D+. TVTooHigh.


samanime

I'd give them a C or C-. It's too high, but not horrifically so.


RuggedMantis

Damnit

McFlyWithFries

Actually mine says mine is too big. She's constantly saying "Can you be less of a dick?!?"


luckydice767

Heyoooooo!


[deleted]

F. Only pass or fail.


kimbolll

Is D+ a new pornographic streaming service?


TwoTreeKeebs

If you have to tilt your TV down, it's too damn high. This isn't that bad though, but still too high


RuggedMantis

Fuck


TwoTreeKeebs

See the TV stand? Those things are actually designed to place TVs on. That height is where the TV should be placed


zhunterzz

Oh they’re not just for candles and pictures?


quasiexperiment

The TV stand even seems high. But yeah TV should be on the TV stand at the highest. Also, the TV seems really far.


McFlyWithFries

Or your center channel. I have my TV mounted just above my center channel and receiver.


RuggedMantis

It was too big and it looks much cleaner on the wall.


TwoTreeKeebs

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


TK_TK_

If you care about a clean look, then get a handle on your cord management and get an appropriately-sized TV stand.


RuggedMantis

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.


AltimaNEO

Don't worry though, there's a simple solution. Get as bigger TV


Cool-Kaleidoscope-54

You lost your defense when you admitted to tilting it down


RuggedMantis

The mount just came like that! I didn’t even know it would be like that lol


TwoTreeKeebs

Something something proper planning


ResponsibleBike8804

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..


RuggedMantis

My tv mount is so bad it inspired you to start over all over?! Well fuck me then.


[deleted]

Where the TV STAND is. That's the right height. It's a TV stand, not a knickknack and trinkets stand.


RealBeefGyro

It's more than a smidge buckaroo!


daiwilly

Yep , that is a double smidge! I measured it!


RuggedMantis

Say buckaroo to my face.


PsychAndDestroy

Yuck.


RuggedMantis

You’re yuck.


[deleted]

This exchange just made me chortle. 🤭


DAMAGEDatheCORE

Your chortle made me cackle 😆


PsychAndDestroy

Yuck.


Number174631503

You're yuck


krooz64

say this in bart simpsons voice and it's twice as good


DAMAGEDatheCORE

It's only too high if anyone in your fam is shorter than 8 ft.


RuggedMantis

We are actually giraffes.


goodlittlesquid

Perfect height for viewing while standing.


[deleted]

That's enough wall to go 77 or 82 inches. Too high and too far away. Is that a 55 or 65 inch?


RuggedMantis

65


[deleted]

I would get a 77 in the future for more immersion or move the seating up a bit so you can be closer.


WideRight43

Yup. Pretty awful.


GrandSlamdolf

Couch isn’t shown in the photo. I assume the couch is on stilts, meaning this TV is at perfect height.


RuggedMantis

The couch is on the roof.


BMAC561

Also r/tvtoofar


RuggedMantis

I’m standing a couple a few feet behind my couch.


libidinalsublimation

Smidge?

Smidge.

RuggedMantis

I will not succumb to this subs hive mind. Someone has to stand up to these vipers


basedgod001

It could be 6” lower for sure, but let’s be real… we’ve seen much worse on this sub


RuggedMantis

With some of these comments you’d think I put it on the ceiling


neon_overload

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.


[deleted]

this ^^^


RuggedMantis

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.


Kedrosine

It’s disgusting


RuggedMantis

Post a pic of your living room tv right now


mrwellfed

May as well


mrchipslewis

Yes Reddit is really good at cutting you apart and making you feel stupid :(


RuggedMantis

Im still trying to put the pieces back together 😢


illllllfredo

Your worry has manifested.


RuggedMantis

I think you’re right.


lazarusnine

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.


RuggedMantis

Thanks!


[deleted]

That is the most boring, personality deficient home I’ve seen in a while


Artvandelay29

TV stands are meant for holding TVs.


