the appropriate stand for your TV.
Caution: If you choose not to use the stand recommended for your TV,

take precautions that the stand or other furniture the TV is placed on is

properly located and of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from
accidentally being pushed off, pulled off, or tipped over. This could cause
damage to the TV and/or personal injury.
