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??
They don't expect you to have a stand at all. They expect you to buy a separate wall mount piece and mount it directly on the wall.
they expect you to know the lengh of your own table that's why they put the lengh on the site, also, the legs are already short, how OP expext the TV to be stable with it even shorter??
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.
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.
??????
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%20with%20center%20stand
It's definitely a cost cutting feature and you definitely can't expect a $200 TV to have a weighted center stand these days.
I will never mount a TV on the wall. That shits annoying.
How is it annoying? I try to wall mount every TV because then I can move it around or angle it easily and it looks 100x better than hanging halfway off a bedside table.
The annoying thing for me is that you have to plug them in and hiding the power cord from dangling down the wall to an outlet sucks, and the only other option is to wire it up through the wall, which is way more work.
That and, again, the mount is sold separately for like 90% of TVs. Just include a basic one with the TV. It's literally just a piece of machined metal.
Or you can just buy one for < $60 to fit your particular use case exactly

I just use these to hide any cables and it makes them nearly invisible.
It would be nice if they included mounts, but the VESA mounting system is standardized and there are lots of different styles of mounts to fit your needs.
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.
Are you not passing cables through the wall when you wall mount?
I make big ass holes, but I use toggle bolts for anything heavy that doesn't line up with the studs, and those need a 1/2" hole.
Never rely on toggle bolts to hand a tv, find the studs and use lag bolts
The toggle bolts I use are rated for 60lb per bolt. The TV isn't going anywhere.
Yeah I don't want to spackle my walls, thanks.
How often do you move your TV off its shelf?
Do you plan on painting ever? That would be the perfect time to fill the holes and paint over them..
Fantastic.
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.
Yes. Your reason is just dumb.
Maybe not post on the internet about issues you have if you're not interested in people giving you advice. It's clear you have a lot more issues in addition to not knowing how to hang a TV. Good luck in life.
I think they might have mixed you up with OP
You have to find the studs, drill holes, make sure you have screws that are long enough (I imagine most wall mounts come with these, but never tried to actually wall-mount a TV), make sure the mount is level, then attach the mount to the wall, then the TV to the mount. That's if you don't care about exposed cables, and if you ever plan on showing your room off, someone's gonna point out the lack of cable management (hurrr... Why aren't the cables hidden?).
If you want to hide the cables too, then you have to cut holes in the wall, which means having some kind of saw. If you want the holes to look nice, then you need plates to go over the holes. Depending on the plates -- whether they're a basic, generic passthrough that you push cables through, or something more professional with actual sockets for dedicated inputs/outputs -- you may need extra cables, one for each connection you're wanting to route through the wall, plus extra cables to connect the plate behind the TV to the TV itself.
Now, if you don't want to diy it, then you could pay someone to do it which makes it a lot easier on you, but now you're spending cash to have someone do an easy but annoying and time consuming job for you.
This is mostly unnecessary. I just slap the wall mount up into the studs, hang the TV, and use a $7 cable concealer to hide the power cord. Dedicated outlets for power and video behind the TV is great but that's more suited for rich people or electricians.
