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??

    He knew the dimensions of the place where the TV was supposed to go.

    He went to the store, saw the TV, he saw the box with a picture of it.

    So he brought it home, unpacked it, placed it where it was obviously not going to be able to go.

    Then he plugged it in and turned it on.

    And instead of just putting it back in its packaging and bringing it back to the store and admit defeat. Or order a new piece of furniture Amazkea.

    He instead went on here to fucking complain.

      They gambled on an eyeball measurement from memory and lost. It’s not that deep.

      They don’t need to return it because it can still be mounted on a stand or wall. And maybe they want to watch crooked Netflix in the meantime.

      …And they complained on mildly infuriating, which seems appropriate because it’s not that big of a deal.

      Actually it’s been a design standard for a long time for screens to have a single pedestal support in the center. It’s reasonable for OP to buy a TV without checking because until recently these side legs wouldn’t have existed.
