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??

Hahahaha what do you mean? This has to be satire. Nobody is that dense right? If it doesn't fit, don't buy it lmao.

Is it that hard to read the post? OP is right, almost every TV on the market has the same cheap, shitty plastic feet, and they're spaced as far apart as possible so you're unnecessarily size-limited when trying to buy something like a bedroom TV to sit on top of bookshelves or a tallboy.

I'd like something more than 32" for my bedroom too, but I can find one new 40-42" TV on the market with a central stand now, and it is some obscenely expensive 4K OLED thing from Sony. I am keeping an eye out for older, pre-owned TVs as a result, but am yet to find any good deals.

They are that far apart to accommodate soundbars

I don't know a single damn person buying a TCL who has sound bar money

Central stands are just not that safe on bigger screens. Sadly, the easy way is to place feet on each side of the screen. One could always go for a wall mount.

If you don't like a product, don't buy it and if you know that every product has this design, then it's hardly a surprise when you unbox it at home.

This posts seems like OP didn't check if the TV would fit before buying and now they're angry at themselves.

Central stands made as shittily as the ones they put in the box, sure. A proper good central stand that uses the VESA mounts of a TV is a million times safer in my opinion

Almost like you get what you pay for. The manufacturer goes for the cheapest stand to make the entire TV cheaper.

If it had a good central stand it might be more expensive and then OP would buying a different cheaper TV with shitty stands.
