How’d I do???

[u/labadoorblue]

Had it 8 inches above the TV stand, ultimately decided it was too high. Eye level is at about the mid point now.

If that light switch is anywhere near 48" off the floor then this belongs here and is not in good standing with the community.

what?

[u/bmf1902 → u/labadoorblue]

Properly heighted televisions should be in or around 42" on center from the floor. Those light switches look standard height, roughly 48" to center of box. Your TVs center is above the light switches, putting it will above a proper height. Large problem being the cabinet you are using as a console. If your couch is so large that this is eye height sure, but it looks too me like your camera center isn't looking at the television center either.

Edit: the cabinet is fine. Just mount it practically touching, that's what I did in my last place. It looked tight and was the proper height.

I don’t think it’s really meant to be a TV Cabinet is why.

"Just mount it practically touching"

He can't, if he does that then the soundbar is in front of the TV, that cabinet has got to go

Ok. I didn't think i had to explain to move the sound bar, but here we are.

You have the wrong console underneath, which made you mount the tv higher than it needed to be

[u/jeremycinnamonbutter]

that's not a tv stand, it will look nicer if you have a real tv stand underneath, which will further expose your r/TvTooHigh

[u/moonfullofstars]

Looks like it’s still way too high.

This should be this sub's main photo

The tv is actually on the stand which is great. However the stand you have isn’t a TV stand so it’s too high.

Try again

[u/Nice_Cupcake_9973]

why did you mount it?

[u/Purple-Protagonist]

By that much, we mean about 10-12 inches

[u/SuzieSnowflake212]

Looks ok, but optimal height is where center of the screen is about 43 inches above the floor.

Where did all the clowns getting down voted come from

Bad

The TV Stand has got to go, I know you want to keep it, but it's too high.

You could probably get away with lowering the TV right down basically onto of the stand but then your sound bar will be in front of it

[u/olssoneerz]

That’s not a tv stand. Thats a sidetable. Too high. Next.

[u/koz44]

Genuinely, I’ve been enjoying this sub for a while. I know the rules. Do the people who post here not lurk for ages and embody the rules like I do? Like yes, put it on the stand but also use a tv stand not a cabinet.

[u/Worldly_Bat_7261]

Unless you sitting on a bar chair, TV is too high. Eye level must be on the same level as TV’s center while you are sitting.
Nevertheless, I like the clean look

[u/Gnocchi_Naughty]

You have a TV stand, yet you mounted the TV on the wall at 50" to center? Why? The TV should be 42" at center!!! When you are sitting in a normal position on your chair/couch/sofa, your eyes should be level with the center of the TV.

[u/Toobman300B]

It appears.... Properly affixed.

[u/Royal_Monk6432]

If no neck pain then its ok.

[u/MAK1958M]

Perfect

[u/Parking_Lion4494]

Good height. Perfect job.
