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??
So take it back? If you put it back in the packaging and said "hey, this doesn't fit where I want it", they should take it back. I've never dealt with a store that wouldn't.
I could see this if you ordered it online, sight unseen. Like, if the website were text-based and had no pictures and the description was "It's a TV". But you were at a physical store...
He knew the dimensions of the place where the TV was supposed to go.
He went to the store, saw the TV, he saw the box with a picture of it.
So he brought it home, unpacked it, placed it where it was obviously not going to be able to go.
Then he plugged it in and turned it on.
And instead of just putting it back in its packaging and bringing it back to the store and admit defeat. Or order a new piece of furniture Amazkea.
He instead went on here to fucking complain.
They gambled on an eyeball measurement from memory and lost. It's not that deep.
They don't need to return it because it can still be mounted on a stand or wall. And maybe they want to watch crooked Netflix in the meantime.
...And they complained on mildly infuriating, which seems appropriate because it's not that big of a deal.
All he needs is a small piece of plywood for $5 to fix this.
Actually it’s been a design standard for a long time for screens to have a single pedestal support in the center. It’s reasonable for OP to buy a TV without checking because until recently these side legs wouldn’t have existed.
Both me and my flatmate got new TVs to replace our decade+ old ones. Cannot find a single 40+ inch TV within our price ranges that comes with a center stand, it's all feet. It's a shame, we liked having our TVs sitting next to each other in the living room to play pseudosplitscreen video games, but now they don't fit.
Have you considered buying one with feet and spending $30 on a vesa stand to solve the issue?
Before this thread, I'd never heard of them, but I fully plan on buying two of them within the next week
Nice :)
Feels like everyone is taking this a little too seriously for something mildy infuriating.
Surely, op is capable of solving this minor issue, which is why they rolled the dice that it might fit.
