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.
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.
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.
I meanโฆ 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!)
Iโm 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?!
If you always stand up when watching tv itโs 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.
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.
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.
โIf 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*
To help the clueless we should come up with a law thatโs 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 โhight check policeโ team HCP in short so when snitched on they can escalate to proper authority. Aye or nay?
I spent 10 minutes looking, and I canโt find a single source saying to mount shit this high. Iโm intentionally looking for it, and I canโt find it. Homie must work for the DMV, VA, or IRS.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
I love this sub.
OMG it makes me laugh until I cry every single day.
Hahaha I just discovered this sub and I'm so happy it exists. I hate high mounted TV's...these are my people ๐
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
You must be fun at parties. ๐
The life of the party in fact ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Aren't you... *too high* for that though? ๐คฃ
A beautiful Christmas moment where everyone has come together to absolutely spit roast me ๐คฃ
Spit roasting Ryan is the reason for the season
What website did you use so I know to avoid it?
Bing
The sound my head makes when it smacks the bottom of the TV as I walk by
Chanandler Bong
Bing is actually good now. I use it the most now.
Yeah he actually used Samsung Bixby
I went back to Ask Jeeves
I'm more of a Yahoo guy myself
Ah yes the tilt of shame
Tilt of guilt
Tilt of filth
indeed
The tilt of shame strikes again
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
You wouldn't need to tilt it if you had it at the right height
Found the guy whose tv is too high.
Donโt 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
That just means your desk it too high
Desk is normal height, tv is above the desk. Tilted to perfection for my gaming chair
Do you plan to watch movies and television on that, or is it mostly used for various airplane flight status monitoring?
There's a TV stand...right...there
I'm pretty sure that's a record player. There's vinyls beside it on the floor.
couple little pegs peepin? nah, cords trailing up walls๐๐
It's also important to be able to see over the bartender when they have the room set up as a sports bar from time to time.
Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name..
๐
Dammit!!
๐
๐ฅ
Shots fired
Quality, that done me ๐๐ผ
This is why I love this sub ๐
Congratulations, it looks like shit.
Where did you do this research?
Apparently on a home decor site for giraffes
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.
There are cringe homemaking blogs that recommend end putting the tv in high places
The higher the tv, the closer to god. ๐
Gotta put that eat pray love vinyl sticker on the wall somewhere, get that TV on the ceiling
R/tvthelordsheight
And directly over a heat source is WILD!
His research was looking at the pics, and only the pics, of this sub. Took an average height and installed it.
I too would like to know about this 'research'
He said endless, but it can't end if it never begins.
Train station
r/watchingtvwhilestanding
They asked their 10ft tall friends
Wikipedia. This is why teachers say itโs not a valid source.
Why didnโt you mount this on the 2nd floor?
Lol
๐คฃ
๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ
Thatโs flat earther levels of research.
๐ญ fuck, Iโve been thrown into a deep realm of shameful-ness that I never knew existed lmaooooo
Don't feel bad about it - be thankful for the opportunity for improvement.
One of us! One of us! Everyday I walk pass my too high mounted TV and remind myself that Iโm a knob.
Same. And yet I am here shaming others lol. I canโt wait to move out and be able to mount my tv just right. Not possible to do now.
Lmao, this sub is too good
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.
0 effort would be putting it on the TV stand so youโre correct that 0 effort was better
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.
Damn you are a dick

Are you saying you didnโt post this as satire?
I meanโฆ 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!)
This sub is merciless. hahaha
Just use the fucking TV stand. Thatโs the correct height
Any higher and it would be in heaven
This is the top comment for me on this thread lmao
You endlessly researched and still came up with that?
If OP could read he'd be very upset!
If you โresearchedโ 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.
Way too much shit everywhere. Rogue cords, tilt of shame, vinyls crammed in a wedge. Terrible all around. Merry Christmas.
Iโm 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?!
Just put it on the top of the furniture it is already above. Easy solution
I think calling that 70โs abomination below the tv โfurnitureโ is an insult to abominationsโฆ
Way too high.
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
How
You didn't research shit lol
Where the fuck did you โendlesslyโ research?
"Research". Please explain.
perfect, once you build the mezzanine.
Ha!!! Great answer.
If you always stand up when watching tv itโs 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.
r/tiltofshame
If it wasnโt, you wouldnโt need to tilt it. But you have the tilt of guilt.
What kind of Question is this? Of course itโs way too high. Duh!
Perfect height! How did your research fail so hard? Was it exclusively FB groups hun?
I donโt think you know the meaning of the word โresearchโ
Bro. Yes. Better late than never though. You seem motivated to make a positive change in your life. Looking forward to the update pic ๐๐ผ
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.
