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??
Cost cutting. When huge TVs only cost a few hundred dollars and everything else has gotten super expensive, they have to cut corners
Why is it cutting corners though?
Ideally you’d have the option for both a central stand and the two sides in the one box, but then that’s being wasteful and bad for the environment.
There really isn’t a good option here. In that case I’d say it’s on the consumer to figure out beforehand what the stand is and decide whether they like it or not, not on the company to magically know what stand the consumer needs.
Many companies do shitty things but this stand issue really is a non-issue.
Make center stands great again
Yes and then we can have other mildly infuriating posts about this from the other side - why does my TV have a shitty central stand when it could just have two stands on the side? Clearly bad design.
Nobody ever complained about center stands
