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??

    Noticed this trend like a decade ago with LG. They used to have a stand in the middle which was much better design wise.

          LG C1, C2, C3, they’re models, their G series also has a center stand. What people don’t understand is that center stands need to be very heavy, they have a separate chunk of steel that’s added to the base so the TV is stable, that makes them much more expensive than four plastic legs placed at the extremities. So the people that complain about the legs are also the same people that would look at the 100$ price difference and just not buy the model with the center stand.

            The G series do not include any stand. They are only intended to be wall mounted. You can buy a center stand that is identical to the C series if you want to though.

              Really? Interesting, I saw the pictures on LG’s website without a stand and I figured it was only for style since review sites had the C series style stand!

      exactly, thank you. i love everyone blaming me for not reading the box – i knew it would be this obnoxious, i was hoping the table was slightly wider.

      but most importantly, it is OBJECTIVELY awful design! i don’t care if it’s cheaper for them! i don’t understand why everyone has some dumb snarky comment when 10+ years ago every flatscreen had a center mount and everything was fine!
