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 – 428 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??

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.
