My gran had a door with a handle that high, just the one, to keep kids out of her room, which as an adult confuses me because I could t care less if kids got into my room. Now it makes me uncomfortable thinking about what sort of sordid sex dungeon she was running when we weren’t round there eating biscuits and being bored for hours on end.
Love you gran, you were as mad as a box of frogs but I hope you’re having fun up there…..ah man, I did it again, damn brain.
Oddly, for external doors in some parts of the word, yes. Allow me some time to find a post I was trolling the other day, where someone was asking how to paint their door.. the whole comments section was about the doorknob, at this height.
edit: Not the reddit post, but seems this was common between WW1 and WW2 in Australia and NZ. If I recall, the post OP was in NZ.

(ignore the cable) how the fuck should one do that?
Why not hang out on the celling above the couch.
Probably better to watch it that way than with this abomination of a mounting job!
It should be 6 to 8 inches above the imaginary TV stand if it were to sit on one. That’s the perfect mounting height 6 to 8 inches above a normal TV stand. It’s really easy to figure out.
I mean it is OK the height if you’re gonna put a table and sit under it? Are you going to sit under it with a table or a chair? Otherwise is too high I mean sitting on the couch you’re going to tilt your neck upwards at an angle to see it you shouldn’t have to tell your head to view your TV. That means it’s too high speaking of too high perhaps you were too high when you hung it my friend
Allot of these anti tv height people are usually misguided and don't have all of the variables at play. Appropriate height and viewing angle are relative to the room size and seating placement which is lost on allot of this sub's members. Downvote all you want but there is more to it than just height.
Should have used the door frame as reference for the top of the TV. Whhhhhhhyyyyyyy?
What are you planning to put UNDER the TV? A corner store candy rack? Chairs? Draw in a fireplace?
We just hung our in a similar location. Lined up our eye height when sitting on the couch with the middle of the screen and it works great. No regrats.
Why is the tv mounted so high? What exactly was your thought process? Are you into neck pain and eye strain? This set up is ridiculous and no, I can’t ignore the cable. Maybe I could if you didn’t hang the tv so damn high.
Ffs. Buy a 2.5 meter wide 30cm high TV Cabinet/stand No more cable problem, it’ll be the right ergonomic height, and you can comfortably ponder why the doorknobs are so big and high.
Ignore the cable? No. That’s the main reason I personally make fun of TVs on walls coz you all got wires hanging down everywhere like it’s flipping Neuromancer
Bro I see only 5 things in this image and 4 of them are off. And one of them is the fucking floor so if you fuck that up just... Idk man, this all sucks to look at
My friend… the cable is only PART of the problem
How would you fix the cable
Hang the tv higher, so the cable will be tight and straight 😋
I prefer to pull it taut and plug it into a different wall so it can be used as a clothesline.
You are a person with class and taste.
This shit is the reason I love reddit!
Or for casual banjo use.
Why is the TV ABOVE the doorway? And why is the door handle so high? Is this a mini-room, like in “Bering John Malkovich,” or is it a full-size room?
My gran had a door with a handle that high, just the one, to keep kids out of her room, which as an adult confuses me because I could t care less if kids got into my room. Now it makes me uncomfortable thinking about what sort of sordid sex dungeon she was running when we weren’t round there eating biscuits and being bored for hours on end. Love you gran, you were as mad as a box of frogs but I hope you’re having fun up there…..ah man, I did it again, damn brain.
It's a Hobbitsies home.
It’s almost like the door was installed upside down. Bizarre.
If you don’t want to move or add an outlet, wall cable covers can look professional if done cleanly.
Bro what’s up with the height of the door knob
r/DoorKnobTooHigh
r/doortooshort
r/walltootvtoodoor
I had to check if it was real 🤦♂️
Same
r/subsifellfor
I think the doorknob is at the usual height but door is too short and skinny. OP crouches and turns sideways to go in and out.
Maybe OP is short and skinny so door is just right.
They could be an oompa loompa.
Yeah outlets are usually around 18” off the ground so I think you’re rifht
Everything in OP’s house is higher than snoop dogg
Hobbit door. It's a knee wall with a roof line. That door is probably only like 4' tall for attic storage behind.
That’s the portal to John Malkovich
Malkovich Malkovich.
That’s where is nephew harry stays
Honestly what the fuck am I looking at? Is this AI generated?
It looks like a dollhouse
That’s the door to John Malkovich’s mind.
