It might seem strange that only a few years ago we relied heavily on cathode ray tube television sets to bring us news programmes and entertainment. Everyone had a CRT TV and they are fondly remembered. However, CRT televisions had their faults. They were heavy and because of the tube were quite deep. Because of this they had to be sat on a TV stand or on a cabinet. People made the TV stand a part of their room but because of this lost space that would in the past have been used for another chair or useful furniture item.
With the introduction of flat screen TVs such as plasma, LCD and now LED televisions, the need for TV stands and cabinets has gone. This is because these TVs are super-slim so can be fitted easily to a TV bracket and hence fixed to the wall. And, with the choice of TV brackets being so enormous, there is a TV bracket that will fit every type of flat screen TV. So everyone in the UK can get the best from their TV set.
