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 using anecdotes to back up your experience which is never a good sign.

This is a fairly basic TV stand design. If you honestly know 4 people who've struggled with this then I'm not sure what to tell you. Personally I've never heard of anyone have a problem with their TV stand. I myself have a central stand and it's pretty bulky/annoying itself and wouldn't fit on many smaller tables. But if you have an appropriate TV stand it's fine.

So yeah, I do think it's entitled that people expect every TV manufactured to magically work on their specific table, and if it doesn't it's badly designed. Put another way, why don't you look up some reviews of this TV and see how many people rate it highly vs complain about the stand? When I looked at similar designs they were very highly rated, so at least for the majority of people it's well designed and acknowledging you cannot have a single design that works for everyone.

OP in his post said he saw it in person so they even knew what they were buying and could easily measure it. I don't know how they can honestly go back and say it's badly designed and doesn't fit their table when they literally saw how it was designed and could have easily measured it out if they chose to.
