Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice
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??

The wider the TV gets, the more stable a two-feet-at-the-ends design becomes compared to a single central foot.
Plus if you need anything else, VESA mounts are super-standard and you just get whatever you need then use it on every Tv you buy.
For those that live in apartments, there are VESA stands that mount to the back of your furniture, and others that use a clamp for tables, so you don’t have to put holes in your walls. I use one on my desk for a fairly wide monitor.
If you’re unfamiliar with VESA mounts, just take note of which of the two standards your device uses. These are going to be either 75x75mm or 100x100mm. Verify with a ruler, don’t rely on the literature to be accurate.
If you wanna be mega-bougie about it, you can get just the mounting plate, and there is couple hardware available to pair it with aluminum extrusion, if you really like that 2040/2080 extrusion.
Have my tv mounted on a VESA monitor arm.
The sloped design made it a bit hard to attach the plate but it worked well enough.
Curved monitors don't have flat mounts? Seriously? That's stupid af.
In my experience, you get spacers to make the VESA mount flat.
No no.
Straight TV panel but sloped backside.
Who the fuck let a designer get close to the back of that thing. Only ever allow designers to view the front of anything, the back is for business.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Samsung was the culprit.
Was fun searching for compatible M screws as a newbie at the hardware store.
Since it's an older model (around 2016) it was probably a trick to get a thinner look with the hardware.
Interesting and slightly worrying design by the manufacturer, tbh.
I have a TV with a sloped backside, but the VESA part had a removable panel that was replaced with a non-curved one before putting in the screws.
I wish higher end TVs had the option to buy without the stand. They always have beefy center stands in the box even though everyone mounts high end TVs.
Now I'm just stuck with a 50lbs stand that I have no use for.
