I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head in the first part of your second paragraph. I'd be surprised if the majority of people still just flop their TVs on a TV stand. Everyone I know who has bought an LCD recently has hung it, and has all of their equipment in an adjacent cabinet or shelf or whatever. This allows you to have a lighter TV, and thus, a smaller mount (since that's what REALLY takes up the space on a wall mount TV install).
Either way, regardless, even if lots of people wanted to just stick their TV on a table, there are plenty of TVs for them to choose from. Even if this TV only hit a niche market, I think it's concept will be plenty successful. I know I'd buy one.
