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??

      What do you do if you want to hang a picture frame? Glue it on?

        They recently passed a law which said you could install picture hooks “within reason” without being penalised by your landlord. Prior to that if you installed a picture hook you’d likely be charged for the cost of re-plastering the wall when you left. Although they wouldn’t actually re-plaster it, they’d just charge you as if they had and then the next renter would have a picture hook so lucky them.

        But major mods like installing a TV mount are totally out unless you can negotiate it with the landlord somehow. If you did it without permission it’s grounds for eviction and a loss of your bond.
