A:AnswerMy TV stand is 40 inches wide, and the legs that came with the TV just barely hung over the stand on either side. The legs themselves take about three inches of width because of the way they are positioned—they're not simply parallel, which lends greater stability. I'd say you'd want a stand at least 46 or 48 inches wide to accommodate this television. You can also procure alternative stand mounts, some pedestal, some two-legged varieties, but sometimes these wind up a little too close to the center for the stability you may desire. My best friend was able to rig up a couple of steel brackets to the back of the television that fit on my TV stand with some legs I purchased separately, but unless you're skilled enough to do that—my buddy was, but I am not!—my advice would be to make sure that your stand is wide enough at the outset.
A:AnswerYou can set up a “sleep timer” so it turns off after a certain amount of time. Even if you don’t set that up, it will automatically shut off after about 5 minutes if you fall asleep watching a streaming movie.
