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??

    For me I hate the giant holes in my wall. Taking the mount down is a pain. Once it’s up you can’t move the TV anywhere else. Also, I hate tilting my head up just to see the TV.

    Edit. Apparently not hanging a TV is a criminal offense around here.

      if you’re making giant holes in your wall, you’re mounting wrong.

      most wall mounts are going to be two or three bolt holes into a stud. they should be about as big around as a sharpie. if you remove the mount, a small dab of spackle covers them.

        I tend to rearrange my livingroom more than once a lifetime.

          Do you plan on painting ever? That would be the perfect time to fill the holes and paint over them…

                It is. My walls aren’t drywall.
                Strange how upset you and a couple other people get about someone else’s living room and TV though.

                  I don’t see anyone being upset over it, actually just several people trying to help you. Have a great day, weirdo!

      Do you realize you’re allowed to hang your tv at any height you desire? The police won’t arrest you if you just put your tv at eye level.

        Frankly, the crime should be if you put it at anything but eye level.

        Do you realize I simply do not want my TV hanging on a wall?
