The secret to a harmonious appearance are the proportions of TV and your entertainment unit.
Your entertainment unit should be a few centimeters wider and deeper than the TV. This is not just about aesthetics, but for safety risk as well. You want to make sure your TV has a solid stand and won’t knock off accidentally.

Another factor to consider when choosing a TV unit is the height. You want your screen to sit at a good viewing level and angle. The optimal position for a TV is just below eye level.
Low TV stands come in a height up to 50 cm. Usually they are designed minimal and sleek, with the right balance of aesthetic and functionality.
Medium TV stands have a height of 50-60 cm. This is considered the right height for TV, and most entertainment units on the market follow this rule.
