Practical reference

A television should not be placed on furniture simply because the screen physically fits above it.

The supporting surface, TV base, depth, weight, and stability all matter.

## Check the TV and furniture together

Before lifting, confirm:

- TV size and weight where documented;
- base or foot footprint;
- furniture depth and width;
- furniture stability;
- manufacturer stand requirements where uncertain.

The person doing the work does not invent furniture load limits or use undersized unstable furniture.

## Protect the screen during handling

Large televisions may require two people for safe lifting.

The screen should not be used as a handhold or laid against a hard surface.

Manufacturer handling guidance controls where the TV can safely be gripped or rested.

## Attach supplied feet or base correctly

If the television uses manufacturer-supplied tabletop feet or a compatible pedestal already intended for that TV, they can be attached according to the instructions.

Wrong bolts or improvised mounting hardware should not be substituted.

## Place and check stability

Center the TV on the supporting furniture and confirm the feet or pedestal sit fully on the surface.

Check that ordinary power and HDMI cables are not pinched, stretched, or pulling the set toward an edge.

## Keep setup separate from configuration

Basic external cable connection is in scope.

Smart-TV account setup, apps, network configuration, and software troubleshooting belong to the Tech Help TV services.

Wall mounting, drilling, brackets, stud finding, in-wall cable routing, and furniture modification are outside this task.

The finished result should be a TV physically supported by furniture that is suitable for the television and left stable with ordinary external cabling arranged without strain.
