DaDude Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Here are a couple more pictures. This will show that my camera can be deceiving and make the lean worse than it should. Notice the lean is worse on one picture but not on another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted March 2, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 2, 2009 One-tenth of an inch? You'd have to be pretty close to your TV to notice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaDude Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 One-tenth of an inch? You'd have to be pretty close to your TV to notice that. That was just an approximation. Based on my tape measure, it's exactly one-eighth of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Veteran Posted March 2, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 2, 2009 Use a level, not a tape measure. The room/table/floor may not be level. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaDude Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 The room/table/floor may not be level. :) If that is so, then the table would be tilted along with the TV and the tape measure wouldn't show any unevenness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaDude Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I think the only sure way of fixing this problem is to wall mount the TV, but I don't want to do that because if I want to move the TV later on to a different spot or room, then I'll have to fix the wall and everything. So, I'll just deal with the leaning TV. I'm sure many people here don't have a 100% leveled TV and they're not complaining about it. I guess I'm too anal sometimes.

DaDude Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) My samsung 226BW isn't level :(. I had to wedge some pieces of paper under it to level it. I laughed when I first read that thinking it was silly, but I tried it and it worked. As silly as it may sound, it's an easy solution. However, I think my stand started to lean to the left now. So I think it was better before the way it was, so I removed the paper. I think some people here may have hit the nail on the head when they said that my table might not be leveled.

Samsung is the #1 seller of TVs on Amazon so because you read a few reviews saying theres were leaning you jumped on the bandwagon... the other 500+ 5 star ratings dont mention any such thing... just to humor you... I used a level on my ln52a650 and there were no leans to the left or right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a level on my ln52a650 and there were no leans to the left or right... 2 reasons why people highly rate these Samsung TVs: 1- Uneven stands does not ruin the picture quality whatsoever. Also, don?t forget. Majority of people wall-mount their LCDs. 2- Many people may not notice it. Like I said, I had no idea my stand was uneven until I read that a couple of people had the problem. After looking closely, I don?t think there?s anything wrong with my stand. Like I said, I think it looks slanted on my picture because of the way I held the camera and my table might not be leveled.

+StevoFC MVC Posted March 6, 2009 MVC Share Posted March 6, 2009 Also, don?t forget. Majority of people wall-mount their LCDs. I don't think that's true at all...I highly doubt it's the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudnartim Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 IF its leaning to the right you can always have someone hold down on the stand and try to lvl the tv out with some brute force, just dont over due it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Gil Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I don't think that's true at all...I highly doubt it's the majority. I'd say a very small percentage wall-mounts their TV's... xraffle just watched too many "Cribs" episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiefloyd_fan Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 if you are really bugged about it get a vesa wall mount... i couldnt see a thing wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaDude Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ok, I was chatting with other members on the AVS forum and everyone there who owns my Samsung model (Series 450) has the same problem. And they?re all exactly one-eighth of an inch like mine. Now, I?m not saying all Samsung models are like this, but this definitely a problem on their 450 series.

I DID do my homework before making "crazy claims." Read this WHOLE thread. With the exception of Jesda, At least three people claimed their TV was leaning and they're all Samsung TVs. Nobody here said their Sony TV was leaning. And yes, most people do wall-mount their TVs. Ever been to a bar? And also, all of my friends and co-workers wall-mount their TVs. I'm the only that doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaDude Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 sounds like someone needs to stay off of the avsforum You people are misunderstanding me completely. First, I never said Samsung TVs were terrible. They're great. Second, the stand for the LN32A450 ONLY has a slight tilt on it and according to other posters there, I'm not the only one with this problem. FYI, the people at AVS forum have more knowledge on this than people here, no offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt even know you went there, it was just a joke because thats the kind of thing the people over there would probably complain about.

Well it's not like the threads were swarming with complaints like it's the end of the world. They were just wondering, like me, if everyone else' stand had the same problem.
