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??

Bro… That TV is over 7 years old, meant for health centers, and probably weighs 2 - 3 times the TV in OOP.

While yes, it is annoying, nothing modern has a center stand. https://www.google.com/search?q=tv with center stand

It’s definitely a cost cutting feature and you definitely can’t expect a $200 TV to have a weighted center stand these days.

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.

If my 75" TV can have a small center stand under it there’s no excuse for smaller tvs to have extra wide stands.

This is like a $150 TV. They aren’t going to make a $50 solid steel base and internal frame for that over some cheap injection molded legs.
