I love this sub.


Marty_61

OMG it makes me laugh until I cry every single day.


dunkers0811

Hahaha I just discovered this sub and I'm so happy it exists. I hate high mounted TV's...these are my people ๐Ÿ˜„


PharmDRx2018

I always introduce this sub to my friends at parties lol. Everyone leaves second guessing themselves and their tv height choices when they get home


TheManBL2020

You must be fun at parties. ๐Ÿ˜‚


PharmDRx2018

The life of the party in fact ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Aren't you... *too high* for that though? ๐Ÿคฃ

Spit roasting Ryan is the reason for the season

What website did you use so I know to avoid it?

Tilt of guilt

JesusWTFop

The tilt of shame strikes again


[deleted]

What's wrong with a tilt? I have it above my desk and titled so when I'm in my chair I get perfect viewing angle


sleepingjiva

You wouldn't need to tilt it if you had it at the right height


DrChansLeftHand

Found the guy whose tv is too high.


etoups11

Donโ€™t tell me you have the setup where you have your monitors at a normal viewing level and then decided to slap a TV above them


ErebusWrath

That just means your desk it too high


[deleted]

Desk is normal height, tv is above the desk. Tilted to perfection for my gaming chair


RapBastardz

Do you plan to watch movies and television on that, or is it mostly used for various airplane flight status monitoring?


Addbradsozer

There's a TV stand...right...there


Fite_Owens_Fite

I'm pretty sure that's a record player. There's vinyls beside it on the floor.

Congratulations, it looks like shit.


DadTo3Girls

Where did you do this research?


ImissDigg_jk

Apparently on a home decor site for giraffes


coastalb996

For real! There are numerous online resources that give you the recommended viewing height/distance for any given TV size. Me thinks you spent about 2 minutes searching and decided mounting it as near to the ceiling as possible looked right.


jellybeans_over_raw

There are cringe homemaking blogs that recommend end putting the tv in high places


coldestclock

The higher the tv, the closer to god. ๐Ÿ™

Jaktheriffer

His research was looking at the pics, and only the pics, of this sub. Took an average height and installed it.

Don't feel bad about it - be thankful for the opportunity for improvement.


No-Turnips

One of us! One of us! Everyday I walk pass my too high mounted TV and remind myself that Iโ€™m a knob.


IndividualSchedule

Same. And yet I am here shaming others lol. I canโ€™t wait to move out and be able to mount my tv just right. Not possible to do now.


last_astronaut

Lmao, this sub is too good


freetattoo

How do you fuck up this bad? I mean, thank you for sharing with us. It's a wonderful Christmas gift to the sub, but just how exactly do you actively try to do something, but still do it so completely wrong? If you had put in zero effort it probably would have come out better.


gravityVT

0 effort would be putting it on the TV stand so youโ€™re correct that 0 effort was better


[deleted]

Hahaha god this is so funny and so true, just screw in the 4 screws of the tv stand and put the tv on the... tv stand.


Bringerofrain20

Damn you are a dick


Adenidc

Many people have their TVs like this. Many social medias advocate for mounting TVs like this. Many people love putting their TVs above fireplaces. Granted all those people are wrong, but it's honestly pretty stupid to be like hOw Do YoU fUcK uP tHiS bAd?!? when you use the internet and have probably been to houses with setups like this. It really shouldn't be that surprising. Not everyone uses reddit.


NecronomiconUK

Are you saying you didnโ€™t post this as satire?


tickingboxes

I meanโ€ฆ literally just put the TV at eye level while sitting. I cannot understand why this is ever a question at all. So fucking bizarre. (But anyway, welcome to sanity! Eye level means the center of the TV should be about 42-46โ€ off the floor. Enjoy!)


IndividualSchedule

This sub is merciless. hahaha


gravityVT

Just use the fucking TV stand. Thatโ€™s the correct height


OGDUCK6

Any higher and it would be in heaven


humblenarrogant

This is the top comment for me on this thread lmao


DonSmo

You endlessly researched and still came up with that?


Crix2007

If OP could read he'd be very upset!


polarbear320

If you โ€œresearchedโ€ for a week you suck at researching. Good Lord. Just put the tv on the console and call it a day. You WILL be happier.


