Just got one...does your TV lean slightly (talking a few degrees) backward on the stand? Mine isn't straight 90 degrees to the table, not sure why.

I put mine together myself, but no, it doesn't seem to lean at all, it stand perfectly straight. You could potentially have a defect in your stand, either that or maybe you didn't get the screws in all the way?

Ours is pretty sturdy. We had to make some modifications to hide the wires buts it's fine

Yes, ours leaned back but I just adjusted it slightly (heard a little "pop") and now it's sitting straight and swivels nicely. I think maybe we didn't get the screws properly threaded in the stand initially.

Did you assemble the hardware yourself? When our TV was delivered, the delivery man actually assembled the base, etc. In fact, he said that he had to attend a training on assembly. Our TV does not appear to lean backward at all.

No. It has a very very slight downward tilt to it, just because of the weight of the TV

I also had this issue. What little bit that did go on it didn't go in straight so the top section was leaning. This is really not a well made piece of equipment.

Our table seems to be well balanced. We haven't noticed anything odd. I can remember my husband saying that the bottom stands that the legs are on ..are twisted in. I guess I would measure the height of the legs to make sure they are all at the same height. Maybe one needs to be twisted further? Just a thought.

I cann notice the TILT - plan to call Sony service tomorrow to get the replacement stand. Please share/update yr experience in resolving this issue.I don't want to go thru the hassle of returning and brining a new one unless absolutely necessary.thanks

that is by design, make sure you are not putting it on backwards or something... Mine works great and so glad I got it.

I never have had a problem. All I can think of is it may be hooked up backwards on the in and out cable. If you have sound then it is not backwards.

No, the long base for the television has a slightly smaller base that sits on the table or shelf so the swivel actually moves, while the base remains stationary. I also put felt protectors on the base to make sure it didn't leave an impression and that's worked. But one thing I would be sure of are the measurements of your television base and table. I have a long, hard oak stand and it is perfect for the size and weight of my 36" heavy television. Your TV is 10" wider.

I read somewhere that if you are standing up, the top of the TV needs to be at eye level and if you are sitting down, the bottom frame of the TV needs to be at eye level. That said, I have options on my mount to swivel & tilt it a bit for minor adjustment. I have had it mounted this way for a couple months now without any neck aches. :)

Thanks very much for the info. I lucked out, since my equipment is to the right of the TV and I can't move it to the other side.

One question you should also consider - how much wider is the TV than the stand? Aesthetics may matter to you and the TV may be too large for the stand and may appear "top heavy." I have a 50" on mine, and the overall width of the TV is just a couple of inches shorter on each side (maybe 1 inch?), and has a nice "balance" to the look.

We also did not put our 70" Vizio on the wall and wondered about the stand when we installed the TV....it seemed unsteady. We purchased our TV at the end of November 2012 and have had no problems. We are no longer worried about the stand.

I bought two of these and I had a little difficulty with the stand and it was wobbly with the first one but I was able to push the stand into the bottom of the TV and then tighten the screws. It is a tight fit but when I tightened the screws, it slid together. The stands on both my TVs are good now. No wobbling. I hope that helps.

I have the 50" model. It doesn't tilt up and down, but it slightly twists from left and right. Not much though. Maybe mine's just not screwed in all the way. :)

Yes, TV is heavy & stand is kind of wobbly. Doesn't inspire confidence. I'm just hoping for the best.

I have a 40 inch model, but it looks like the same base. My TV swivels 20° left and 20° right.

It is a bit tilted upward so it is not truly 90 degree angle. With that said, with the TV being tilted, it allows viewing from my perspective comfortably; I did not need to look upward to watch TV too much. Hope this helps...
