TV with stand 1 inch too big

[golface]

Hi there guys
Wife loves the 58 samsung, only problem is that it won't fit with the included stand. One inch to tall, the TV sits above the corner fireplace, any suggestions?

Three options:

1) Shave 1 inch off the stand

2) Shave one inch off the TV

3) Shave 1/2 inch off of each

I'd go with option 1

My stand (generic for a Toshiba) has a piece of glass on top that adds 3/4". There are also little rubber feet that add 1/2" Are there these sorts of things where you can gain an easy inch. Shaving an inch off a flat board is nearly impossible.

Option 4, shave an inch off the fireplace. Is there a trim piece that can be removed?

Option 5, get a different stand. BB has dozens of generic models. Pick one that is shorter.

Wow, a 33 foot TV! No wonder you are having trouble fitting it in

Seriously, are you saying the TV is 33 inches high and the stand is approx 54 inches high? That is a very tall stand. Does the TV sit within the stand or on top of it? Not sure I can suggest anything with just this information.

There are a lot of third party TV stands out there for all sizes. Take a look at Best Buy, CC, etc.

Yes, there are generic stands.

If this is a flat panel set, can't you wall mount the thing? That's the whole point of them anyway.

Seriously, there are a ton of wall mount (as well as generic footed) stands for flat panels. There are even some stands that are just hidden ways of making a flat panel appear to be wall mounted.
