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??

    They’re expecting you to have a mount for your wall, already installed, even, from the last TV. So the legs are an afterthought, they’re cheap, easy to remove and you’ll probably toss them, they know. So they’re enough to use for store display, no more.

      Some rental places don’t allow you to mess with walls and it would require repainting if you move.

      So not always an option.

        Buying a paint can and some spackle isn’t expensive enough to prevent me from drilling into the walls (unless you’ve got popcorn walls or something and that’s just foul). I have done it it in several rentals and got my deposit back in full. The other portion option though in this instance is to buy a VESA mount. Some of which can even just be mounted to the tv stand.

        But also, people should do research before they buy things.