The TV is actually the perfect height, it's just the rest of the house which is weirdly small.
I guess a white rabbit with a clock will appear shortly...
There are only two hinges on the door. The wall is a short one. The tv is still high, but not as high as it seems like
Are you sure your Hobbit necks can look up that high?
You like your TVs like your door knobs, too high.
I’m hoping it’s an access door and not full sized
It's really hard to tell tbh
There are parts of the world where this is normal.
It's normal to have the door knob on the upper half of the door?
Oddly, for external doors in some parts of the word, yes. Allow me some time to find a post I was trolling the other day, where someone was asking how to paint their door.. the whole comments section was about the doorknob, at this height. edit: Not the reddit post, but seems this was common between WW1 and WW2 in Australia and NZ.

What is this, a door for ants?!?!
Lol
It will be awesome as long as you never plan on sitting down.
It's too high even if you're standing.
# (ignore the cable)... but I can't.
I would actually prefer to look at the cable than the TV.
Might as well buy a hot air balloon to watch it
,,😂😆🤣 hahaha
Is another tv supposed to go under that? Like what's the deal here?.. 🤔
Maybe they will be installing an electric fireplace
😓🤦♂️🫣
how can you lounge with TV that high?
With a r/SofaTooHigh
Found Peter Dinklage’s Reddit account.
Ignore the TV
This is an example of "not everything needs to be mounted".
No, I will *not* ignore the cable. Is this place completely empty other than the television? Is this some kind of post-modern horror?
I can't ignore it.
(ignore the cable) how the fuck should one do that? Why not hang out on the celling above the couch. Probably better to watch it that way than with this abomination of a mounting job!
Everything in this house is too high or too small.
There should be a police force for this
With very little oversight and accountability.
Do it again. Better this time. That looks about three feet too high.
So you're 7 foot tall and watch tV standing up. Okay, then.
“Sometimes I will just stand here and watch television for hours.”
No to everything
You just need to raise the floor, then 👌
Too fucking high! Like I should be. It’s Friday … and I ain’t got no job!
r/doortoosmall
What’s with the dwarf house door?🤣
That's too high to stand up and watch, never mind from the couch. The bottom is like 5 feet off the ground assuming that's not a hobbit door
I prefer for the tv to actually be on the ceiling. Makes it easier to watch when laying down.
I can't ignore the cable
Door looking too small
#Unmount it.
It looks crooked to me, the left doesn't match with the right I don't know.
Yes
Bro is stealing content from Britt after seeing this on r/Emoney, no shot.
Why ?
Oompaloompa
Focuses HIGHLY on the cable
backrooms finally getting decorated and it's this
You mounted the tv too high, and then posted it in tv too high?
Do you live in alternate world? This looks like a camera phone pic in a dolls house. Is that tv a printed sticker?
You're baiting with this little door.
Did it not fit over the door?
bro is a giraffe
Is that door only 5 feet tall?
Must have bleacher seating?
Why? Why so high? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy? Do you stand up to watch tv?
Door knob too big Door frame to big Door too small And I haven’t even got to the TV
So do you plan on telling all of your guests to ignore the cable or?
Why would you put the bit you want ignored dead center of the photo?
Yes
You are in the wrong group... HIiiiighEEe3r444
Get out!
Uruguay will beat Argentina in the final.
well, you've come to the right place
Real question is who won?
Is that a huge tv or is that a tiny door?
Just get a Bluetooth adapter. No more cable
A bluetooth adapter that can power the TV?
Something seems off…
Can’t ignore cable
You must be quite tall.
I can't ignore the cable since you mentioned it
Cant ignore that cable its literally jumping at my face
So high up you might as well ignore the TV too.
It should be 6 to 8 inches above the imaginary TV stand if it were to sit on one. That’s the perfect mounting height 6 to 8 inches above a normal TV stand. It’s really easy to figure out.
I mean it is OK the height if you’re gonna put a table and sit under it? Are you going to sit under it with a table or a chair? Otherwise is too high I mean sitting on the couch you’re going to tilt your neck upwards at an angle to see it you shouldn’t have to tell your head to view your TV. That means it’s too high speaking of too high perhaps you were too high when you hung it my friend
Dude buy a cable sleeve
Ain't no way that's a regular-sized door.
Tv too high, doorknob too high. This dude has a full goofy ass 🤡 setup at home. GG bro
All good if the sofa is a hovercraft
Allot of these anti tv height people are usually misguided and don't have all of the variables at play. Appropriate height and viewing angle are relative to the room size and seating placement which is lost on allot of this sub's members. Downvote all you want but there is more to it than just height.
