“Does the full width of the tv need to sit on the cabinet? I would sit the tv on top of a cabinet (which is 52.5" wide). I may purchase the 65", which has a width of 57.25" wide. I heard the full width needs to sit on top of the cabinet. Is this true?”

The cabinet we have looks GREAT with the TV and is 65 inches so the entire TV rests on the cabinet - based on what I see I would say that if you are not mounting on the wall or a mount that is part of the stand if the base speaker which is in the piece that flips back and holds the TV ALMOST vertically (it does tilt back a bit) is on the stand and it is about 24 inches it will work fine - the TV is a little heavy so you need to make sure your stand can hold the weight otherwise I think it will be fine. I would say the biggest concern would be if the stand can handle the weight - the width is not a BIG deal but then again you do not want a child running around the left or right side and hooking a piece of clothing and pulling the TV off the stand either. The more the TV rests on the stand the more STABLE it will be.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It would be wise to have the tv fully supported, the bottom edge of the tv will be sitting directly on whatever you place it on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Definitely, yes - you will need a cabinet that will support the full width of the screen. Although there is a "stand" behind the centre of the screen, the entire bottom edge of the screen rests on the surface that the TV is placed on and I would definitely not want even a few inches sticking out from either side of the it. (My main reason for saying this is that the screen is very thin and quite fragile and I think that the bottom edge should either be "not supported at all" when the TV is wall mounted on a bracket or "supported all of the way across" when the TV is sitting on a ledge or cabinet.) If you go to Sony's website you can download the user manual for the TV which will give you a better understanding of which mounting options might work best for you.
