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??

    Op didn’t check the specs on the item he bought and is upset it’s not perfectly tailored to his individual tastes.

    You love to see it.

      Show me the affordable TV made in the last 5 years that doesn’t require a stand at least 90% as wide as the TV is

      Don’t say it’s for stability, you could move the feet to be 1/3 of the way in and it’ll be exactly as stable because it isn’t tipping over sideways. Don’t say it’s for a sound bar, this is a TCL, that’s the cheapest “I’m looking for a new TV but make minimum wage” brand you can find

          We have comically different standards for “affordable…” That 32" TV you linked is double the price I paid for my 55" TCL here in the states

            A 55in TCL is £63 more than the one I linked in the UK.

            How cheap are your TVs!? You’re getting 55in screens for under $200?

                That’s a black Friday sale price. And in typical black Friday fashion it’s been advertised to make it look as appealing as possible, that TV doesn’t sell for 500 anywhere.

                Either way, there’s a difference between a budget TV and an affordable TV. You can pick up a TV with a base for £300 pretty easily, and I’d definitely consider that affordable.

        If you can’t afford all of the responsibilities of owning a TV you shouldn’t take on that commitment.
