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??

For me I hate the giant holes in my wall. Taking the mount down is a pain. Once it's up you can't move the TV anywhere else. Also, I hate tilting my head up just to see the TV.

Edit. Apparently not hanging a TV is a criminal offense around here.

if you're making giant holes in your wall, you're mounting wrong.

most wall mounts are going to be two or three bolt holes into a stud. they should be about as big around as a sharpie. if you remove the mount, a small dab of spackle covers them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Are you not passing cables through the wall when you wall mount?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I make big ass holes, but I use toggle bolts for anything heavy that doesn't line up with the studs, and those need a 1/2" hole.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Never rely on toggle bolts to hand a tv, find the studs and use lag bolts

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

The toggle bolts I use are rated for 60lb per bolt. The TV isn't going anywhere.

How often do you move your TV off its shelf?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tend to rearrange my livingroom more than once a lifetime.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you plan on painting ever? That would be the perfect time to fill the holes and paint over them..

It is. My walls aren't drywall.
Strange how upset you and a couple other people get about someone else's living room and TV though.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see anyone being upset over it, actually just several people trying to help you. Have a great day, weirdo!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't need help with anything lol.
You too champ!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you realize you're allowed to hang your tv at any height you desire? The police won't arrest you if you just put your tv at eye level.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The police won’t arrest you if you just put your tv at eye level.

Frankly, the crime should be if you put it at anything but eye level.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you realize I simply do not want my TV hanging on a wall?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. Your reason is just dumb.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm glad you care so much about my living room lol

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe not post on the internet about issues you have if you're not interested in people giving you advice. It's clear you have a lot more issues in addition to not knowing how to hang a TV. Good luck in life.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

What issue did I post about?
You have no idea what you're even talking about lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I think they might have mixed you up with OP
