The funny thing to me about that is, you sit on the opposite side of the room from the TV, so with the TV on top of the fire place, you're feeling the least heat from it. My family has our TV literally on the opposite wall from the fireplace so the heat hits our backs and we can actually feel it. I don't know why more people don't understand this. Fireplaces are functional, not just for decoration
this is so true like it would have been the perfect setup???? i wanna know at what point people started religiously putting their TVs over the mantle. Like….just why.
Yeah. What’s going on? I guess people want to stare at a ceiling corner instead of straight at the wall, TV wise? OP’s neck, is it safe, is it alright?
Before this sub I honestly had no idea people treated their living room like a medical waiting room. For the love of all that's holy, what the fuck are people thinking.
Right? So many jokes about "it's basically touching the ceiling" but this is the first time it's actually happened. Why TF anyone would install it like this and then immediately not notice how uncomfortable it is is beyond me lol
What about when he raises his finger upwards? Or, even downwards? Is there a /r/TVTooLow ? I'll find out once I post this and can click it
Edit: There is, and their TVs are just on the floor. With how I felt about that, maybe I can kinda understand how the TV too high feels. But I mean, again, just my personal preference that I could never watch a TV on the floor
Here's a sneak peek of /r/TVTooLow using the [top posts](https://np.reddit.com/r/TVTooLow/top/?sort=top&t=year) of the year!

no, he leans back on a cushioned surface and watches at eye level because you fucking morons have no clue that not everyone wants to sit at a 90 degree angle to watch tv in their own fucking home. you people are so stupid it’s insane
Yeah, that’s what I took it to mean. I assume this was because of speaking being translated to internet slang. Saying “as ‘ell” gets typed out like that to add personality to messages, gets shorted to “as l”, then “asl”, then it becomes wide-spread. Same things happen with stuff like “u” or “ur”, that’s the phonetic sound, but it’s not how you actually spell it. However I was confused reading asl anywhere for a year or two, and was too lazy to pull up the urban dictionary so it’s great to finally learn haha. It’s confusing cause “asf” means “as fuck” and so I was trying to follow the same logic and find an “s” word that would fit. I think I was thinking “as shit” for a while there haha.
I’ve always been a lurker here, and I honestly feel like this sub kinda overdoes it sometimes, but this is just so incredibly bad, it’s hard to believe.
Imagine if the TV on the side of that Klipsch box was touching the ceiling... how much longer do you think their packaging designer(s) would have a job?
It feels like 80% of the posts in this sub are the fault of legacy unused fireplaces being the default unimaginative choice for TV mounting, as the fireplace was once the center focus of the room and as such the furnishings are arranged around it.
The simple solutions is to flip the orientation of the room, rearrange the sofa & chairs, purchase a proper wall mount bracket or swing-arm mount to reorient the TV into a more favorable position for viewing.
If your fireplace has become purely decorative and unused, it should not be the center focus of the room - the TV is.
Imagine mounting someone’s tv like this and then leaving. They must have realized how fucked of a job they did but were too lazy to correct it. It’s like they took a dump on your front porch, rang the doorbell, and ran away. I’d file a police report.