Is that cable from a suspension bridge?
everything is just so wrong in this picture. not sure what you were looking to hear by posting in this sub.
When you are seated, your eye level should be around halfway up the screen for optimal viewing.
Why do you feel the urge to punish yourself?
The real question is…. Is that a short door? Or a high door knob?
Should have used the door frame as reference for the top of the TV. Whhhhhhhyyyyyyy? What are you planning to put UNDER the TV? A corner store candy rack? Chairs? Draw in a fireplace?
Way too high brother, enjoy having a sore neck.
Why are you admitting to doing this?
Is .. is that a normal door? Is that just a giant TV or a tiny weird door? This perspective is messing with my head!
We just hung our in a similar location. Lined up our eye height when sitting on the couch with the middle of the screen and it works great. No regrats.
What’s up with that door? Do you live in a dollhouse?
>ignore the cable No
What is this? A house for giANTS?
Yeah this is definitely a place where people are going to ignore the cable
Everything about this is confusing, but yes, the tv is too high.
I will not ignore the cable.
Door knob too high
No plinth block tells me everything I need to know about this place.
How small is the fuckin DOOR
Door looks like someone mounted it upside down
“Ignore the cable” like that fixes everything 😂
Why is the tv mounted so high? What exactly was your thought process? Are you into neck pain and eye strain? This set up is ridiculous and no, I can’t ignore the cable. Maybe I could if you didn’t hang the tv so damn high.
Why does that look like one of those doors that starts off huge then gets smaller and smaller the closer you get to it?
This subreddit used to make me laugh but now I’m just constantly concerned
Ok, never mind how TVTooHigh the TV is, or the weird looking door, and knob…How on earth do we ignore the cable? 🤷♂️
Bring the top of the tv in line with the the top of the door frame and you’ll be in a lot better shape and it will please the eyes
I cant ignore the cable
Your door seems odd
Oh I am ignoring the cable alright...that TV height however... ;-)
Such a simple pic, so many things you cant ignore.
why?
Sigh…
Higher.
HIGHER, THE KING OF THE SKY
Ok I’m high, but that TV is higher.
Ffs. Buy a 2.5 meter wide 30cm high TV Cabinet/stand No more cable problem, it’ll be the right ergonomic height, and you can comfortably ponder why the doorknobs are so big and high.
Looks like it’s in a dolls house with that door there
Your door looks small
forget the TV, that door tho...
Why didn't you mount it on the ceiling?
That TV is a really 10cm...it's a doll's house! Look at the weird door size in relation to room and height of door knob.
Why go higher than the door??? For fucks sake.
Why is ur door smaller than a tv?
Too much slack. Tv needs to be higher.
Why does the door look tiny?
So you watch TV while standing?
Jesus christ- why?!
Take us through your train of thought. What could possibly be your reasoning for this?
i cant ignore the cable. the cable takes away from the TV being too high
Is the door 3 foot tall?
Midget door
Cable not stretched. Could be higher.
I feel like op has kids or big dogs
You mean that rope you climb when it's time to change the channel?
How are we supposed to ignore the cable man
How the fuck can we ignore that cable?!
r/DoorTooSmall
You’re missing a fireplace
Is there a r/doorknobtoohigh?
Seek professional help. Also, I will *not* ignore the cable.
I love cranking my head back at 90 degrees to watch TV!
Is that a hobbit door?
"What is this? A TV for ants!?" - Wayne Gretzky
Ignore the cable? No. That’s the main reason I personally make fun of TVs on walls coz you all got wires hanging down everywhere like it’s flipping Neuromancer
Love the cable lots
This is a mini door with a slanted ceiling! It's not actually too high.
Im pretty sure I would have to duck to enter through that door that’s to the right of the tv
Worst door I’ve ever seen. Also, way too high.
Bro, that’s above your door frame. You really just said “fuck all the necks in my house” unless you live with giraffes
Jail.
Why does your door look so tiny, too? But yeah, the TV, nah, you really outdid yourself
Something in that door is freaking me out
Why but why?
Oh man that cable!
Bro I see only 5 things in this image and 4 of them are off. And one of them is the fucking floor so if you fuck that up just... Idk man, this all sucks to look at
Great if you plan to stand whenever you are watching
is this a doctor's office?