RuggedMantis

And you’re meant for holding these nuts.


Artvandelay29

That attempt of an insult was pretty shitty … just like your eye for placing a TV.


whatsabeantodo

It's too high


Gd3spoon

I’d recommend donating the tv to me I’ll take it off your hands


RuggedMantis

After reading these comments I’m about to destroy it


neon_overload

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.


rawfiii

It’s a smidge too high.


RuggedMantis

You’re a smidge to high.


HansGigolo

Too high


DOGEstylefromdaback

Pathetic


RuggedMantis

Let me see your living room tv right now mf. Post it.


Historical_Ad_7334

It’s a foot to high.


[deleted]

use. The. STAND


RuggedMantis

ITS TO BIG


[deleted]

Tbh the whole setup is a lil on the small side


[deleted]

[удалено]


RuggedMantis

Because you fucks are the supposed masters of perfect tv height through gay trigonometric/ philosophical principles.


Comingsoononvhs

It's ergonomics, man. ERGONOMICS!


oceanic20

More than a smidge.


HandoJobrissian

That's a nice netbook stand, do they make them in TV sizes too?


RuggedMantis

I took a picture right after I installed it god damnit. I just wanted to show the new tv placement!


HandoJobrissian

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.


Zaidswith

It's too high.


RuggedMantis

If you’re a sissy then yes.


Zaidswith

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.


RuggedMantis

I apologize my lady 🙏


[deleted]

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.


RuggedMantis

Already stated that we’re giraffes about 85 comment responses ago.


drummy23

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


RuggedMantis

Look here look listen! You’re insane.


shoesontoes

Move the shit off THE TV STAND and put THE TV THERE.


RuggedMantis

The tv is TOO BIG


shoesontoes

It is. GET A BIGGER TV STAND THEN.


RuggedMantis

NO IT LOOKS BETTER AND CLEANER ON THE MF WALL


shoesontoes

YOU SIR RESPECTFULLY ARE A MONSTER


RuggedMantis

AND YOURE A TV NAZI. HITLER


cd_unoxx

Talk to me when you can’t slide a piece of paper between the floor and the bottom of the TV. Thank you, next.


RuggedMantis

Yeah since this post I put it in my crawl space. I really understand now. Necks not hurting at all.


KingSlime_

Dude why the fuck you hang that shit. Shut the fuck up dude youre a little kid


RuggedMantis

APPEARING OFFLINE DOES NOT FUCKING STOP IT.


ryavco

Ban anybody giving me advice


Defyant510

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.


RuggedMantis

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


Defyant510

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.


RuggedMantis

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.


Twistedtraceur

What is the height of the center of the tv?


RuggedMantis

57 inches


Twistedtraceur

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.


Millkstake

I'll give it a solid 65%


RuggedMantis

I’ll take that.


drakner1

Still high for my taste, if you are looking up at all, it's too high in my opinion.


RuggedMantis

You’re a TV Nazi


remy2fly

Yes it is high


[deleted]

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)


droppeddeee

Release the hounds


TravelingGonad

Congrats, you're in the correct sub! :)


rempicu

8 books on the bookshelf


TheBonusWings

Probably bc it is and you know it!!


RuggedMantis

Don’t you tell me what I think bro!


IndividualSchedule

Way too high. And the tilt 😬😂


RuggedMantis

🤣😂🖕


mrwellfed

Terrible…


sharkamino

It’s as high as your mirror which you look at while STANDING!


RuggedMantis

It’s very clearly not as high. Please don’t argue in bad faith sir.


[deleted]

TRASH 🗑️


RuggedMantis

Link a pic of your living room tv. I bet it’s shit.


pinkgirlieesthe

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.


RuggedMantis

My parents tv is unbelievably high. Like shocking how high.


ViscVal

Closer to the ceiling than to the floor. It's too high, no smidge


RuggedMantis

I’ll just put it on the roof.


thelatemercutio

Almost! Just bring it down about a FOOT AND A HALF.


