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??

      they expect you to know the lengh of your own table that’s why they put the lengh on the site, also, the legs are already short, how OP expext the TV to be stable with it even shorter??

        You can make a stable mount without legs as wide as the TV. I have two 27in, 1440p monitors, which both came with stands that were probably 30% as wide as the monitors themselves. However, the stands were weighted and primarily steel (I’m assuming it was steel anyway) with a plastic shell. A TV doesn’t need a wide base unless the company that made it is cheaping out and refuses to spend the money to make a weighted base.

          Your monitors are probably much more expensive than this TV.

        How is it annoying? I try to wall mount every TV because then I can move it around or angle it easily and it looks 100x better than hanging halfway off a bedside table.

          You have to find the studs, drill holes, make sure you have screws that are long enough (I imagine most wall mounts come with these, but never tried to actually wall-mount a TV), make sure the mount is level, then attach the mount to the wall, then the TV to the mount. That’s if you don’t care about exposed cables, and if you ever plan on showing your room off, someone’s gonna point out the lack of cable management (hurrr… Why aren’t the cables hidden?).

          If you want to hide the cables too, then you have to cut holes in the wall, which means having some kind of saw. If you want the holes to look nice, then you need plates to go over the holes. Depending on the plates – whether they’re a basic, generic passthrough that you push cables through, or something more professional with actual sockets for dedicated inputs/outputs – you may need extra cables, one for each connection you’re wanting to route through the wall, plus extra cables to connect the plate behind the TV to the TV itself.

          Now, if you don’t want to diy it, then you could pay someone to do it which makes it a lot easier on you, but now you’re spending cash to have someone do an easy but annoying and time consuming job for you.

          For me I hate the giant holes in my wall. Taking the mount down is a pain. Once it’s up you can’t move the TV anywhere else. Also, I hate tilting my head up just to see the TV.

          Edit. Apparently not hanging a TV is a criminal offense around here.

            Do you realize you’re allowed to hang your tv at any height you desire? The police won’t arrest you if you just put your tv at eye level.

                    Maybe not post on the internet about issues you have if you’re not interested in people giving you advice. It’s clear you have a lot more issues in addition to not knowing how to hang a TV. Good luck in life.
