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??

    I mean two little hunks of plastic are most definitely cheaper than something big and sturdy in the middle as it needs to be over engineered to make up for the lack of physics being on its side. You can buy an aftermarket TV stand or wall mount it.

      With how cheap, and ubiquitous VESA mounts are - it doesn’t make sense to expense $20/TV for a metal stand that everyone is going to throw out.

      The two pieces of plastic don’t need to be right at the ends though, a third of the way in would probably be perfectly fine

        They put them so far apart so you can put a sound bar underneath. If it weren’t this way someone else would be complaining here that their new Black Friday soundbar doesn’t fit under there TV.
