It would have been a cherry on the cake if the TV had come with a swivel stand, which may be helpful if you plan on placing the TV in a room where you need to adjust the viewing angle. TV mounts with swivel mounts come into consideration when you want to rotate your TV freely without moving it. This is helpful if you have a large entertainment room or want to avoid reflections and glare from lights. The swivel will allow you to rotate the TV freely, while the heavy base ensures that the TV remains securely anchored to the table.
