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??

    No one has seemed to mention the rise of sound bars. Center stands block sound bars and so so many people are using them now.

      That’s because TV’s no longer come with decent audio because they are made as thin as possible for whatever reason.

        Bought a new OLED from LG last year. Main body is 3-4 inches thick and the sound is bloody incredible. There are still some gems out there

        No surprise, a wide screen tv from the late 90s was big enough to house 2 gaint speakers and a subwoofer.

          And took up half your room, and weighed 800 lbs, no thanks.

            My dad’s place still has a gigantic plasma TV from 2000 that takes up maybe 1/3rd of the room it’s in. Great picture, great sound. Completely impractical.

          Those sony Trinitrons sounded so damn good, you could hook up two rca’s to the AV jack and use the tv as an reasonably good speaker

        Flat Panel TV were always meant to use with a sound system. It is only meant to display video. The belief has always been they are for higher end viewing. And it’s impossible to get good sound out of a audio in a chassis that thin, that is why sound bars exist. Ask anyone who knows home theaters and they will tell you more than 50% of the experience is the audio. You’re better off spending money on a good audio system and even going with a smaller screen if dealing with budget constraints for the best experience. They make them as thin as possible because people want that.

          Yeah the speakers they come with are totally just for like pretend. They aren’t real or anything

        Yeah they rely on the sound bouncing back from the wall which is why some TVs have the speakers on the back
