Missing stand i purchased a 6 yr old 42" westinghouse tv and it was mounted on the wall and the stand is missing. i'd like to avoid mounting it on the wall and i can't seem to find a replacement stand. Any suggestions? thanks.

Put tv on bed face down and look at the stand and locate and remove any and all screws holding stand to the flat screen set. Then after mounting the wall plate per instructions mount the tv to wall mounting.

You maybe lucky, but make sure the mounting holes on the stand matches your TV.
Alternately you can use a wall mounting and these have mounting holes that suit most TVs.

If you search on Ebay for your TV's exact model number, sometimes you can find a replacement stand for it there from someone who has their TV mounted to the wall and is no longer using it. These are normally fairly heavy and bulky items, so Ebay purchase prices and shipping costs can vary widely.

I did not see any for your exact model of TV available there when I looked, but the online selection changes daily, so you can always keep checking back. Just search on Ebay for 'HITACHI TV STAND' or 'HITACHI TV BASE' and you will see a wide variety of them available for different Hitachi TV models as well as what the average price for them is. Otherwise you can just buy a generic wall mount floor stand for around $100 which bolts to the TV like a wall mount, but actually sits on the floor instead of being bolted to the wall.

Here are some links to a few different models currently available on Ebay which include pictures so you can see what I mean:

I hope that was helpful to you, good luck and take care.

many people take tv sets in for repairs and leave them there when the quote is not accepted
as a consequence many repair shops have bins full of dead tvs many of which will still gave a base attached
might be worth your while trolling the repair shops and see if you can beg , borrowr or pay for a base from one of them

There are many better and cheaper stands that can make it a self mounted tv.

Electronics stores do not stock extra stands for TVs. Each TV comes with one stand and that stand goes with the TV.

If you contact Philips directly you may be able to purchase a stand on it's own, but this isn't likely if your TV is over a few years old.

Check ebay and see if anything is available in your area, if not, you may be limited to purchasing a hybrid stand to mount on or wall mounting.

I could not locate a stand for purchase on http://www.partstore.com/Model/Samsung/Samsung/PDP4294LV1.aspx
By the way, your tv is a rebranded Samsung model.
Without the stand, you only option would be to wall mount the tv.
You can purchase a wall mount for your tv from your local Wal-Mart or something to that effect for around $30.

Yes, you can purchase the stand to your television through ebay.com

Try the T.V. manufactures website, E-Bay or the store where you got the T.V. from.

The cheapest I have found is Videosecu Dual Arm TV Wall Mount Bracket for Sony Bravia 32 37 40 42 46 50... on amazon. I hope this was helpful. regards
