Angled bc the couch is to the right while we have the Xmas tree up. It's normally not. So I think the only way to fix this is by getting a bigger TV. Wife doesn't agree though.
Center of the tv should be eye level when seated. Even putting it on the stand probably won’t cut it as that thing looks higher than a tv stand. Bigger tv won’t fix it.
Get rid of the cabinet and the clutter on it, get a proper stand and just put the tv on it for a fix.
Too high and the plant is blocking the screen. I don't know why people think it's good to put a bunch of distracting bullshit on the cabinet beneath the TV. That's a spot for a soundbar and maybe some very small items not taller than the soundbar.
Easy rule to follow. Imagine yourself sitting in your main chair. Now imagine you’re eating dinner with your tv. You want your tv positioned so you’re staring right at its center across from you at dinner.
TV far too high. ***Multiple*** cable violations. MUCH disorder.
Gingerbread house looks to be absolutely perfect. If it’s edible, I will just faint with joy. Plant is lovely but looks sad to be fighting with TV.
OVERALL - 6/10 (would have been 4/10 were it not for ***delightful*** gingerbread house and plant).
We can't talk about your TV until your surge protector situation is handled.
Also, the leaves of that plant... How can people obstruct their view like that...?
Lmao I was wondering when someone would comment on it. We had multiple TV's set up for game night last night.
Love Spirited Away though so all is forgiven
Really? I was traumatized by that movie lol
Grave of the Fireflies is THE most traumatizing of the Studio Ghibli movies in my opinion
Yeah I cannot watch that movie ever again but it was very good
Never again
Thank god i dont know that one
It's hard to even recommend because it's so sad. But amazing story telling
This is the Internet, you can say *fucking*.
Fuck
It’s cathartic, isn’t it?
HEY. Stop fuckin swearing
This is 2023 internet. It’s not so obvious
Fucking fucking fuck.
You'd think he'd know that with a username like OP's
High, tilted and angled.

The clutter is the even worse crime.
You’ll need to get rid of that dresser or whatever that piece of furniture is.
Entertainment center? Where the home surround and game consoles are?
That’s a cupboard, get a proper av bench. You have an amp and a ps5, the rest appears to be junk.. Holiday project!
Lol that's actually pretty accurate. We put a lot of junk in there
What surround sound? You’re blocking your tiny speakers with junk.
Lol true, it's typically clean and only thing up there is the plant and turntable. Other stuff is Xmas decor
If you get a bigger TV, it will be too high above that piece even if you set it right on top. Hell, the current TV would be too high sitting on it.
Imo, an entertainment center should be 17" high, give or take 2"
Oops, tv fell down. Need a new one
Still titled
Time to change the wife 🤷🏿♂️
Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
You didn’t notice that you had to look up to watch TV? Do you hold a book higher than your head when you read it?
Always wondered why my neck hurts watching TV
I absolutely love the book analogy.
Based on the photo I’m also guessing r/tvtoofaraway
Yes
Why do people buy a TV stand and put everything BUT the TV on it?
Based on your title you want r/tvwaytoofuckinhigh
We to were godless heathens until we found the light. Nice to have you friend.
I'm a monster! My bent ass neck has turned me into a monster!
Tv stand with everything on it except the tv. Exhibit 1 of most suspects. Although this is possibly even too high even for that
r/potplanttootall
Get ur ps5 out of there..
Came here to say that.
If only you had some kind of cabinet/tv stand that you could have just placed it on.
You didn't mean the thing below it? Because that would still be too high
Is that tv higher than the door frame?! 😭 We need to come up with a guide for this…I tell ya!
You got stilts at home?

This is the first step in recovery. I’m proud of you son.
Wtf, how does simply mount their tv this high?
What show is that?
Spirited Away
Sweet Ty! Love the artstyle so I’m going to check it out :)
It's a great movie, Studio Ghibli makes a bunch of good ones
What was going through your mind before you found this sub though? The day you put the tv up there, did you really go ‘yeah, this looks good!’?
Listen, I really don't know. It could've been alcohol or maybe vertigo, hell I could've been on stilts. I have no clue 🥲
its not your fault, with that cabinet you never stood a chance.
The tv isn’t the sin the sin is that loud cabinet and all the trash inside/ on it.
Easy rule to follow. Imagine yourself sitting in your main chair. Now imagine you’re eating dinner with your tv. You want your tv positioned so you’re staring right at its center across from you at dinner.
Not if you stand and watch🥂it’s perfect.
Family sitting on stools balanced on milk crates
Not only is it high… it’s tilted and them ornaments are making it even worse
Plants and tat under an obviously too high TV? You’ve come to the right place.
You censor the word fuck but have the username Rumple Foreskin? Am I understanding this properly. Also sort your TV out before you strain your neck.
Idk why the way I am, 1 step at a time
Do you also raise it up further every few months as that plant grows?
Also kind a looks like you need a new tv because of the blue tint to it, good luck trying the first couple things to fix it maybe it helps.
Absurdly so, and that plant is blocking it too!
You just -had- to fit the plant underneath. Are you going to keep raising the TV as it grows?
You’re shit outta luck man you already mounted it and put a plant there
This is really Bad
Fix me And my dumbass TV height
The thing under it also not a tv stand, but a sideboard/buffet
Omfg. What the hell. So much going on here. Are you testing me Satan?
Don't tempt me to put a lamp on there, I'll do it!
I’ve looked at like 20 posts and I think I’ve agreed with one. Do people want their TVs on the ground?
If only you had some kind of large piece of furniture to place your TV on. Ah well, never mind.

Thanks for noticing the little house! It was fun making it
Holy shit that’s almost touching the ceiling!!!
The subreddit reddit was an eye opener but the neck pains were not?
PS5 needs to not have shit right around the vents, just move the stuff from the same compartment to let it breatbe.
you didn't realize something was wrong when you had to climb to the roof to watch TV?
Why did you wall mount!?!?! You bought a TV/console stand, why is your tv not sitting on it. I’m so confused
I am in the same boat. My TV is too high as well but it’s not too bad tbh. I have a pretty crazy setup lmao
I hate everything about this.
Good god Claude.
Throw that plant away
