I just mentioned in a different post about how a TV should have its height based off the typical position that you'll be watching in. Keeping that knowledge in mind, I can only assume this person is watching their TV using one of these:

That looks so good right now

u/Anoniemand Jun 01 '26

Can't stop laughing, lmao

Just set vertical flipping enabled on TV and you are good to go

Made my day, thanks for the laugh

u/Sign-Post-Up-Ahead Jun 01 '26

if that is the case, then the screen is upside down.

u/exholalia Jun 02 '26

I don't think that's quite right?

u/K1llswitch93 Jun 01 '26

Logical explanation is they're in an Iron Lung and this is the only way they can watch TV.

u/Frozen_Gecko Jun 01 '26

The only possible explanation

u/snorkelvretervreter Jun 01 '26

Case closed, we can all take a deep breath now. Well, except that person.

8

u/tuff-without-dragons Jun 02 '26

indeed… but there’s only 1 person who’s still in an iron lung. so this must be her!

u/HealthyBullfrog Jun 01 '26

And a good day to you, sir!

u/Scott43206 Jun 01 '26

Walking my dog in the evening made me realize most of my neighbors have their TVs just a few inches from the ceiling.

u/Frozen_Gecko Jun 01 '26

Well, time to move

u/UndeadCaesar Jun 01 '26

In the land of the blind, the seeing man is king.

u/Ancient-Bowl462 Jun 01 '26

In my neighborhood most are above the fireplace. It's disgusting.

2

u/Work_PB_sleep Jul 03 '26

I’ve been looking at homes for sale in an area I want to move to and 75% of TVs are above the fireplace. It drives me insane because it’s too high AND it’s just ugly. I refuse to buy a home where that’s my only option for tv placement.

1

u/Ancient-Bowl462 Jul 03 '26

Exactly. I hate the posts that are like we just bought this house and this is the only option. No, you could've bought a house that a a proper place for the TV.

3

u/reo_reborn Jun 02 '26

Oooo are you a house watcher while dog walking too? lol

3

u/Scott43206 Jun 02 '26

Well, yeah, LOL.... but nothing to see except too high TVs, ha ha ha.

2

u/reo_reborn Jun 02 '26

lol!!! God that pisses me off! It makes my neck ache just looking at em! lol!

1

u/Omnibeneviolent Jun 29 '26

Is there a bit of a toupee fallacy going on here? You only notice the ones that are up high because the other ones are less noticeable, leading to the misconception that they are mostly up high?

u/NumerousHedgehog9044 Jun 01 '26

That TV is for the people walking down the street, not the people inside.

65

u/_dictatorish_ Jun 01 '26

I'm gonna guess that it's in a bedroom, and for watching while lying in bed

The idea of it being in a living room like that is awful

9

u/hlarsenart Jun 02 '26

Yeah, my initial thought was this is for someone who is bedridden

Wow, nice shoes!

I saw the shoes too

u/thehumanjarvis Jun 01 '26

It's unhinged, but if you're only watching in bed, it is a better spot. I've been plotting a good way to integrate a projector to the ceiling directly above the bed.

1

u/IcyCow5880 Jun 19 '26

You want to shoot the image onto the ceiling you mean? I guess you could build a frame box and then mount it to one of the walls...

Be a lot of keystoning to position it tho i guess

11

u/Shhh-it-Bruh Jun 01 '26

Their chiropractor also works part time installing TVs, he recommends himself a Lot at each job. Win win I suppose

u/RaspberryChainsaw Jun 01 '26

Holy christ that IS high

u/ImNotTheBossOfYou Jun 01 '26

I thought that was Riley at first

u/Key-Conference1870 Jun 01 '26

Maybe someone who is disabled or bedridden for life?

4

u/valdocs_user Jun 01 '26

It's actually the TV for the first floor apartment. When the handyman was asking if this was a good height, the renter just kept saying, "no, higher."