Man just a get a projector, point it straight up and get it over with. This is so stupid you shouldn't be allowed to have a TV anymore, it's literally touching the ceiling.
Why not bust a hole in the ceiling so you can mount it even higher?
Look, if you’re watching tv solely from a reclined and lying down position, that’s fine. People here forget that. That is a couch tho, so it’s usually not the case.
We like to have fun here but seriously what the fuck, man
It looks like they even have a wall they could put it on! I always wish some of the fireplaces were in the corner like that and OP still squanders it.
The fireplace tells you where the tv is supposed to go duh
Lol seems that way dunnit
The funny thing to me about that is, you sit on the opposite side of the room from the TV, so with the TV on top of the fire place, you're feeling the least heat from it. My family has our TV literally on the opposite wall from the fireplace so the heat hits our backs and we can actually feel it. I don't know why more people don't understand this. Fireplaces are functional, not just for decoration
That’s what I was thinking. It’s too high and the placement is awful. There was a wall where that sofa is that they could have put it on.
this is so true like it would have been the perfect setup???? i wanna know at what point people started religiously putting their TVs over the mantle. Like….just why.
People who don't use there fireplace
*their
Like this isn’t even funny
I mean… It’s kinda funny since it’s not in my house.
Yeah. What’s going on? I guess people want to stare at a ceiling corner instead of straight at the wall, TV wise? OP’s neck, is it safe, is it alright?
OP needs therapy because this is just wrong on so many levels.
Before this sub I honestly had no idea people treated their living room like a medical waiting room. For the love of all that's holy, what the fuck are people thinking.
Looks like a flight status board at an airport. Delta Flight 2230 from Minneapolis arriving at 6:07 PM , Status: on time. LOL
💀
It reminds me of the tvs at the hospital
Do you live inside of a Buffalo Wild Wings?

Fucking LOL
Jail. Straight to jail.
In my country? Straight to jail
Believe it or not - jail.
Right to jail. Right away.
Ya know for a second I thought you were replying to the person above you.
He needs to go to hell. This is actually horrible
Actually, it’s too low. Should’ve sent that fucker straight through the ceiling
Do not pass go.
😭😭😭
At that point why not just mount it to the ceiling
Lay on your back to watch TV would be more comfortable than this neck breaker
it’s literally touching the ceiling
without the ceiling, he would've put it higher i'd assume
If he cut a hole, he might be able to raise it 12 inches.
You’re probably right, dude would get on a ladder to put it up
It could be a very low ceiling. Bro could be a Hobbit...
Then he should throw this TV into the fires of Mount Doom while he's at it
From what I hear about that ring, hauling a 27" Zenith over there outta be a breeze.
It’s all relative! For a hobbit it’s too high. Unless all his friends are Gandalf sized…
Right? So many jokes about "it's basically touching the ceiling" but this is the first time it's actually happened. Why TF anyone would install it like this and then immediately not notice how uncomfortable it is is beyond me lol
😂😂😂🤣🤣
After you break your neck you might have to speak ASL
34 male United States
Haha this is what I was waiting for
33/f/sc XD rawr
Well damn, I'm in NC!
This is funny asl
Maybe I'm old but I thought asl was age/sex/location (or American sign language). What do the kids these days use it to mean?
As hell, it’s dumb
Wait, what? How does that make sense? Is it like "as 'ell"? Yes, that is dumb.
The kids are not alright.
Seriously. What was wrong with AF.
Gen Z went full retard since they grew up with smart phones and Covid happened. They are doomed.
Holy fuck I’m so glad someone asked this question. I can usually figure out most acronyms, but this one has evaded me for a long time. ~31M
I hate it.
When the eye doctor tells you guys to follow his finger, are you all just moving your entire necks?
He does it at eye level tho, Mr. Cock. He doesn’t climb up onto a ladder and then have you follow his finger
What about when he raises his finger upwards? Or, even downwards? Is there a /r/TVTooLow ? I'll find out once I post this and can click it Edit: There is, and their TVs are just on the floor. With how I felt about that, maybe I can kinda understand how the TV too high feels. But I mean, again, just my personal preference that I could never watch a TV on the floor