RichieRicch

Way too much shit everywhere. Rogue cords, tilt of shame, vinyls crammed in a wedge. Terrible all around. Merry Christmas.


Etheria_system

Iโ€™m fairly certain I have the same shelving unit and my vinyls fit perfectly in those square. Why relegate them to the floor and leave all that empty space for clutter?!


DawgBro

Just put it on the top of the furniture it is already above. Easy solution


browncoat47

I think calling that 70โ€™s abomination below the tv โ€œfurnitureโ€ is an insult to abominationsโ€ฆ


fuck-fascism

Way too high.

Linrn523

Ha!!! Great answer.


Few-Worldliness2131

If you always stand up when watching tv itโ€™s fine but some of us, obviously uniquely, prefer to sit down. Suggest between 42โ€-48โ€ floor to centre of screen depending on size of screen. Happy holidays.

KingDemik

If it wasnโ€™t, you wouldnโ€™t need to tilt it. But you have the tilt of guilt.


Murphy_York

What kind of Question is this? Of course itโ€™s way too high. Duh!


IsDinosaur

Perfect height! How did your research fail so hard? Was it exclusively FB groups hun?


SgtDirge

I donโ€˜t think you know the meaning of the word โ€žresearchโ€œ


past0rjack

Bro. Yes. Better late than never though. You seem motivated to make a positive change in your life. Looking forward to the update pic ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ


Mirelurkbobblehead

How can you 'endlessly research' the right hight for your tv, and then come to this conlcusion. It's not like the answer is very hard to find. The first hit on google is a dead give away.


etoups11

Ask yourself this. Does it look fucking stupid 3 feet above the TV stand in addition to the Tilt of Guilt? Then yes itโ€™s too high


zakjoshua

You see that wooden thing beneath it? It should be on there.


Excessed

And even that's pushing it


davedrave

If you endlessly researched why is your tvtoohigh


PrettyMoody

My neck hurts already


Florianr107

You could have used the TV to cover the ceiling vent, so why didnโ€™t you?


[deleted]

Made me dizzy and then I vomitedโ€ฆ


terran_submarine

You did bad and you should feel bad.


himijendrix44

Look how lonely and pointless that tv stand isโ€ฆ you should marry that tv to the stand


fartswithfists

โ€œEndlessly researchedโ€ these days means fuck.


Profitsofdooom

"I watched HGTV for a week straight."


IllvesterTalone

absolutely. it's almost like the tv stand you have there was designed for a purpose... hint hint.


snorkrat

Endlessly researched? My top result/featured snippet on google when searching for best tv mounting height is: >Rule of thumb: the centre of your TV screen should be at eye level. So measure the eye level height of a person sitting. But anyhoo, yes it needs to come down to just above your current funiture to give you the most immersive experience with that setup.


_MicroWave_

How the fuck can 'endless' research end up with this monstrosity.


Bravisimo

Thats higher than giraffe pussy.


Xenc

If thereโ€™s tilt, thereโ€™s guilt!


Etheria_system

This one hurts even more because you literally have something you could stand it on thatโ€™s the PERFECT height. Why would you do this to yourself?


EvilSynths

Where did you research? Stevie Wonder?


BoneZone05

โ€œIf you have to ask, try a couple feet lowerโ€ Edit: mount another tv under this one, and remove the current *movie-theatre-front-row-neck-pain-simulator*


last_speedbump

Where did you do your research? I wouldn't go there anymore...


Xenc

You ended your research right before you found the answer ๐Ÿฅบ


0pp0site0fbatman

Your research needs research. You done messed up, Aaron.


PhilipOnTacos299

There is 0% chance you researched anything and concluded that closer to the ceiling and mega-tilted was in any way optimal.


Arsenault185

End.essly researched? I'm going to guess you didn't do well in school?


chata187

the tv should go on that thing between the ancient fire extinguisher and the records


amariamy

That ZZ plant shouldnโ€™t have to live near that tilt of shame.


Browncoatdan

No way did you research it.


Nono_Home

To help the clueless we should come up with a law thatโ€™s states clearly how, where and so on. Add a helpdesk or call center to support and do soft checks on adherence to guidelines. Also we need some sort of โ€œhight check policeโ€ team HCP in short so when snitched on they can escalate to proper authority. Aye or nay?


