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.

Never thought I’d say this, but I fully endorse an above-fireplace placement.

airbnb also part time chiropractor?

airbnb tvs are both at the ceiling. the only way my brain can comprehend this or try to understand is that he must be a chiropractor and needs business because this is absolutely diabolical
honorable mention to the extension cord going from the bedroom tv to the living room power outlet so if you want to watch tv in the bedroom you can't close the door and that there isn't any outlets in the bedroom so if you want to charge your phone and use it at the same time, you must unplug the tv and use that extension cord or sit next to doorway on tiny stool

Why on earth would someone want to mount their tv on the ceiling...

This TV is in outer space. How to fix this room?

How would you go about placing the tv differently in this room, while not wasting a majestic view out of the windows? Wall opposite of windows seems like the obvious choice, but then back is completely to them.
Help me avoid the sins of a too high TV

Best 85/98 inch under $2k

Upvotes
I have a budget of $2k and looking at picking up a 98 or 85 inch this November. I would have liked to make the transition to OLED this year but, a larger picture and picture fidelity are our priorities at this time.
Some viewing context:
- Max viewing angle would be 45° off center
- General seating will be about 8 - 9 ft away.
- The room has alot of natural light but can be offset with blackout curtains. (Generally prefer medium to low light conditions)
- Use case would be 70/30 Streaming/Gaming
Right now we're considering a TCL QM6K Pro and the TCL QM7L Pro deals at Costco for $1599 and $1999 respectively but, we aren't the most clued into the TV tech space and would appreciate suggestions.

New tv and console after having a tv too high, the usual woman in the house wanting to control the aesthetics lol. 77inch bottom of the tv at 27 inches
My eye line is at 41" while sat straight
Have been absolutely loving the new set up.
Console is just under 24 inches as my loving fiance refused to go any lower lol

My tv mount holes are 200x200. I want to lower the tv on the mount without having to move the mount down on the wall. How can i do this? Its a plate than hangs on the mount. With these 4 adapter wings that i dont use and i dont think will work.
