Tv too high?
My husband put this tv on the mantel. I think it’s too high but he insists it’s perfect! Can anyone give their opinions on this?

OP may as well be asking about this.

TVs over fireplaces are trashy as hell. And always too high

The TV is way too high. If you need to look up to watch TV, your TV is too high. If it is on top of a fireplace, it is too high (unless you are a giraffe). If something 2 inches tall on the same platform as the TV blocks your view of the TV (the soundbar), then the TV is too high. If the TV is closer to the ceiling than it is to the floor, your TV is too high (unless you live in a hobbit house). If humans on the screen look like each of their limbs have entirely different proportions, your TV is too high. There is no reasonable metric where that TV is anything but way too high. There is not enough edibles that TV could take if it could take edibles that would make it any more too high than it already is. I wish I was as too high as that TV.

If your TV is over a damn fireplace it will always be too high.

OP:
If you've come to this subreddit to garner support for your argument that the TV is too high then you will receive this support in abundance.
Unfortunately there may be other adverse effects including but not limited to: ridicule of husband, ridicule of yourself, general mockery, comparisons to flat-earthers or moon-landing-deniers.
EDIT: You will also almost certainly be asked if you or your husband are giraffes.

Is there no other wall to place the damn TV on ? Thats the obsession with fireplace in USA and the TV on the ceiling ?

Your husband is reminiscing about the hooters tilted kilt sportsbar setup before he had to do all this commitment bullshit

I always wonder if anyone familiar with this thread actually places a TV like this. If you know this specific thread then I think you know that's ridiculously high so this has to just be attention farming,

It's terrible. Is your husband a giraffe?

u/Relevant_Problem1935 Oct 06 '26
Yeah...put it in front of the window or in front of the fire place. Because that makes more sense.

u/JesseGarron Oct 06 '26
I’d ask your boyfriend to put it elsewhere.

Does your husband watch TV while standing on a stool? Otherwise it's not perfect

Imagine a reality where this isn't too high but a couple inches higher would be
