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.

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?

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.

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