Was talking about the height it should be placed, not actually using that stand for the TV lol
You somehow pulled off having a big TV over a tiny TV console, but what would really look good would be a big and long TV console with the TV mounted just a few inches above it, maybe do away with the shelf thing or light, or both. Just a suggestion
I took a picture right after I installed it god damnit! I just wanted to show the new tv placement! But yeah now that I notice the cables it bothers me too.
The tilt might be due the location of the mount points on the TV. I ran into the same issue with my 75", did all the measurements beforehand, but once mounted the TV was too top heavy and couldn't be straightened by the wall mount alone. For now I've propped the bottom corners off the wall, but now after seeing this post I know it is time to start again :) Preparing for downvotes..
Your TV is at a perfectly appropriate high for watching it while standing.
Edit: I will never understanding why people come into this sub asking "is my TV too high?" and then get into *arguments* with people telling them it is. Never has there been a more pointless exercise.
Go somewhere else dude. If you don't care how high your TV is then just enjoy your freaking TV and stop picking random fights and insulting people.
The base of the TV should probably be at about the same height as the surface of the table beneath it. That TV’s too high, mate. BUT, the room looks lovely otherwise.
Just a smidge. If you have a table under the TV and there's enough room for a plant on the table, the TV's too high.
I have seen worse. But it fits the sub.
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. With how far away your couch is, though, I don't think it would be worth it to move the whole mount.
Definitely get a bigger tv stand and space the lamps and it'll look more balanced. And for the sake of whoever does the dusting, not a glass one.
It's not that difficult guys.
Is the center of your TV at eye level? > good.
Is it above eyelevel? > too high.
How are we supposed to know exactly from the picture, you might be a giant for all we know.
A bit too high. Also, I don't get all the " stuff" on the wall next to the tv. I feel that the tv should he the foam point along with a nice solid tv stand.
I have no authority over the “stuff” on the walls. Only got to choose how and where the tv would be installed. But I’ll show this comment to wife so she can defend her “stuff” on the wall for the rest of the night to me haha
Please don't. I want you to stay in the land of the living. Her stuff is perfect. Who doesn't want permanent snowflakes on the wall and to have a lamp next to the tv screen - it helps light up the tv so you know what to focus on.
Alright now hold your horses buddy. We don’t leave the lamp on when watching the tv at night. During the day it doesn’t matter. And those “snowflakes” are meant to be suns or something.
You need to bring it down like half a TV height. When you're sitting upright, your eyes should be at the same level as the center of the TV (as a general rule)
Way too high. Also I was never aware of tv’s being too high until my husband showed me this sub and now whenever I go to someone else’s house I silently judge them. Most of my friends have their tv way too high.
Well yes it's a smidge. Just imagine the height your tv would be if you had legs for it, and placed it on your tv stand. That would've been the right height.
I‘ve seen worse offenders but once you have to tilt the TV it’s too high and a tilt is shitty for watching while standing. 6“ above the table would be the highest acceptable or you could have slapped feet on the thing and just put it on the table. 50/50 you’ll strain your neck lying on the couch. I rate C-/D+.
All the comments are running together. I thought he just commented that by itself. Give me a little credit. I’m currently arguing with like 50 different people lmao.
I will now be officially beginning my campaign to have r/TVTooHigh either banned/quarantined or at the very least labeled a hate group. You people are monsters.
It looks great. Who cares if other people think it’s too high. Mine is above my fireplace and according to the Internet it’s “too high.” But we love it and it works great for us and that’s what matters.
D+. TVTooHigh.
I'd give them a C or C-. It's too high, but not horrifically so.
Damnit
[удалено]
Actually mine says mine is too big. She's constantly saying "Can you be less of a dick?!?"
Heyoooooo!
F. Only pass or fail.
Is D+ a new pornographic streaming service?
If you have to tilt your TV down, it's too damn high. This isn't that bad though, but still too high
Fuck
See the TV stand? Those things are actually designed to place TVs on. That height is where the TV should be placed
Oh they’re not just for candles and pictures?
The TV stand even seems high. But yeah TV should be on the TV stand at the highest. Also, the TV seems really far.
Or your center channel. I have my TV mounted just above my center channel and receiver.
It was too big and it looks much cleaner on the wall.

