Bought a new TV stand from Costco last weekend. TV is 52" from the floor to the center of a 52" lcd. Looks pretty good at this height. There is a slight pitch forward on this stand. It is a pole mounted on the back of a 3 tier glss shelf stand. The TV support swivels a bit left and right. Big hit with the wife. (Yeah I bought this without her but I could have taken it back. We had looked at some on the internet so I already knew she liked this style)
