All the entertainment centers were more or less the same just a few years ago. This probably due to the fact that televisions had not gotten as big as they are now. That made it easy to come up with a design that could fit all of them.However, people now need to buy new furniture every time they upgrade their digital equipment because all of that has changed. In this day and age, big screen TV entertainment centers have to be specifically designed to fit the latest model of televisions.
We purchased a home theater screen a few weeks ago. However, we made the mistake of measuring the big screen TV entertainment center from our previous TV. We thought that there would be no problems because it was of a similar size and shape. Unfortunately, we were unable to fit the new TV.
We did not realize that every entertainment center for big screen TVs is different. The footprint was off in the case of our new TV. The thing will not fit in big screen TV entertainment centers because it was just a little bit too wide from the front to back.
Well, it almost did and I spent about an hour trying to find a way to negotiate the last few inches. Although the difference was only 2 or 3 inches, it could cost us another 600 dollars. We were finally forced to pay after several futile attempts.
I am really amazed at how expensive big screen TV entertainment centers have become because they are nothing but a simple cabinet. In fact, most of them are not even made out of wood anymore. Big screen TV entertainment centers should not be pricey because they are certainly not handcrafted.
Nevertheless, big screen TV entertainment centers still cost a fortune. If we had been budgeting for it, then it wouldn't have been so bad. We had already spent all the money that we wanted to spend on the television. We had not anticipated that big screen TV entertainment centers would lead to additional expenses.
