Why does the TV lean so badly forward in the included stand ? Quite a bit too. Is there a fix besides anchoring it to the wall or jamming something under the front to stop this from happening ?

This was also a problem for me when I first bought the TV. I found another screwdriver and came back to it later. I was able to screw it in more tightly and it stood upright. I have had the TV for 4 months now with no problems.

Hello Phillip and thank you for your interest in our product. We do not recommend you adjust the height of the stand while the TV is mounted. You would need to find the desired height before putting the TV on the stand. Please feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks again Andrea

You have a part going out on it, I had the exact same problem and it was more to get it fixed than it was to buy a new tv. I don't remember what the part was but it was expensive. Mine started doing that right after the warranty ended, and they won't fix it for free. Good luck with it. And I would stay away from their products in the future

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.

I just received delivery of this same Sony last Friday and have noticed the same thing. I have not done anything about correcting it because the delivery man who helped me secure the TV to the pedestal stand didn't think there was anything wrong. This isn't much help, but it's all I know for now.

I wish I could give you an answer on how to adjust, but I was so disappointed with the wobbly stand and POOR picture, I sent my TV back for a refund within 24 hours of hooking it up! Best of luck.

Yes. I can think of a reason. It's poor construction! I had that same TV fall to the floor due to the plastic piece that attaches to the tv a d holds the cable. I would stay away!!!

I found that my stand was wobbly because the screw holes were a bit too small so the screws initially weren't going all the way in to secure the stand. So I put (basically forced) the screws all the way into the TV itself 1st to ensure the holes were wide enough then put them through the stand and it went on with no problem and is completely solid and secure.

I just got the 48" model, and the leaning had me concerned. I called Samsung and they said it is not supposed to lean. I appreciate the advice already given and will try again.

I noticed on mine as well, the optical cable doesnt seat right and wiggles loose easily on its own. try using a hdmi cable. if your priblem persists odds are you have incorrect settings someplace

No the center support does well in supporting the center. Only reason you would have this problem is if you have a TV maybe 42" sitting on front lip. There is no reason a person would move the TV all the way forward. Over time this will wear down carpet and front lip. Either put TV all the way back or centered over center peg.

Make sure that the brackets which attach to the TV have the adjustment screws on the bottom. Also, do not over-tighten the adjustment screws. Hope this helps!

Have not had that problem but I only put a 24" screen LCD TV on it. Sounds like you have too much weight on yours?

That is odd. I bought one of these TV's for my son for Christmas and a wall mount kit. I am sure the bolts were taped onto the stand. I will open it back up tomorrow and measure the bolt length.

The TV is not centered with the rear plate that has the large square hole in it and which normally mounts to the wall. In order to achieve the results I described in my review, I turned the rear plate wiht the extension arms upside down so the round hole in the rear plate is now to the right of the square hole. As a safety precaution, I also flipped the two pivot shafts so the retaining nuts are at the bottom. This will prevent the shafts from falling out of the arms should the nuts come off. No matter how you install the mount, the rear plate will always be offset to the TV so you must consider that when installing the mount inside of an entertainment center cabinet.

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?

Yes, mine constantly tilts forward. I don't know if it's defective or it was assembled incorrectly.