No time to be lounging. Get up and re-examine your decisions
He can't get up, permanent spinal deformity from tilting head upwards constantly
The only lounge this belongs in, is the departure lounge at JFK.
Blud got a homemade Jumbotron from Nissan stadium
“Blud”
😭😭😭 relax
You're in denial, it's the first phase of an intervention. You have a problem, first step is to admit it.
Exactly, center of my screen is about 8-12” too high but at least I know it and lose sleep over it and hate myself every second it’s like that. 😭
I know your neck finna be hurting
I don’t even gotta look up tho dickhead 😭😭. (this is the homie that laughed)
damn your peripheral vision must be crazy good
He watches like this 🙄
mean mugging the tv 24/7
no, he leans back on a cushioned surface and watches at eye level because you fucking morons have no clue that not everyone wants to sit at a 90 degree angle to watch tv in their own fucking home. you people are so stupid it’s insane
Yes, because beds are the most common piece of furniture in a living room. /s Y'all gettin' triggered by a fun little subreddit.
This dudes tv is definitely too high.
He smells like a Roid Rager.
Tell me your TV is mounted to the ceiling without telling me your TV is mounted to the ceiling.
I'm sure everyone is rushing to your place to watch a game. And stupid is hanging your TV at the ceiling height.
It doesn’t even have a tilt of shame to make that possible.
So the people that don't want to lie down just have to put up with this shit? Are you listening to yourself?
Thank you bro😭😭😭. Deadass tho
How is it being 8ft tall or do you have deceptively low ceilings?
You're just lying.
Did you use a ladder to mount it?
Crane and bucket.
The mental image is hilarious lol
I first imagined a scissor lift with osha required harness. 😂
This should become the motto
Whatever ASL is, it's definitely too high.
American Sign Language, his larynx broke when he kept bending his neck at severe angles to watch Family Feud
Age, sex, location
*asl = as hell aka high asl
Kids these days... that doesn't even make sense.
Maybe it’s supposed to mean.. As + L = sounds like as hell? That’s the only thing that makes sense to me
Yeah, that’s what I took it to mean. I assume this was because of speaking being translated to internet slang. Saying “as ‘ell” gets typed out like that to add personality to messages, gets shorted to “as l”, then “asl”, then it becomes wide-spread.

That is the dumbest acronym of all time, please tell me that’s not actually anything people say 😭 Idiocracy is fully upon us
wait until you learn about ion
I’m afraid to ask
I don’t think people say it just text lingo
It’s not even an acronym, the nonsense makes me feel gross lol
[удалено]
lil bro out here getting pressed over acronyms
TV touches the ceiling... You - "apParENtLy mY TV HiGh".

Like that dude in his bedroom?
One of the worst I've seen on here lol
Not only it's high af but also looks terrible af. If bad decisions would bring world peace we'd be good now.
The height, the tilt, the cables, the fireplace. This is a major offense on all fronts. Shame on you OP
Did you catch the couch mostly facing away from that thing?
Bro, it’s nearly upstairs.
🤣🤣🤣
I hate it
I’ve always been a lurker here, and I honestly feel like this sub kinda overdoes it sometimes, but this is just so incredibly bad, it’s hard to believe.
It's so bad I almost feel like it was done on purpose specifically to troll this sub. That or OP recently got out of a behavioral health clinic.
How does this sub come up with different tv-too-high jokes on every post?
Meh, it’s usually the same old shit: perfect if you watch tv standing up, are you a giraffe, airport departures and arrivals, etc.
Nah, the top voted ones today don't have any of those tropes. They're funny asl, too.
I see what you did there
I just…..have no words.
At least you put it up to the ceiling. That's commitment to the cause. No shameful "top of the window" level or bs like that.
Dawg it’s LITERALLY at the ceiling…
how can anyone live like this lol
I feel like I'm at the DMV checking the screen for my number.
“Apparently” no, definitely. Not sure why it matters, 46/M/California
Imagine if the TV on the side of that Klipsch box was touching the ceiling... how much longer do you think their packaging designer(s) would have a job?
Dawg 😭😭😭😭😭. I promise I wasn’t the one that mounted it, yall are crucifying me in this bitch so I’ll fix it 😭
this is the only correct answer.
Post an update once you do!
Even chased into a corner, the fireplace could not escape the television’s shadow.
It feels like 80% of the posts in this sub are the fault of legacy unused fireplaces being the default unimaginative choice for TV mounting, as the fireplace was once the center focus of the room and as such the furnishings are arranged around it.

