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??

    Have my tv mounted on a VESA monitor arm.

    The sloped design made it a bit hard to attach the plate but it worked well enough.

        In my experience, you get spacers to make the VESA mount flat.

          Who the fuck let a designer get close to the back of that thing. Only ever allow designers to view the front of anything, the back is for business.

            Samsung was the culprit.
            Was fun searching for compatible M screws as a newbie at the hardware store.

            Since it’s an older model (around 2016) it was probably a trick to get a thinner look with the hardware.

          Interesting and slightly worrying design by the manufacturer, tbh.

          I have a TV with a sloped backside, but the VESA part had a removable panel that was replaced with a non-curved one before putting in the screws.
