Customer Review: Stand OK, but not great
Like all big screen stands I failed to see the ‘value’ – this is $30 of powder coated steel, powder coated MDF and a couple of glass shelves. Why we are all expected to pay $300 for such things defeats me – oh, yes ‘cos the TV already cost a boat load of money!

The stand is fine – it does the job. For the 61″ Samsung, I would say it is actually too small – the TV does not feel secure on it, feel like the stand needs more depth for the resultant ’structure’ to feel secure. So I’ll anchor the TV to the wall at the top, to avoid tipping – if my kids were younger this would be an absolute must-do modification to the setup.

I bought this for 61A750 (as suggested by Amazon) – Pinnacle make stand which is designed for Samsung 61-67″ TV’s – which I am sure is the one Samsung intend to be used with the 61A750. Caveat emptor.
Customer Review: Pinnacle Design Customer Service is 110%
So I’ve had this stand, TR50X3B, since about March of 2007 when I bought my new DLP TV. It fit perfectly with the design and look of the TV. I have moved twice since then and have had no problems with the stand save having to tighten some of the screws. Whatever no big deal.

The reason I am writing this review is that in my last move, the moving company broke one of the glass shelves. I was devastated since I had carefully packed the two shelves. I emailed the customer service contact which I found from the assembly manual I had kept. They were very pleasant to deal with. I had asked for a price quote for a new shelf since it was past the one year warranty. I waited a week, no response. I end up getting a package the next week, lo and behold, a new glass shelf.

I was ecstatic and amazed about Pinnacle’s customer service. I will, from this point forward, recommend their stands over everyone elses and go to them first when I am looking for a TV stand. They just added a customer for life. A+
