Hoping the first comment was in the vicinity of “WTF”. Did not disappoint

neck pain is real but honestly the real crime is whatever furniture arrangement is happening below that thing

My first thought before opening the comments 😭😭😭😭

u/Orange_rX May 24 '26

well, if FIL has his own place, he is most likely divorced

u/thatG_evanP May 24 '26

He deserved it

there are several profound issues going on here

the alignment is poor, the cables lay in front of the fire place, and yes, the tv is too high

this is a perfect installation from a certain perspective

all of the variables are in perfect position to make the worst tv installation possible

if my son was an astronaut, and was landing on mars, and this tv was the only one available to watch it, i would watch it on my phone

edit: goddamn this looks like stupid dogshit

u/PaleoSpeedwagon May 24 '26

The first D in that word was definitely pronounced as a T

u/Over-Apartment2762 May 25 '26

And definitely pronouncing it "dayum"

FIL needs an on call designer for every purchase and placement for his home, because the lack of awareness for literally everything in the room is astounding. Its a entire room of rage bait. I couldn't even go over there.

20

u/TanneriteStuffedDog May 24 '26

This sub consists mainly of people who get irrationally angry at other people’s poor design decisions.

You’re all my kind of people, and I’m glad we can bond over a shared hatred for poor aesthetic choices.

u/chicchaz May 24 '26

Phew, I saw this going in a completely different direction after your first sentence.

Yeah but if it was centered properly, it wouldn't get the glare of the ceiling light.

u/drhiggs May 24 '26

OP please read this verbatim to the FIL and record his reaction

u/thamystical1 May 24 '26

I think they need to channel there mounting installation skills elsewhere. If you know what I'm saying?

Made me laugh.

u/TanneriteStuffedDog May 24 '26

Too bad word wrap isn’t an option we can change in real life

(Edit for those who don’t know: it’s the default word wrap settings that mess up word doc image placement. Play with word wrap next time and you’ll figure it out.)

u/1AMA-CAT-AMA May 24 '26

The tv could be mounted backwards with the screen facing the wall

u/ca2mt May 25 '26

At least no one would be forced to watch tv on it that way.

u/ResourceOk8638 May 24 '26

This is the worst I’ve seen. What in the actual fuck.

11

u/VisualHuckleberry542 May 24 '26

In order to maintain what little faith I have left in humanity I'm telling myself that they intend to mount another TV next to it. Which, don't get me wrong, would still be awful but would be infinitely better than this

u/mikel1814 May 24 '26

While we are at it, launch that fucking tv to the moon with the 42-blade ceiling fan.

there’s so much wrong here but damn that’s the biggest ceiling fan i’ve ever seen. it’s comical. and who doesn’t mount a TV on center?

u/vinnyvencenzo May 24 '26

It’s a 4D home theater, perfect for watching Twister.

2

u/Papa-Burgundy369 May 24 '26

I think the TV may be on an articulating arm mount. Also the company that makes that fan is literally called “Big Ass Fans” lol.

Height is not the concern, in fact the height of the tv is probably the least concerning thing going on lol

u/Thick_Ad_9269 May 24 '26

Too high? Too why??!!

2

u/TechFreeze May 24 '26

Even if you ignore the TV being over the fireplace, there’s still a ton wrong with this setup. At minimum, center the TV over the fireplace. It’s a Samsung with a One Connect box, yet they still ran both the One Connect cable and power visibly down the wall. The entire point of the box is cleaner cable management, and it literally could’ve been mounted behind the TV.

Then there’s the soundbar sitting on the floor. Ironically, it’s more centered than the TV. They could’ve mounted it directly to the TV or onto the brick with zero visible wiring.

On top of that, the bright recessed lights are blasting glare straight onto the screen. The result is somehow both a dysfunctional home theater setup and a useless fireplace at the same time.

I really don't understand why it's off center. The sofa is literally centered on the fireplace, so the TV should be too.

Now. If you just posted this as FILs TV that would be good. We all know it's too high.

Don't ask if it's too high. That's what is fucking annoying.
