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??

cat is build better. cat can stand good.

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

You can break a TV by knocking it off a table, you can't break a cat that way. Therefore cats are better designed than TVs.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

give your cat some scritches for me :)

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Even then just a piece of wood cut to size to lay on top wouldn’t hurt. Table looks scratched up pretty bad as it is anyways so it’s not like appearance is your game here.

Kitty is probably over in !cats being like “mildly infuriating…. Human is ignoring me for a flimsy idiot box…. And it’s meal time!”

[–] DonPiano@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nah, it's orange, so it's probably not thinking at all.

They think everyone wants to mount them to the wall now, the legs are like the cheapest possible "courtesy" they're willing to include. It's super annoying, I really don't want the thing on my wall with a bunch of wires hanging down

I mean two little hunks of plastic are most definitely cheaper than something big and sturdy in the middle as it needs to be over engineered to make up for the lack of physics being on its side. You can buy an aftermarket TV stand or wall mount it.

There are many thoughtless, idiotic design choices today, for example curved edge phone screens, shitty ultrasonic/photo fingerprint sensors in the scren, no jack connector, microsim, etc. I call it engineer idiotism.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

That and the endless pressure to innovate means they end up suggesting stupid shit no one wants and have the sales folks work that out

I agree. The tipping threat on a TV is almost exclusively front to back, not side to side. Putting the support legs closer to the middle, but still spaced a third of the width of the TV should be totally adequate. I suspect it's an aesthetics thing now.

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I suspect it's a soundbar compatibility thing

Did you measure the table before buying the TV?

Cat: Did you get the accidental coverage Dad? Purrrrr Purrrrr (rubs scent from face on tv) Purr Purr CRASH MRERRRREREOW!!!!!

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Have you tried moving it an inch to the left?

😅 I kid.

You can buy a vesa stand mount though fairly cheap.

Sony currently do a cool thing with their stands where you can place them in 3 or so different position along the tv if you wanted. Finally someone thinking!

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 8 points 2 years ago

I've seen the design and I thought it made good sense mechanically, but I hadn't considered this issue. I wonder if stand designs are getting wider too, as a result.

[–] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (8 children)

that's why i like the lg stand

I'm curious what picture you saw that made you think the legs would be any different.