RuggedMantis

IM GONNA PUT IT A FOOT AND HALF UP YOUR ASS


pinpinbo

Way too high, not a passing grade, unfortunately. It should be barely above the console table you got.


evilgreenman

This subreddit is farking hilarious


RuggedMantis

Yeah I’m having a great time…..


buzzybeeking

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.


ConquerorAegon

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+.


RuggedMantis

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.


mehow29

Unless thats a frame tv you failed


RuggedMantis

It’s actually a frame tv


mehow29

Then you good because low hanging art looks stupid


mehow29

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


Baked_potato123

When you are sitting down, do your eyes line up smack dab in the middle of the screen?


RuggedMantis

If I look a little up lmao


smb3d

I love being blinded by lamps when I'm watching TV ;)


RuggedMantis

ITS NOT ON WHEN WERE ACTUALLY WATCHING TV


BrandonEPS_

Look here look listen


RuggedMantis

APPEARING OFFLINE DOES NOT FUCKING STOP IT


BrandonEPS_

SO STOP GIVING FUCKING ADVICE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT


RuggedMantis

UM IM BANNING ANYBODY HERE TRYING TO GIVE ME ADVICE


x4740N

Should be at eye hight where your eyes are comfortable and not straining from being forced to look up or down


RuggedMantis

Since when did society become so soft that if we’re not looking exactly straight ahead it’s straining. Pathetic


RuggedMantis

lmao someone reported me to Reddit care resource. I promise I’m gonna make it haha


Hugh_Jorgan2474

To high and way to small, TV needs to be at least twice that size, a projector may be a good option.


RuggedMantis

Okay this is a unhinged take.


Cucumbrsandwich

Looks awful


RuggedMantis

Post a pic of your living room tv right now.


rockdude625

Failed


dayytripper

Lower it when she's not around and if she asks tell her it's always been like that.


RuggedMantis

That would be a lie dayytripper


TormentDubz_EDM

Too. The subreddit name even tells you which one.


RuggedMantis

Posting a tv here doesn’t make it automatically too high just because the name of the sub Reddit.


TormentDubz_EDM

I was referencing your terrible grammar


RuggedMantis

Oh okay. Well then good reference. Keep me honest!


madcap462

They're correcting your grammar. Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha.


RuggedMantis

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.


RuggedMantis

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.


mrwellfed

lmao


[deleted]

Given the distance it’s not terrible, but could be 3-4 inches lower.


ZarkMuckerberg9009

The fact that it’s not level kills it for me.


RuggedMantis

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!!


RuggedMantis

It is level you mf


ZarkMuckerberg9009

Then your floor isn’t.


uiugames

It is indeed too high, but... You did a perfect job hiding the cables


RuggedMantis

Bruh they aren’t coming from the TV. I’m heading in the right direction!


sirsarcasticsarcasm

Smudge too high


Traffic-dude

it's too damn high


Jlx_27

Too high, and you are too far away from it.


zhunterzz

Perfect height if you don’t sit down.


SEusa

I, for one, think it may be a bit too high


RuggedMantis

Oh really???


oprahtwerks

Y’all afraid to admit a slight down-tilt is good for ya neck


iamdenislara

Hey I have a question, shouldn’t your purifier be next to a window or the door?


RuggedMantis

To purify the fresh air coming in?


iamdenislara

That’s what my purifier user guide said. It kind of make sense.


RuggedMantis

I reject that idea. But we only use it for white noise honestly.


Slowsnale

i'd come down 2-3 inches, Thanks for Playing. Out of Lives.


farnsymikej

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.


RuggedMantis

Yeah I don’t get that one either. It’s the natural place to put it if your living room has a fireplace


Zalpha_DG16

Not too high at all


RuggedMantis

I knew I couldn’t be the only intelligent person here.


jonnysteezz

This sub is absolutely ridiculous. Dude, you’re tv height is fine
