I finally ordered a 65" 4K TV, redeeming my Airmiles points and getting myself off that capsizing boat. From my 8 foot viewing distance, it should be a major upgrade from a 30º viewing angle to 40º for roughly the same footprint. My upstairs 52" 1080p (bought in 2008, just look at those bezels) will be reassigned to the basement family room, and the 37" 720p there will be retired.

Unfortunately, I need to a swivel tabletop TV mount to fit on my TV stand. The ones available in nearby retailers are overpriced:

There's a couple of brands that are a third the price. Is there any reason I should avoid the less expensive brands? I don't want to discover that you get what you pay for.

I went with a Perlesmith PSTVS13 swiveling TV stand. Assembly took no more than 30 minutes, and the quality was fine.

A downside of a swivel design using a single axis bolt is that it's wobbly if jostled. The new TV lacks a 50/50 weight distribution from left to right, so I had to mount the television off center by more than an inch to keep it level. But the price was right, and there's no obvious skimping otherwise.
