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??
well good thing they’re a professional company with professional engineers, glad they’re taking the easy route
i bought it because i was at the store and thought ‘damn a bedroom tv would be nice’ and it was black friday. it’s only 32" i hope it fits on the table, and if not i can rig something up, but either way, god fucking dammit these new legs are terrible design because now i have to think about this instead of them just having a damn stand in the center like everyone used to
was sort of what i was thinking
$18 on Amazon, more adjustable than any stand that could possibly be included in the box:

This would involve successfully finding a wall stud to install on and the use of power tools. With the information OP has revealed about themselves, that seems like a recipe for a broken TV and half a wall ripped out or a trip to the ER. Of course it will be the fault of the drill manufacturer and they might sue.
So take it back? If you put it back in the packaging and said “hey, this doesn’t fit where I want it”, they should take it back. I’ve never dealt with a store that wouldn’t.
I could see this if you ordered it online, sight unseen. Like, if the website were text-based and had no pictures and the description was “It’s a TV”. But you were at a physical store…
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.
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.
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.