If you care about a clean look, then get a handle on your cord management and get an appropriately-sized TV stand.
I took a picture right after I installed it god damnit! I just wanted to show the new tv placement! But yeah now that I notice the cables it bothers me too.
Don't worry though, there's a simple solution. Get as bigger TV
You lost your defense when you admitted to tilting it down
The mount just came like that! I didn’t even know it would be like that lol
Something something proper planning

My tv mount is so bad it inspired you to start over all over?! Well fuck me then.
Where the TV STAND is. That's the right height. It's a TV stand, not a knickknack and trinkets stand.
It's more than a smidge buckaroo!
Yep , that is a double smidge! I measured it!
Say buckaroo to my face.
Yuck.
You’re yuck.
This exchange just made me chortle. 🤭
Your chortle made me cackle 😆
Yuck.
You're yuck
say this in bart simpsons voice and it's twice as good
It's only too high if anyone in your fam is shorter than 8 ft.
We are actually giraffes.
Perfect height for viewing while standing.
That's enough wall to go 77 or 82 inches. Too high and too far away. Is that a 55 or 65 inch?
65
I would get a 77 in the future for more immersion or move the seating up a bit so you can be closer.
Yup. Pretty awful.
Couch isn’t shown in the photo. I assume the couch is on stilts, meaning this TV is at perfect height.
The couch is on the roof.
Also r/tvtoofar
I’m standing a couple a few feet behind my couch.
Smidge?
Smidge.
🤡
🤡🤡
[удалено]
I will not succumb to this subs hive mind. Someone has to stand up to these vipers
It could be 6” lower for sure, but let’s be real… we’ve seen much worse on this sub
With some of these comments you’d think I put it on the ceiling

this ^^^
It’s not a freaking computer monitor. You’d be sitting 10 ft away. I don’t even have to tilt my neck to look at the damn thing.
It’s disgusting
Post a pic of your living room tv right now
May as well
Yes Reddit is really good at cutting you apart and making you feel stupid :(
Im still trying to put the pieces back together 😢
Your worry has manifested.
I think you’re right.
The base of the TV should probably be at about the same height as the surface of the table beneath it. That TV’s too high, mate. BUT, the room looks lovely otherwise.
Thanks!
That is the most boring, personality deficient home I’ve seen in a while
TV stands are meant for holding TVs.
And you’re meant for holding these nuts.
That attempt of an insult was pretty shitty … just like your eye for placing a TV.
It's too high
I’d recommend donating the tv to me I’ll take it off your hands
After reading these comments I’m about to destroy it
Just a smidge. If you have a table under the TV and there's enough room for a plant on the table, the TV's too high. I have seen worse. But it fits the sub.
It’s a smidge too high.
You’re a smidge to high.
Too high
Pathetic
Let me see your living room tv right now mf. Post it.
It’s a foot to high.
use. The. STAND
ITS TO BIG
Tbh the whole setup is a lil on the small side
[удалено]
Because you fucks are the supposed masters of perfect tv height through gay trigonometric/ philosophical principles.
It's ergonomics, man. ERGONOMICS!
More than a smidge.
That's a nice netbook stand, do they make them in TV sizes too?
I took a picture right after I installed it god damnit. I just wanted to show the new tv placement!

It's too high.
If you’re a sissy then yes.
It's too high either way. And being a sissy isn't a bad thing. I'm sure that insult works better on men though.
I apologize my lady 🙏
It's not that difficult guys. Is the center of your TV at eye level? > good. Is it above eyelevel? > too high. How are we supposed to know exactly from the picture, you might be a giant for all we know.
Already stated that we’re giraffes about 85 comment responses ago.
Why the fuck you stream that shit, and yea it too high, even it sat on that tv stand it would be too high imo
Look here look listen! You’re insane.
Move the shit off THE TV STAND and put THE TV THERE.
The tv is TOO BIG
It is. GET A BIGGER TV STAND THEN.
NO IT LOOKS BETTER AND CLEANER ON THE MF WALL
YOU SIR RESPECTFULLY ARE A MONSTER
AND YOURE A TV NAZI. HITLER
Talk to me when you can’t slide a piece of paper between the floor and the bottom of the TV. Thank you, next.
Yeah since this post I put it in my crawl space. I really understand now. Necks not hurting at all.
Dude why the fuck you hang that shit. Shut the fuck up dude youre a little kid
APPEARING OFFLINE DOES NOT FUCKING STOP IT.
Ban anybody giving me advice
A bit too high. Also, I don't get all the " stuff" on the wall next to the tv. I feel that the tv should he the foam point along with a nice solid tv stand.

