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
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??
You're viewing a single thread.
So many people attacking OP and perhaps not remembering there was a time when nearly all flat panel TVs came on a pedestal mount. The designs were largely changed to mitigate claims and liability.
On the other hand, if you buy something, check what you're buying. Don't complain if you don't even know what you're buying.
Maybe the higher end TVs publish the feet width on the box, but the one I got a few years ago sure didn't. It was actually really frustrating to find that info for any of the TVs I was looking at at the time.
Even looking at a modern budget TV from Amazon, it doesn't say anything about the width of the legs on the product page. https://www.amazon.com/amazon-fire-tv-50-inch-4-series-4k-smart-tv/dp/B0B3GTSQ9Q/
I found what I believe to be a very similar (if not the same) TV that OP has, and it also doesn't have the specs listed on the Bestbuy website. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-43-class-s4-s-class-4k-uhd-hdr-led-smart-tv-with-google-tv/6538141.p?skuId=6538141
Did it have a picture on the box?
Pedestal mounts suck. Too wobbly.
One large source of liability also sitting on the desk in that picture, in fact.
