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've seen the design and I thought it made good sense mechanically, but I hadn't considered this issue. I wonder if stand designs are getting wider too, as a result.

that's why i like the lg stand

[-] GrimChaos@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Part of the reason I went with a smaller (ha, 55 inch is ”smaller") lg OLED because it had one central base stand, opposed to the larger 65 in OLED that didn't have just one central stand.

How dare the tv manufacturers and homesense not discuss each other the exact width of possibility you would purchase both products.

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Have you tried moving it an inch to the left?

😅 I kid.

You can buy a vesa stand mount though fairly cheap.

Sony currently do a cool thing with their stands where you can place them in 3 or so different position along the tv if you wanted. Finally someone thinking!

DON'T BE FOOLED! This post was made by the cat! It wants narrower TV stands so it can knock them over easier when its owner forgets to feed it!

[-] Zellith@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

If feet at the edge of the tv (done for stability) is a stupid design, what would you do differently?

This is the conspiracy theorist in me, but it feels a little like they intentionally made it that way to sell more mounts.

[-] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Damn, this is some next level entitled, petulant, energy.

If you're gonna complain, at least try to do it constructively. As opposed to... Whatever this drivel is.

[-] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Because the TV is exactly the same width.

[-] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 6 points 1 year ago

No idea but cute cat
