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??

    Pepperidge Farm remembers when TVs didn’t even come with a “stand”. It was just a big box with no real “mounting” options.

    I can still remember the sound my back made when I picked up my first 32" TV.

      I used to fear what would happen if I dropped one of the older TV’s on my foot. It was a pretty great motivator to not drop it, and to try to fall towards it if I fell. Sometimes it even took two people to move them because they were heavy and awkward.

      We have definitely advanced in making them more moveable, and I’m happy about that. I don’t miss throwing out my back.

      I do miss the screen static though.
