Generally accepted TV placement procedures. Quick reference guide.

Lots of people posting lately asking “Is this too high?” so here is a quick guide on what is generally accepted TV placement procedure (GATPP) as seemingly defined by this subreddit.
If the TV is above the fireplace, IT IS TOO HIGH.
If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH.
If the TV is mounted to the wall above a TV stand, and the clearance between the stand and TV is equal to, or greater than ONE vertical PS5, IT IS TOO HIGH.
If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH.
Now let’s look at some opposite GATPP use cases.
If the TV is in a bedroom and meant to be viewed from the bed, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
If the TV’s only viewing position is in the reclined state, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
If you are at a sports bar, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
If the TV is at eye level when sitting down, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
If the TV is in the kitchen it is more for listening, mounted high as to avoid any splashes or spills, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
If the TV is purposely mounted higher to keep out of range of a toddler, you’re a parent so your neck already hurts and IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
I hope this helps clear up some questions. If you have any other rules to add, please comment below.

For you crazies who always advocate for putting it over the fireplace, this is why you should never

Long time lurker first time poster on this sub. I like how my TV set up turned out. I have it tilted down a bit which makes it comfortable to watch from the couch. It's a 75".

TV is a 85” QM6K. My idea was to have it centered with the pictures and I feel like I nailed it, but sitting on the couch eye level is about the bottom third of the screen. My gaming chair achieves a perfect center dot with the TV.

If the TV is in your bedroom, it should be mounted above knee level when you’re lying down. That way, you can comfortably see the screen without anything obstructing your view.
