Envioments for showing off objects

Ok, we have all seen it, where there is a model with no special envioment or anything like that, just a blank white one with a plane and a light, and shadows. And I am wondering if any of you know some way (trick or tip) to quickly set up those things?

Cause what I usally end up doing is setting the envioment background (using max 6) to white, and then put a huge plane (usally 1,000ft x 1,000ft) underneath the object. Set up a light and go. But the problem is that you end up seeing where the light fades, and it doesn't look like an endless envioment. Do you guys have any solutions to this?

Reason being is that I want to make the objects, put them into a quick envioment to make a nice render and show it off. But since I can't figure a way to get the envioment to look nice, I end up having to show it from the top or bottom looking up....Such as this WIP:

And I would rather have a nice clean looking white envio.....
