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

_number8_@lemmy.world to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 424 points –

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??

Nobody tell him about what TV makers expected of you when they were all CRTs…

When they weighed 70+ lbs.

I'm old enough to remember when there were TV repairmen who came to your house.

We had a tv sitting on the floor for a month at one house when I was a kid because that's as far as we could lift it inside and decided that's where it's living untill we build our giant tv cabinet.

LBS - Local Bike Shop? How do you measure weight in bike shops?

Lb is the Latin abbreviation for a pound, which English has inexplicably assimilated.
