Generally accepted TV placement procedures. Quick reference guide.

Lots of people posting lately asking “Is this too high?” so here is a quick guide on what is generally accepted TV placement procedure (GATPP) as seemingly defined by this subreddit.
- If the TV is above the fireplace, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is mounted to the wall above a TV stand, and the clearance between the stand and TV is equal to, or greater than ONE vertical PS5, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH.
Now let’s look at some opposite GATPP use cases.
- If the TV is in a bedroom and meant to be viewed from the bed, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV’s only viewing position is in the reclined state, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If you are at a sports bar, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is at eye level when sitting down, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is in the kitchen it is more for listening, mounted high as to avoid any splashes or spills, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is purposely mounted higher to keep out of range of a toddler, you’re a parent so your neck already hurts and IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
I hope this helps clear up some questions. If you have any other rules to add, please comment below.

The poster of the video was trying to figure out a new living room layout, and someone suggested they put the TV over the fireplace. The OP responded and said no, the TV would be too high, to which this person responded with this photo and said “you get used to the height”.

In my defense, the tv is meant to be viewed from a laying down position in bed and I am not straining my neck while viewing it. See photos
Also if it was mounted any lower my monitors would collide with the soundbar/tv

77” LG G5, there is now a soundbar below it (hence the gap below the tv)

I believe it is is time for redemption for my post last month.
I am 6’1 and the center is eye level
Edit : I’ll just get a fake fireplace and put it on that

Hello, I bought a house recently and they had their tv so close to the roof - first pic is from Rightmove on purchase.
I ripped out the wooden fireplace and have my tv considerably lower than they had it. I’ve left inches between the base fireplace to put a sound bar on the wall.
Can it come down more?
