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??
it is… a large tv… you need… uhmmm… a large space to put it on. Oh my god. This is a one year old post. Nevermind, you can do whatever you want with you large ass tv.
If the TV is VESA compatible, there are tons of third-party stand options.
This post sure brought out the ugly in some people…

I had to double check to see if I was on Reddit instead of lemmy. It begins…
I don’t have anything to say about the TV sitch but your cat is pretty.
How dare the tv manufacturers and homesense not discuss each other the exact width of possibility you would purchase both products.
Came across the same issue when I set up my dads new bedroom telly for him, I bodged it up with a plank on top of the dresser it was sitting on.
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.
almost all advice i see given in lemmy has at least a minor insult and i gotta say I’m here for it
It’s cheaper to make it that way. Less materials needed.
Did you measure the table before buying the TV?
Mount it on the wall jackass.
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.
I suspect it’s a soundbar compatibility thing
Good point!
I don’t understand why most of the commenters are against you, i find the change from center stands to edge stands annoying. Especially since it seems difficult find smaller TVs nowadays
Because you bought a really cheap TV and the little feet on the sides are cheaper than a center stand that needs to be much heavier and sturdier.
Yeah that’s one of those companies that buy bulk cheap TVs to slap their logo on and make out they’re a tech company… Looking at you Kogan.
TCL owns it’s own panel manufacturing company.
The latter half of your comment are probably what use TCL panels, but in this case, this is straight from the source.
Hmm if that’s the case I might try the TCL codes on my Universal remote, can’t get it to work with my Kogan tv.
Because the TV is exactly the same width.
This is the conspiracy theorist in me, but it feels a little like they intentionally made it that way to sell more mounts.