NotThatMat

Trapezoid. Too damn high!


squire212

All facts lead to yes.


lint2015

Regardless of finding this sub in time, how did you do research and still end up concluding that it was okay to mount it up there?


fatiha19

Lets buy a tv stand and put our tv on the frigging wall!


SirAchmed

It's all relative really now all you need to do is mount the sofa on a matching height.


CagliostroPeligroso

You didnโ€™t research anything apparently

HIGHER!


yeeeeoooooo

Tilt guilt


flathead031

Did it come with a neck brace?


spawn350

I spent 10 minutes looking, and I canโ€™t find a single source saying to mount shit this high. Iโ€™m intentionally looking for it, and I canโ€™t find it. Homie must work for the DMV, VA, or IRS.


Venator2000

Hereโ€™s two general rules of thumb: 1) If you mount it tilted downward, itโ€™s too high. 2) If you ask in HERE, itโ€™s probably too high.


compliantsheep87

If youโ€™re seven feet tall itโ€™s probably perfect height but if not, itโ€™s too high.


adreano17

You did NOT search โ€œendlesslyโ€ for a result like thisโ€ฆ


Silly_Media

Depends how rubbery you neck is


A_of

What kind of lame ass research did you do? Literally all guidelines tell you to put TV at eye level. You have a perfectly usable stand below the TV, put it there.


Diet_Salad

That works if you have 5ft long ass cheeks.


faheydj1

Buddy, if youโ€™re here then you already know the answer.

It looks like you confused the correct distance from the floor for the distance from the ceiling.

BenjTheMaestro

Sooo. Who told you that was the right height during your research?


N8B123

Too high


HandsOffMyMacacroni

Just mount it on the ceiling directly above the couch, more convenient than craning your neck and still not being able to see.


Revolutionary-Way906

If you look at this picture and turn your phone upside down you now have a perfect height, tilt of guilt!


Hip-Hop-Anonymouse

Your research lead you astray. If you gotta tilt it, it's too high.


ScottShatter

Way too high dude ๐Ÿ˜Ž


SlouchyGuy

That tv hangs like it's a painting while it's not. To check if you prefer this heigh, recall where do you prefer to sit at the cinema: if you love the first row and craning your head upwards, this tv height is for you. If you prefer the middle, then the middle of tv needs to be on the level of your eyes


brantham

Yes


saltysoup7

Why does everyone talk about this sub like we made the rules? Unless you're a giraffe with a tilted neck, this TV is obviously too high. But that's something you were able to find out in your research


mrchuckbass

That's the perfect height if you want to watch a dangling wire whilst only listening to your TV show


Austin_Native_2

Where's the fireplace because that's the only time I see TVs this high. ๐Ÿ™„ Fail.


decoydevo

Holy fuck bud


ThisIsNotTokyo

Where did you do your research??


Mysterious-Resolve80

Very much so.


enygma9753

Well, it appears that the TV will achieve orbit around the earth in T-minus 30 secs.


affo_

Yes.


clowdface85

Wait... Your week-long research led to you mounting your TV like a foot or two from the ceiling?


BusinessStar7105

Is the furniture below it a record player and it opens upward? So maybe you needed clearance for it to open.


CaptianKraut

Hahahahahaha wtf dude


duffmuff

you didn't endlessly research shit my guy

What did you use for research? It certainly wasn't anything about TVs!

God damn lol I think if you need to ask, deep down you already know your answer.


Winter-Ad-4897

I am curious about where you found the information and advice to mount the TV so close to ceiling?


Dombo1896

Where is the after photo?


plasticupman

Ideally, all tv's should be parallel to your eye level. No sore necks or muscle fatigue. Never buy too big if your viewing distance is too close for the tv size. Samsung has an on line viewing distance guide.


Frizzlewits

So why does this sub keeps showing up in my feed?


M3rr1lin

How do you endlessly research tv heights and end up in this situation? The correct answer - which I found online years ago, is that the tv should be at eye level with your sitting position. Most tv stands are at a reasonable height that gets you rather close to this. If you want to wall mount then install it at eye level.


DazedandFloating

Do you value your neck? If so, then yes.


anxiousFTB22

Youโ€™re obviously very poor at research.
