Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice - eviltoast

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??

    You might be blinded by your own country’s prices there mate, but even considering that, not many people are calling any $400 TV “high end”.

    By all means have a look on UK amazon (or any UK store) for a new 55in screen for under £200 though…

    A high end tv is over a grand, whether that’s from US Walmart or UK John Lewis. What “high end” TV can you show me advertised at $400? Lets keep it simple and just say any OLED 55in screen. Not particularly high end necessarily but I bet you can’t find a $400 one, in fact I doubt you’ll find one for 3figures.

    I just checked Walmart US and not sure how you arrived at 240. The absolute cheapest 55in TV is 250. Where you get 240 average i have no idea, maybe a few TVs elsewhere but they’re at the absolute bottom rung for quality and we’re talking about affordable TVs , not budget ones.