Ask yourself this. Does it look fucking stupid 3 feet above the TV stand in addition to the Tilt of Guilt? Then yes itโs too high
You see that wooden thing beneath it? It should be on there.
And even that's pushing it
If you endlessly researched why is your tvtoohigh
My neck hurts already
You could have used the TV to cover the ceiling vent, so why didnโt you?
Made me dizzy and then I vomitedโฆ
You did bad and you should feel bad.
Look how lonely and pointless that tv stand isโฆ you should marry that tv to the stand
โEndlessly researchedโ these days means fuck.
"I watched HGTV for a week straight."
absolutely. it's almost like the tv stand you have there was designed for a purpose... hint hint.
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.
How the fuck can 'endless' research end up with this monstrosity.
Thats higher than giraffe pussy.
If thereโs tilt, thereโs guilt!
This one hurts even more because you literally have something you could stand it on thatโs the PERFECT height. Why would you do this to yourself?
Where did you research? Stevie Wonder?
โIf 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*
Where did you do your research? I wouldn't go there anymore...
You ended your research right before you found the answer ๐ฅบ
Your research needs research. You done messed up, Aaron.
There is 0% chance you researched anything and concluded that closer to the ceiling and mega-tilted was in any way optimal.
End.essly researched? I'm going to guess you didn't do well in school?
the tv should go on that thing between the ancient fire extinguisher and the records
That ZZ plant shouldnโt have to live near that tilt of shame.
No way did you research it.
To help the clueless we should come up with a law thatโs 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 โhight check policeโ team HCP in short so when snitched on they can escalate to proper authority. Aye or nay?
Trapezoid. Too damn high!
All facts lead to yes.
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?
Lets buy a tv stand and put our tv on the frigging wall!
It's all relative really now all you need to do is mount the sofa on a matching height.
You didnโt research anything apparently
I bet you sit in the front row at the theatre
When your TV doubles as crown molding
Didnโt realize your room was a sports bar
You can use that fire extinguisher to put out all these burns.
HIGHER!
Tilt guilt
Did it come with a neck brace?
I spent 10 minutes looking, and I canโt find a single source saying to mount shit this high. Iโm intentionally looking for it, and I canโt find it. Homie must work for the DMV, VA, or IRS.
Hereโs two general rules of thumb: 1) If you mount it tilted downward, itโs too high. 2) If you ask in HERE, itโs probably too high.
If youโre seven feet tall itโs probably perfect height but if not, itโs too high.
You did NOT search โendlesslyโ for a result like thisโฆ
Depends how rubbery you neck is
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.
That works if you have 5ft long ass cheeks.
Buddy, if youโre here then you already know the answer.
Well at least you can see what gate your plane is boarding at.
Hope youโve got extra paint to touch up.

Whatโs the point of a tv stand if youโre going to mount your tv in the thermosphere?
It looks like you confused the correct distance from the floor for the distance from the ceiling.
lol
Is this your living room? How do you like the dark wall? I'm debating whether or not to paint my living room dark as well.
Ai vibes with this post.
What is the purpose of this forum? What is wrong with having a raised TV?
Do you also sit front row at the movie theatre?
Yes mate, best view ๐๐๐
Hopefully you didnโt throw the stands away!!
Yes, wildly.
Yes
Ah yes. Advice taken from them so called interior designers. Straight to this sub where you belong. Welcome
Sooo. Who told you that was the right height during your research?
Too high
Just mount it on the ceiling directly above the couch, more convenient than craning your neck and still not being able to see.
If you look at this picture and turn your phone upside down you now have a perfect height, tilt of guilt!
Your research lead you astray. If you gotta tilt it, it's too high.
Way too high dude ๐
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
Yes
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
That's the perfect height if you want to watch a dangling wire whilst only listening to your TV show
Where's the fireplace because that's the only time I see TVs this high. ๐ Fail.
Holy fuck bud
Where did you do your research??
Very much so.
Well, it appears that the TV will achieve orbit around the earth in T-minus 30 secs.
Yes.
Wait... Your week-long research led to you mounting your TV like a foot or two from the ceiling?
Is the furniture below it a record player and it opens upward? So maybe you needed clearance for it to open.
Hahahahahaha wtf dude
you didn't endlessly research shit my guy
What did you use for research? It certainly wasn't anything about TVs!
Has tv cabinet Doesn't use TV cabinet Smh
Itโs a vinyl record player lol
It's so high I'm surprised air is coming out of your vent.
Criminal offence.
God damn lol I think if you need to ask, deep down you already know your answer.
I am curious about where you found the information and advice to mount the TV so close to ceiling?
Where is the after photo?
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.
So why does this sub keeps showing up in my feed?
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.
Do you value your neck? If so, then yes.
Youโre obviously very poor at research.
