LCD mounted on the wall or placed on the unit ?

Wall.
It looks neater, its easier to clean the cabinet and my cabinet didn't like the weight of the TV.
 
From the responses it seems that you should go with using a TV stand.
 
My TV goes in a corner of the room due to *** room design (a door in the middle of each wall) so on the wall is not possible.
 
Next question.
If you use the tv stand, do you use the little holes and tie the tv down as per the included leafet?
 
Definitely wall mount - makes placement of a centre channel speaker easier as well.
 
Quick question to all the wall mounters...what did you do with all the cables from power and devices, to the panel?

Some people just stick ducting against the wall or put all the cables inside one of those plastic tubes etc. That looks like schit...only if all the cables are completely hidden from site, does wall mounting look better.
 
TV stand is for renters.

Nope. I am renting a place now where I have wall mounted my TV.

Although I am moving in two weeks and I will need to cover the holes.. but still. In the new place (Not renting) I will be mounting the TV. It just looks better.
 
Looks better and is a lot safer - I haven't got 15K to throw down the drain.
Wall mount FTW!!

I've got ducting painted to match the colour of the wall so no cords are visible at all.Works for me!

The ideal is to fit conduit with 2 round boxes for cabling and extend a plug point to behind the tv.
Its a bit of a mission but worth it.
 
Wall mounting by far and away is the best option.

I will be chasing my wall to get signal distribution and power behind the TV so it will be all "invisible"

That's what I'm busy doing. Chasing channels into wall with all fittings behind panel. Using Picture Frame Mount to hang panel on wall. Wall is covered by wall paper so all chasing in wall is invisible. Plastic ducting etc. just looks cheap and tacky.
