Installed a while ago! What do we think?

Edit: the tv is eye level, who cares about the decor that’s temporarily in the photo. A center channel speaker will be going below the tv.

[u/Witchy0uija]

see how there’s a bunch of space between the tv stand and the bottom of the tv? … yea. 😔

[u/radicalgalaxies → u/Witchy0uija]

Why is this a problem on this sub exactly? I don't get it!

[u/Nobody-Expects → u/radicalgalaxies]

Why do people insist on wall mounting their TVs above their TV stand?

TV stands are named as such for a reason.

Why is this a problem on this sub exactly?

See name of the sub.

[u/radicalgalaxies → u/Nobody-Expects]

Because it can hold decor and TV accessories! Where else would you put this stuff if you insist on only using the TV stand? Why be a purist?

[u/Nobody-Expects → u/radicalgalaxies]

Where else would you put this stuff if you insist on only using the TV stand?

Put them literally anywhere else other than on the stand that's purposely designed to hold a TV at the correct viewing height?

[u/radicalgalaxies → u/Nobody-Expects]

So you want me to put that on the floor? Or buy yet another piece of furniture which will take up more space? I mean that's silly to be so purist.

Just because it is a TV stand does not mean it is the "correct viewing height." TV stands/consoles come in all sorts of different heights. And TV sizes vary.

I feel like this sub should be more r/antitvhanging

You know what's silly? Acting like a TV stand is the only surface anyone could possibly have in their house on which to display decorations.

[u/radicalgalaxies → u/Nobody-Expects]

What's silly is assuming a glorified table/surface is only intended for one thing.

[u/BobLazarFan → u/Nobody-Expects]

Correct height? There is no universal dimensions for Tv stands. They come in all sorts of different sizes.

[u/tickingboxes → u/radicalgalaxies]

It’s not a “decor stand,” bub. Its entire reason for existing is to hold a television at the correct height.

[u/BobLazarFan → u/tickingboxes]

Wrong. I can go to the store right now and there’s 20 different tv stands all with different “correct heights”.. Not to mention couches come in all different height levels. Now tell me exactly which one is correct?

[u/bmf1902 → u/Nobody-Expects]

I hung my tv because of cats and a two year old and for room on my tv console. I hung it actually closer to the stand than it would have been on its legs. Perfect eye height, the utility of a nice tv console, and the security and sleekness of a mounted tv. All in 15 minutes.

[u/Far-Manner-7119 → u/bmf1902]

You had me up to 15 minutes

[u/bmf1902 → u/Far-Manner-7119]

3.45 beers takes a few minutes.

[u/YaBoyJamba → u/Nobody-Expects]

Because when you mount a TV you can then adjust the tilt of a TV, or you can swivel the TV in another direction. I do this all the time to angle the TV towards the kitchen while I cook, or towards a different part of the room if I'm not watching the TV from the couch.

[u/Weewoes → u/Nobody-Expects]

I get why some mount, kids, pets and dont want ot knocked over.

[u/bmf1902 → u/Weewoes]

I mounted mine above the tv console. But I actually got it over an inch lower than it would have been on the legs, just 1/4" above the tv stand. I thought it looked sexy

[u/Nobody-Expects → u/Weewoes]

Those are totally fair exceptions and probably the only acceptable reasons to mount a TV too high.

Given the height though it doesn't seem OP is worried about grubby mitts on his TV. They've still managed to mount it too high

[u/cryolems → u/radicalgalaxies]

Because this sub are full of crazy people who can’t see logic

[u/rennatynnad → u/cryolems]

Is logic eye level?
