What I wouldn’t give to see a picture or video of that flat screen displaying the scene from Mission Impossible when Ethan Hunt is hovering above the pressure-sensitive floor in the CIA headquarters vault room!
And that day they went home thinking they had conceived the future of flat panel displays.
it will end in tears when it slips out of the loops…
It’s a Sceptre. Noone will care if it slips out of the loops.
Srsly. O_O
No, then you just take it outside and make a swing out of it.
Now if only these guys could kludge a spirit level…
“The bubble’s at the top of the snow globe! We’re good!”
…Wow… Um… How unsafe. That’s a good way to throw away a lot of money.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy a stand rather than a new TV once this one breaks?
and this will be on failblog next week
I don’t know what’s more disturbing: suspending a flat panel with knotted cord, or the knowing that the knotted cord appears to be CAT-5 cabling.
Did a double take after I read that comment…..
So? I used that stuff as a clothesline when I didn’t have enough money to pay for the dryers in the dorm.
Sorry, but that’s modular telephone cable. Not network cable.
I can tell from years of looking at such things.
And besides, how can you tell what category it is just by looking at it? There’s more than one category of network cable, you know (there’s 10 in all, although 5 of those are currently obsolete.)
We now return you to your regularly scheduled LOL, already in progress.
upscale yuppie/redneck kludge; “hey, hold my mineral water and watch this”.
The mice, in the attic, decided they needed a flat screen, for their sports bar. While a crack commando group of them got the remote. Another group gathered phone cable from the innards of the wall tied it off, into loops, and lowered it around the T.V. pulling it up through a secret hatch. The human thought it was just robbers. ( or it’s just someone being stupid and not a crazy idea.)
No stand or wall mount. Check
attached by loops of telephone or rj45. Check
kid with wii mote. Optional.
big ass mess when it falls to the floor? Priceless.
Flat screen bondage!
Yes, this is TV for the swinging bachelor.
Ahoy, Ahoy.
Sir LCD Flatscreen, you have been fond guilty of your crimes against the Crown. It has been decided that you shall be hang at noon, in the middle of the office. Do you have any last words?
What’s even worse ….. they hung it off the ceiling fan.
Rotating LCD FTW!
this reminds me of metalocalypse a little, where all of their huge flatscreens are hung from hooks thru the screen
Don’t sneeze… don’t sneeze… don’t sneeze….
That rope, that round corner… ohhh god!
The fine art of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. There have been few graduates of this art, and I doubt the LCD screen here will do any better…
So long as it doesn’t think about the fact that it’s flying, it should be alright.
No no no no no NO!
What a way to misinterpret the phrase: “This tv comes with two cat5-cables for network access…”
The fool! Everyone knows that you need CAT-6 to handle that kind of load!
this will end poorly
If they want a 3D effect, all they need to do is start swinging it during a movie and it will be like the image is coming right at you.
No no no NO!
When you prep the screen for the drop test it MUST be level, first. This one is hanging askew.
It’s hanging a skew? What’s a skew? And why is it being hanged? Did it attack someone? With a name like “skew’ i bet it has big vicious teeth and sharp claws.
Of course it’s a kludge judging by the cables, but my flatscreen actually came with the possibility to get hung up from cables from either the ceiling and/or wall. It’s even described in the manual how to do so.
Not such a mássive kludge afterall
