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??

cat is build better. cat can stand good.

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

You can break a TV by knocking it off a table, you can't break a cat that way. Therefore cats are better designed than TVs.

give your cat some scritches for me :)

Your orange cat is still trying to process your anger.

Sadly nowadays the stands that come in a box should just be used temporarily tool you get a more permanent solution. You can get done really good mounts that use the VESA mounts at the back.

I would never trust the standard stands, they have way too much wobble to them.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Damn, this is some next level entitled, petulant, energy.

If you're gonna complain, at least try to do it constructively. As opposed to... Whatever this drivel is.

[–] TyGamer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I mean two little hunks of plastic are most definitely cheaper than something big and sturdy in the middle as it needs to be over engineered to make up for the lack of physics being on its side. You can buy an aftermarket TV stand or wall mount it.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

With how cheap, and ubiquitous VESA mounts are - it doesn't make sense to expense $20/TV for a metal stand that everyone is going to throw out.

Kitty is probably over in !cats being like “mildly infuriating…. Human is ignoring me for a flimsy idiot box…. And it’s meal time!”

[–] DonPiano@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah, it's orange, so it's probably not thinking at all.

There are many thoughtless, idiotic design choices today, for example curved edge phone screens, shitty ultrasonic/photo fingerprint sensors in the scren, no jack connector, microsim, etc. I call it engineer idiotism.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That and the endless pressure to innovate means they end up suggesting stupid shit no one wants and have the sales folks work that out

I agree. The tipping threat on a TV is almost exclusively front to back, not side to side. Putting the support legs closer to the middle, but still spaced a third of the width of the TV should be totally adequate. I suspect it's an aesthetics thing now.

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I suspect it's a soundbar compatibility thing

They think everyone wants to mount them to the wall now, the legs are like the cheapest possible "courtesy" they're willing to include. It's super annoying, I really don't want the thing on my wall with a bunch of wires hanging down

Lmao op you are truly a moron

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 9 points 1 year ago

I've seen the design and I thought it made good sense mechanically, but I hadn't considered this issue. I wonder if stand designs are getting wider too, as a result.

why are all of the 48" tv screens bigger than my 32" bedside table?
