The true reason is cost, those stands that are included nowadays are insanely cheap and flimsy. If you're buying a large TV, you should budget $30-$50 for a VESA mount.
Yep, that's what I figured happened when they went from proper swivel pedestals to those stupid wedges. Hell even computer monitors are joining in on the action, the number of brand new, fairly high end and expensive monitors whose stock base is just bolted to the back and have zero adjustments is ridiculous.
I got a VESA stand for my grandparents TV for 15 bucks. Solid steel and sturdy as fuck.
Yep, and the manufacturer can't even be bothered to spend that much more money to include a high quality stand with a thousand dollar TV with already high profit margins. Somehow, having to throw the default OEM parts in a landfill because they're intentionally low quality and barely usable and being forced to buy a passable replacement separately is just a thing that they expect us to do now. Capitalism innovates y'all!
Exactly. 15 bucks is my retail cost.
I bet mass producing those vesa feet to include in the box wouldnt even add 5 bucks to the total cost, and no one would care or notice the price, and would love the stronger, sturdier base that doesnt require the entire USS Nimitz just to set the damn thing down on.
