I don't know what the warranty is but all Flat-Panel HDTVs come with the stands you see under them in the product images... and yes, the stand is removable. You should understand that a wall mount is an extra, purely optional, accessory; a TV needs to be sold with a stand so it can properly sit upright. Many people can't afford (or just don't want) to toss the extra (ridiculously priced) $100 or so for a wall mount on top of the hefty price of a 50" so all TVs come with their pictured stands. You just paid all that $$$, the friggin' TV manufacturer better throw in a stand so you watch it w/o having to prop it up against something haphazardly!
