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??

    if you’re making giant holes in your wall, you’re mounting wrong.

    most wall mounts are going to be two or three bolt holes into a stud. they should be about as big around as a sharpie. if you remove the mount, a small dab of spackle covers them.

      I make big ass holes, but I use toggle bolts for anything heavy that doesn’t line up with the studs, and those need a 1/2" hole.

          The toggle bolts I use are rated for 60lb per bolt. The TV isn’t going anywhere.
