TV stand load

Not sure if this belongs here or in the DIY forum, but here goes ....

I bought a new TV just over three years ago and a fancy Sonorous glass and metal cantilever stand for it. The TV was a 40" Samsung and has been fine.

I'm now after an upgrade to OLED and the smallest one I can find is 55". I was after a bit of a size upgrade - 50" or so would have been enough. Anyway, I was getting ready to buy the TV and it occurred to me to check the specs of the stand. The base of the stand is well over the width of the 55" set, but the specs say the stand can only cope with up to 42". Strange thing though is that it also says maximum weight of TV is a whopping 50kg. My Samsung is just under 10kg and the LG I am looking at is about 14kg. The stand itself weighs a tonne so I can't see any chance of a 14kg set toppling it. I wonder if the 42" limit is because when the stand was designed about 6 years ago TVs weighed a lot more?

Anyone got an opinion of my chances of coming home to the whole lot collapsed on the floor if I go ahead and lash the new TV to the stand (which I really don't want to replace)?

That's exactly the reason, plasmas weighed much more.

I think my 60" plasma is about 40kg, I imagine a led lcd would be half that

Looked into this further and it seems LG do not use standard VESA mounting points on their TVs, so there was no chance of getting one on the cantilever bit in the end. I'm going to try and remove those parts and just have the TV on its own stand on the glass top of the stand.
