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 – 426 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??

Once the TV is hung and adjusted, it has no risk of being knocked over by your cat

My cat can jump to the middle of my mounted TV with a nice amount of force. I'm sure if she wanted to, she'd find a way to jump to the top and break it.

If your cat weighs enough to break your TV by jumping on top of it, it may be time to put that cat on a diet.
