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??

No thank you. I just want it to sit on the shelf next to my record player

Then get a bloody VESA stand or buy a TV with a stand that fits your desires.

Fucking hell.

Or they could, you know, just include a stand that doesn't suck?

There's no need to get so upset about it

Pay for it, center stands are more expensive because they need a block of steel in them, don't buy the cheapest TV and you'll get a center stand, but the people who complain are also the ones who wouldn't pay the extra for the same model with a center stand.