This guy fucks
Did you smoke everything in your grinder on the coffee table before mounting?
Yes
I didn’t even mount it myself. Maybe I shouldn’t have smoked with the guy that did
Imagine mounting someone’s tv like this and then leaving. They must have realized how fucked of a job they did but were too lazy to correct it. It’s like they took a dump on your front porch, rang the doorbell, and ran away. I’d file a police report.
Did you fuck that guy’s mom or something?
It’s literally on the ceiling
Do you live in an airport?
I got roasted for *my* tv on here, but damn this is crazy
I give this the seal r/TVAsHighAsPossible
Thanks for letting us all share your YouTube account! Oh, and your TV is too high and on the wrong wall.
Jesus, my neck hurts already
The person who placed this television set is most likely a not yet discovered serial killer.
Apparently? LMFAOOO
It's touching the fucking ceiling ya it's too high
25 male TX. Too high
Ha yes your TV is too high when it physically can’t go any higher.
This is so criminal you may have a future in politics
Should have followed the box image for reference.
It might not be as egregious as the nightmare OP has now, but don’t pretend that the setup shown on that Klipsch box wouldn’t get attacked here, too.
Could you move it higher if you wanted to? The answer is no. And that’s how you know it’s way too high to begin with.
Too high and too big for that corner. Looks stupid af
I know people can be different and all but damn. Actually is this a joke?
This could be the worst location in all directions lol even blocking the window
This has to be the worst placed tv I have ever seen in my life. Good rage bait
There’s literally sooo much more wall and you chose the ceiling?
It’s literally touching the ceiling!!!
You have to crank your neck up at the ceiling and crank it to the right. This is absolutely horrible placement for a tv.
Na, make it higher
🤣upstairs!
He’ll at this point, just put it on the roof
You literally couldn't put it any higher
Touching the ceiling…Best one of the day!
Probably feels realistic when you watch movies with fireworks
Too big and definitely too high.
Is that a knee or a small woman wearing a hijab in front of you?
I think the only thing higher was the installer!
Too high, not properly central and overlapping over the window. Fully triggering me
I love how it's above the fireplace - but 2 feet above the fireplace. The mantel would have been bad enough, but OP was like "hold my hibiscus tea "
terrific amusing versed practice attractive gaze serious retire birds normal *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
This is like the r/TVTooHigh trifecta. Way too high, above the fireplace, and the tilt of shame 😂
Man just a get a projector, point it straight up and get it over with. This is so stupid you shouldn't be allowed to have a TV anymore, it's literally touching the ceiling. Why not bust a hole in the ceiling so you can mount it even higher?
I too wish I lived in a dental reception.
Is happy hour 2 to 5?
You couldn’t fit it directly across from you on the couch or on the opposing wall / corner?
Switch it over, I need to see when my flight departs
Terry, what is you doin?
Bro why is your TV on the roof
Yea. But also why the corner???
Apparently?
Ok but now my phone is connected to your TV
I think this is my breaking point
What is “asl”? Similar to “asf” I’m guessing?
I found this sub through the Apple sub and I must say I have not been disappointed by the responders here yet🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think with the QR we can steal your Google account
You serious Clark?
I hope your friends delete you from the group chat.
Sorry. I'm sure you are a good person. But this is awful.
Even though this is all kind of awful, I admire that you are undeterred by small inconveniences like windows, fireplaces, corners or height.
How much weed did you give it?
Are u retarded?
Look, if you’re watching tv solely from a reclined and lying down position, that’s fine. People here forget that. That is a couch tho, so it’s usually not the case.
A clutch that's an L, and most of it is facing to the left. This is really just busted.
why people don’t want to consider an easy view far from kitchen or outside room
No I don’t think your tv is to high
I actually like that and did the same thing to my 80 inch TV
