luckily this is just a 32; i had a 70 from the same brand with the same INSANELY FUCKING STUPID STAND DESIGN that i had to find something for....literally at the most extreme edges of the thing, what the fuck is this? this is so fucking stupid, it cannot be meaningfully cheaper than a proper design and it looks fucking dumb as hell and surely this has pissed off 90% of people that wanted a TV and want to put it on a little stand like a normal fucking person right??
Because the TV is exactly the same width.
Just got my first TV since my old vacuum tube stopped working in the early 90s. 55" Sony flat screen. It has gour fixtures for its stands: a pair that's narrow close to the centre, and a pair if you want a wide stance. I didn't mind the wide option, but I appreciated having a choice.
you bought a cheap TV on black Friday, what did you expect?
My 2008 Samsung had a great center stand. My new TCL has those little feet. Solution is spend another $30 or so on a center stand.
Don’t buy TCL if you want a nice stand included.
Noticed this trend like a decade ago with LG. They used to have a stand in the middle which was much better design wise.
also the Samsung manual would tell you to use the tv on a platform as deep as it's height???? wtf
That is so in case it falls then it falls onto the TV Stand not a child.
They don't expect you to do that - but too many people went 'I didn't know' right after their baby head caved in because they didn't child proof anything.
Usually, It's to distribute the weight. Cheaper brands won't put the weight in the base needed.my LG oled came with a massive but narrow base. I mounted to the wall with a pull and tilt mount and sold the base on offer up for $50.
Agree. I’m canvassing for a 65” TV and I need to include the entertainment stand in the budget because it won’t fit on the current one I have for my 43”.
Came across the same issue when I set up my dads new bedroom telly for him, I bodged it up with a plank on top of the dresser it was sitting on.
That leg design is incredibly ugly as well.
Does it have VESA mount?
Most modern tvs have some kind of vesa, so you can just spend the 50 bucks on a mount, like this one.
I'm confused why there is a cat in this photo
OP is clearly complaining that TVs are as wide as his cat.
Get a board and put it beneath the thing?