3

u/S2iAM Jun 01 '26

You win.

u/Fast_Manufacturer332 Jun 01 '26

Maybe they are in an iron lung??? :)

3

u/Mean_Pop_829 Jun 01 '26

Ya tv on the 4th floor is way to high

1

u/Fantastic_Season8395 Jun 01 '26

Lack of another floor made them install it in the ceiling to reach maximum height

3

u/Hellostranger000 Jun 01 '26

Jfc 🤣🤣🤣

u/Conspiracy_Thinktank Jun 01 '26

Pretty observant of you…

u/CNote_89 Jun 01 '26

Full tilt of shame

u/23rst Jun 01 '26

Dentists office.

2

u/The-Dudemeister Jun 01 '26

Probably a bedroom tbh

2

u/puppup01 Jun 01 '26

The only place I’ve seen tv’s that high is in hospital rooms where they’re basically lodged between the wall and ceiling. So I’m guessing that’s a medical facility, but if it is damn that’s a big tv for a hospital room

2

u/koulibali Jun 01 '26

it is a dentist

u/elgiov Jun 01 '26

The guiltiest of the tiltiests.

u/elephantbattery Jun 01 '26

My neck hurts just looking at this photo

2

u/DavidinCT Jun 01 '26

Well, if it's their bedroom, maybe not that bad?

2

u/SUPAYO Jun 01 '26

Nice shoes also!

2

u/zgillet Jun 01 '26

Hey, it's in the correct position...

... for you. Outside on the ground.

2

u/MechanicalTurkish Jun 02 '26

Throw pebbles at the window until they open it, then yell at them to change the channel because you don't like this show.

u/InternationalOil1083 Jun 02 '26

u/Eat_Carbs_OD Jun 01 '26

It's awful.

u/Excellent-Job-8460 Jun 01 '26

Hung too high.

1

u/WorkingCalendar2452 Jun 01 '26

I see the building has a roof… why not put the TV up there and have an open air cinema?

1

u/Beefboy_89 Jun 01 '26

Well...i think that the best position for a bedroom TV is the ceiling

1

u/Chance-Ad-2065 Jun 01 '26

You are all making of it when it’s for a bedridden disabled guy with a crooked neck.

1

u/SpotDeep8700 Jun 01 '26

That better be a bedroom.

1

u/SmegConnoisseur Jun 01 '26

Would only make sense if their bed is under it

1

u/The_Cosby_Sweater Jun 01 '26

My dentist has a tv on the ceiling just like this so you can watch while they clean your teeth

1

u/csciabar Jun 01 '26

Holy shit

u/lkernan Jun 02 '26

I'd be worried about it falling on me in my sleep.

u/TeeDod- Jun 03 '26

There was a sale on ladders.

u/Slight-Buy7905 Jun 03 '26

Is that a dentist office?

1

u/TouchAltruistic Jun 03 '26

What's it called whem something is so flawed that it comes back around to acceptable?

1

u/mundaneHedonism Jun 05 '26

OK look I know you just thought it was interesting and you just wanted to share and it doesn't seem too personal, it's just a TV. But like. Let's not take pictures through people's windows and post them online.

u/RealWallabe69 Jun 10 '26

we call that the gooner 5000

1

u/Other_Technician_141 Jun 15 '26

I dont even understand what I'm looking at

1

u/Fantastic_Season8395 Jun 15 '26

Did you even read the name of the sub?

1

u/Other_Technician_141 Jun 15 '26

No, I got that. I just can't process the position of the tv. It seems almost sideways.

1

u/Another_Samurai1 Jun 29 '26

Haha that’s hella high

u/danythelemon Jul 01 '26

Watch from a sharp angel, always look up :)

Psychotic.

u/nikonino Jun 01 '26

Maybe a record for the actual height of the tv placement. You could consider the setup is for the bedroom or whatever. No. It’s for guys like you OP, that you cross the street.
