed to the wall so it gave the customer an much more living space which was originally taken up by the big bulky televisions and stands.

As the plasma Television became more popular the manufacturers became more inventive with their styles and designs. They created a vast range of specially suited and affordable television stands to fit the style of the plasma Television.

The TV stand came in all shapes and sizes, glass , metal , wood and corner stands, all very popular ranges. The stand became a fashion icon designed to fit in with most interior designs. More consumers passed up the offer to attach the TV to the wall and reverted back to the more traditional television on a stand.

The two main reasons why they probably diverted back to the traditional TV stand instead of the new improved wall mount or wall brackets were :

1) They weren't quite sure what to do with all the extra floor space and they didn't feel to comfortable with the television attached to the wall.

2) The innovative stylish TV stands were very affordable in comparison to the price of the exclusive plasma television which was only available to the special few that could afford them. They were just a little add on to the overall price.

Now the television has become mainstream and available to practically every household the plasma television stands seem a lot more costly, in some cases the cost can be as much as a third of the cost of the plasma. Therefore the option to hang the TV on the wall again doesn't seem like such a bad alternative

Especially in this difficult financial climate. We are all thinking of ways to cut back but nobody wants to miss out on life's luxuries. As the wall mount or TV brackets are cheaper than the TV stand.

Could the Plasma television be going back to it's original place , the wall?
