I think nothing at all would look odd personally, like a black box floating on the wall. A credenza makes a good addition to a living space, you could float the tv over it. Answer from ashleylib on reddit.com

r/interiordecorating on Reddit: What can I use instead of a TV stand?
January 5, 2024 -

We have an old TV stand that I think no longer goes with the rest of the room + I think the room has too much wood already and I’d like to mount the TV on the wall and get rid of the stand entirely. In its place, I was thinking of adding a bench with storage. Or maybe nothing at all (although my husband will complain about his PS4 having no place). Please ignore the box on the left.

You can get TV legs on Amazon for $25-30 and put it on any table or get a cheap TV shelf. That's what I did. More on reddit.com

Ideas for a TV stand?
Bestå is the modern option you're looking for from IKEA. I'm a big fan, because it's very customizable, and looks more expensive than it is. You can also customize it with different fronts and legs: https://www.thespruce.com/sources-for-customizing-ikea-furniture-3017328 A lot of your options look too tall to me. I have a 65" TV and you want it to be closer to the ground than you're realizing, because otherwise the middle of the screen won't be at eye height. Make sure you check the dimensions/draw a diagram for whatever you pick. More on reddit.com

I think the last one is a good choice. It will look more put together as it’s made to go in the corner. Although I really like the other option too! More on reddit.com
