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??

    All of you saying you need center stands don’t realize how much heavier the stand needs to be for safety. For cheap TVs, you will get wide stands for freight reasons. They usually come with mounting mechanisms where you can get your own stand that will cost more than the TV itself.

    Common sense people. If these shipped with center stands the cost would be double and you’d be complaining about how there’s no TV deals anymore.

      A center stand for a TV this size can be had for less than $25 retail price. If you call it a “monitor stand”, you can find one for $15 or less. That’s hardly “more than the TV itself”.

        It’s a 32" TCL. Those are like $130. We’re talking a 5-10% increase in price which definitely isn’t double, but it’s significant enough to dramatically affect sales.
