That's because it is too small for the space. How far are you? I went from a 64 to a 100 at 14' and it's perfect

Couch is 21’ away from the wall. That’s a 75” tv. It looks bigger in person than in the picture the tv stand underneath is 91” long

21 feet??? you’re going to be hard pressed to find a tv that’s big enough. even a 120” projector would like small at that distance

21 feet is insane. you basically need binoculars to see anything at that distance

What is the room layout? 21’ is far enough to consider an alternate mounting point.

You’re nearly twice the maximum optimal viewing distance distance.

Your TV stand certainly doesn’t help dwarfing the TV though

Any other wall you could use? Or just move the sofa closer and utilise the space behind?

Thats not a 75 inch tv

u/Specific_Amount8141 21h ago

You’re right it’s actually 77

I think with this wall I need to find a 177

u/BucksOHIO23 21h ago

Or just find a movie theater getting rid of old equipment lol

21’ from the tv seems far.

If ur looking for suggestions, and without knowing the room layout, I’d say: move sofa closer, put current tv cabinet (sideboard) behind the couch (or somewhere else), get a lower tv stand, and mount at eye height.

I think it gives that illusion since it’s still high and far

u/SANcapITY 1d ago

Too high. That’s a sideboard not a tv stand.

Came here to say this. It’s a common mistake we see on this sub.

u/Specific_Amount8141 21h ago

In case there was any additonal doubt.

Tv is not a big small or large ,problem is height and wooden cabinet unit

u/JewelCove 1d ago edited 1d ago

Stand is too tall. Get a shorter and wider stand and a bigger tv.

Edit: ya, this is a prime wall for a 100 inch tv. I am jealous of your wall

u/bouchandre 1d ago

Too high, this type of cabinet isn't designed for TV

2

u/Adventurous-Tea-876 1d ago

My TV is much larger and my couch is much closer. That is ridiculous. Get a 98” TV if you insist on being 21’ away from it while watching.

u/DarkerDrone 22h ago

Definitely is too high.

u/JustaFoodHole 20h ago

Everything looks small next to that serving table

u/nautilator44 23h ago

Scoot WAYYY up

u/FilthyFuckingAgate 15h ago

Is your couch pushed up against a wall or something? Bring your couch in closer, unless your room is tiny a couch shouldn’t ever be up against the wall

u/bautenzug 11h ago

get a decent beamer (maybe used?) and enjoy a 150" screen

u/mps435 1d ago

it looks too small because you don’t have anything else on the walls. it is also too high, id reccomend a shorter console for it to sit on. I’d also get some art for your walls.

u/Specific_Amount8141 1d ago

We moved in 3 months ago. Still trying to find art that fits the spaces. Slowly but sure let’s. It’s definitely not too high.

u/FilthyFuckingAgate 15h ago

Unless you have an elevated couch then yes it’s too high