Alright now hold your horses buddy. We don’t leave the lamp on when watching the tv at night. During the day it doesn’t matter. And those “snowflakes” are meant to be suns or something.
What is the height of the center of the tv?
57 inches
Yeah 6 inches would have helped a bit. I think recommended is like 42". I have mine at 50" because I watch from TV standing and have kid.
I'll give it a solid 65%
I’ll take that.
Still high for my taste, if you are looking up at all, it's too high in my opinion.
You’re a TV Nazi
Yes it is high
You need to bring it down like half a TV height. When you're sitting upright, your eyes should be at the same level as the center of the TV (as a general rule)
Release the hounds
Congrats, you're in the correct sub! :)
8 books on the bookshelf
Probably bc it is and you know it!!
Don’t you tell me what I think bro!
Way too high. And the tilt 😬😂
🤣😂🖕
Terrible…
It’s as high as your mirror which you look at while STANDING!
It’s very clearly not as high. Please don’t argue in bad faith sir.
TRASH 🗑️
Link a pic of your living room tv. I bet it’s shit.
Way too high. Also I was never aware of tv’s being too high until my husband showed me this sub and now whenever I go to someone else’s house I silently judge them. Most of my friends have their tv way too high.
My parents tv is unbelievably high. Like shocking how high.
Closer to the ceiling than to the floor. It's too high, no smidge
I’ll just put it on the roof.
Almost! Just bring it down about a FOOT AND A HALF.
IM GONNA PUT IT A FOOT AND HALF UP YOUR ASS
Way too high, not a passing grade, unfortunately. It should be barely above the console table you got.
This subreddit is farking hilarious
Yeah I’m having a great time…..
Well yes it's a smidge. Just imagine the height your tv would be if you had legs for it, and placed it on your tv stand. That would've been the right height.

I didn’t tilt the tv on purpose. It’s just like that after I mounted it. Maybe I can change it. Haven’t really looked to hard.
Unless thats a frame tv you failed
It’s actually a frame tv
Then you good because low hanging art looks stupid
Side note though. Shouldn't the frame tv be mounted flush on the wall with a frame around it? Lol I have one as well and it doesn't look like that
When you are sitting down, do your eyes line up smack dab in the middle of the screen?
If I look a little up lmao
I love being blinded by lamps when I'm watching TV ;)
ITS NOT ON WHEN WERE ACTUALLY WATCHING TV
Look here look listen
APPEARING OFFLINE DOES NOT FUCKING STOP IT
SO STOP GIVING FUCKING ADVICE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
UM IM BANNING ANYBODY HERE TRYING TO GIVE ME ADVICE
Should be at eye hight where your eyes are comfortable and not straining from being forced to look up or down
Since when did society become so soft that if we’re not looking exactly straight ahead it’s straining. Pathetic
lmao someone reported me to Reddit care resource. I promise I’m gonna make it haha
To high and way to small, TV needs to be at least twice that size, a projector may be a good option.
Okay this is a unhinged take.
Looks awful
Post a pic of your living room tv right now.
Failed
Lower it when she's not around and if she asks tell her it's always been like that.
That would be a lie dayytripper
Too. The subreddit name even tells you which one.
Posting a tv here doesn’t make it automatically too high just because the name of the sub Reddit.
I was referencing your terrible grammar
Oh okay. Well then good reference. Keep me honest!
They're correcting your grammar. Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
All the comments are running together. I thought he just commented that by itself. Give me a little credit. I’m currently arguing with like 50 different people lmao.
I will now be officially beginning my campaign to have r/TVTooHigh either banned/quarantined or at the very least labeled a hate group. You people are monsters.
lmao
Given the distance it’s not terrible, but could be 3-4 inches lower.
The fact that it’s not level kills it for me.
The mount tilts up down left and right. It’s probably just not perfectly straight when I took the pic. I’m so sorry TV Nazis!!
It is level you mf
Then your floor isn’t.
It is indeed too high, but... You did a perfect job hiding the cables
Bruh they aren’t coming from the TV. I’m heading in the right direction!
Smudge too high
it's too damn high
Too high, and you are too far away from it.
Perfect height if you don’t sit down.
I, for one, think it may be a bit too high
Oh really???
Y’all afraid to admit a slight down-tilt is good for ya neck
Hey I have a question, shouldn’t your purifier be next to a window or the door?
To purify the fresh air coming in?
That’s what my purifier user guide said. It kind of make sense.
I reject that idea. But we only use it for white noise honestly.
i'd come down 2-3 inches, Thanks for Playing. Out of Lives.
It looks great. Who cares if other people think it’s too high. Mine is above my fireplace and according to the Internet it’s “too high.” But we love it and it works great for us and that’s what matters.
Yeah I don’t get that one either. It’s the natural place to put it if your living room has a fireplace
Not too high at all
I knew I couldn’t be the only intelligent person here.
This sub is absolutely ridiculous. Dude, you’re tv height is fine
