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??

      Damn what shitty place doesn’t let you mount stuff to the wall?

          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.

      Pretty much every landlord in the world will let you hang things on the wall, so long as it’s not unreasonably destructive. They’re pretty much planning on doing a little spackle and painting the place when any tenant moves out anyway.

      A tv mount usually only requires 4-6 screw holes, which wouldn’t be hard to fix later on.

        Especially in earthquake prone places like the West Coast (USA) or even like India. Even furniture should be mounted to the wall in a lot of places. If it’s a health and safety issue (like flat panel tvs would be), then they absolutely will not risk going to court over it and being liable for injuries. I don’t get this argument.

      There are monitor arms that can be attached to a desk/table, maybe they can be adapted, or maybe there is a mount that can be mounted like this

        You can get proper central tv stands that use the VESA mounts. They’re great, keep the TV super stable and allows a little bit of swivel if needed too
