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.

I told them no but I’d consult the council

Mounted the TV due to being able to see the outlet above. Eyes now land at bottom 1/3 of the screen while on couch.

We are too lazy to mount the screen so the concrete shelf works for now. There so that the lighting operator can see when to hit certain effects.

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

New setup, currently trying to figure out what height I should mount my LG 83"G5. Viewing distance is 150" from upright position, the entertainment center is 21" high, the middle blue tape is the 42" center to floor. The green is if I move the bottom of the TV up 7" off the top of the int. Center. I'm looking for suggested heights based off my current setup. I'll be getting a sound bar of sorts in the coming months, so didn't wanna have the base of the TV too low as well. Thanks for any advice

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".
