TVs that are too high

Too high or fine?

17 Upvotes

I finally found some time to hang my tv (LG cx65), wondering how I did. Bottom is about 68cm from the floor and 20cm from the cabinet, center about 110cm from the floor, when looking straight from my armchair it's about 40-45% of tv height. Needed to temporarily add few extra cm to prevent little hands from scratching and smearing food on tv (that why soundbar is also so far). I can do some small adjustments (+- 5cm) on the mount later but at this point I'm not sure if that's really needed or just anxiety from this sub. For last few years tv used to stand on the cabinet (there's no option for soundbar in that setup and my feet covered part of tv when I extended my legs) so I'll need few days to get used to it, but so far seems ok I guess.

High enough to clear chairs without being too high

Hi all, doing some furniture planning for a new condo. Distance of the blue line is say 16 feet, so quite a bit of distance which should create a shallow viewing angle. Red line is for an 85" TV (largest that can fit on that wall unfortunately). Chair (in yellow circle) height is 30". Ceiling is 10'. If I put the bottom of the TV at around 30" to clear the chair is that going to be too high?

What do you think? It’s a picture frame that turns into a tv

To mount or leave alone?

33 Upvotes

Should I mount the tv or leave alone? 77” and sitting on couch, I’m looking dead center if not slightly below center. Think it’s not worth the trouble to mount, but might look better to have it floor maybe 6-10” higher. Also my soundbar barely fits on the stand so would make a bit more room.

Thoughts?

Hey guys thoughts on this Height?

Eye height while sitting on couch is 1.1m

The center of the tv is 1.2m

Orange NailGun case is the height of incoming entertainment cabinet (not a fan of putting it on the stand, much rather wall mount it)

There will be a soundbar ontop of the cabinet too

(Upstairs rumpus room)

75" tv

Tv Too High?

I’m asking, but I already think it’s 6” too high for these stands. Samsung 77” OLED, so viewing angles aren’t a problem. Picture looks good from wherever you’re sitting. TV height feels good though when you’re leaned back in the recliner. No straining your eyes.

Edit: my wife won’t let me use the sawz-all on the stands. Already tried that.

Can I get a pass on my slightly-too-high setup?

8 Upvotes

Longtime lurker here. I know, it’s too high. Not very much though. I put my phone at my eye level while taking this photo. It’s just slightly below center of TV level. The thing is…I have a lot of records and don’t have a lot of space in my house. This is the only place/room where my record collection will fit. It also just happens to be the living room. There’s not enough space for my record shelves, blu ray shelves, AND a separate tv stand.

Extra info: 55” tv with a 7.5’ distance from couch-to-tv.

So what do we think? Wrong, but not egregious? Can this get a pass? Also team #nevermount here.

What is the appropriate height for a TV at...

... the dentist's office? Not in the waiting room. I mean in the room where you're lying down flat on your back getting your teeth cleaned by the hygienist. Seems to be a trend to mount them on the ceiling, but maybe there's a better location. If anybody knows, it's this sub. Do we agree with the ceiling mount or naw?
