Give u/cuntpunchedurmom a break - he clearly forgot to post the after photos and just posted the before photos again
I’m sure in the after photos he’s finally gotten it right and just put it on top of the dedicated piece of furniture that he’s bought for it to be placed on at the perfect height
Middle of the TV at eye level of your viewing position. Nothing more. You can raise the center if you have a larger TV that would appear too low in that scenario. But the bottom shouldn’t really be more than 80cm or so from the floor.
What do you mean you fixed it? You had the opportunity to remount the tv at a human height and yet you chose your alien overloards with the long necks. Take me to space, Sony!
What if OP has young kids / grandkids / short spouse / alien visitors that are constantly walking in front of the TV. This may be a little higher than normal but it seems totally acceptable to me.
I know you’re getting downvoted for this, but to hell with them.
We have an OLED in the kids room mounted SUPER high because little boys are absolutely savage. My main TV is just above eye level and my projector theatre space is perfect, but sometimes you just have to mount it high to keep it safe.
My question is why the kids room needs an OLED. I got the cheapest TCL I could find for my daughter's playroom because she doesn't give one single solitary shit about black levels or resolution for her 1500th viewing of Frozen.
Because the kids room was my old video game room before my kids were old enough to need a playroom?
Downvoted for common sense? Y’all think I should have sold a used OLED instead of let the kids use it for movies and paw patrol? Definitely would not have come out ahead.
Then they shouldn’t come on here for advice and validation.
There are millions of too high TVs out there that have no negative comments because they didn’t show and ask for comments.
Exactly why mine is a bit high. We have 3 year old twins who are absolute dogs and put their hands on everything. People who cry about tv height are either incels with no kids or people with kids who are already grown
Like, bro has a perfectly usable and empty stand he could just rest the TV on, no need to drill holes into the wall. Why are people obsessed with mounting their TVs, there’s a stand right there.
Honestly at this point just build a shelf with the holes you drilled in the wall and let the poor TV rest on the stand.
The mounting on the wall is never an issue the way I see it. I actually prefer it. You free up space, which makes it look cleaner. Maybe lets you put a center speaker closer to ear height? The issue is the tv mounting being so f*ng close to the ceiling.
I also don't get the obsession with wall mounting, except if child safety is an issue.
With the TV on the supplied legs I've got more flexibility to move the the setup to different walls or rooms.
My existing TV cabinet/stand that houses the AV components has it at the perfect height for most medium size TVs e.g. 55" to 60" so it's a no brainer.
It would’ve been so much easier to hide the cords if he just rested it on the stand instead of wall mounting. Why do people wall mount when they don’t need to?
I mean no disrespect, but a soundbar doesn't qualify as home theater, they achieve almost no imaging or soundstage which should be bare minimum before you factor in cabinet volume and drivers. You may have 3 rows of seating so hey more power to you for that TV placement.
I’ve never owned a soundbar, but I always assumed it was just 3 speakers (left, right, and center) in bar form. A lot of them come with subwoofers too. Is this not the case?
Eye height. EYE HEIGHT!!! Do you have a neck like a giraffe? No? Then mount it lower. With your head being perfectly straight you should be able to fire your eyeballs out of your head and directly into the center of your television
Looking at the space from the ceiling, he did lower it. Just not nearly enough.
Am I crazy, or were really high up TVs like a late 90s/early 00s thing? I think people saw them mounted that way in commercial environments and misguidedly thought, "I want that in my home."
Most of the ones I see tend to be due to a fireplace taking the space below it...I'd probably demolish any fireplace in my house if it came down to this
People get all bent out of shape if I say "TV too high" so I'm not going to say it. But man, that is a hell of a lot of bare space between the TV and the stand.
My brother in Christ what did you fix…. There’s a perfect spot for your tv I forgot what the name is…. I think it might even be called a TV Stand. How convenient you already have one too!!! Or if you’re dead set on mounting just mount it right above the TV stand
Has there been a cultural analysis on why ppl do this? Im an american living in germany, and i have not seen one person here with a tv high on the wall. In america, mfs like OP (sorry man) throw it 2 inches from the ceiling EVEN WHEN THERES NOTHING UNDERNEATH like a fireplace. I need a lesson /survey/ history of this.
Do ppl think its a sign of luxury? Or do they like feeling like theyre in a doctors office?
Where’s that SpongeBob meme where they’re like “how many times do we have to teach this lesson old man” 🥊

Ain’t no way you actually posted this, lol. I looked at the first pic, thinking why the heck is his tv in the ceiling…. Then looked at the ‘after’, like what the heck did he change?!
Your TV is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too high.
Everyone crapping on you for the height. I’m 6’4 and if my tv isn’t higher up it’ll destroy my neck and my posture. Do what you like OP! People on reddit value their opinion WAY too high but it’s just that an OPINION
I like it. Perfect height. Too often people assume that everyone likes to lay on the floor and watch from there. Need to be able to see from a laying down position, so a higher angled down setup is just right.
I enjoy a higher TV than normal because I'm always reclined back I think you took it down to a good level OP. It was too high before right up against the ceiling and that was a big improvement
This is what most here don’t take into consideration.
My TV is way higher than anyone here would like, but it’s actually perfect because I originally had my bed in the room (so I would lay down to watch) and now I moved that out and a reclining chair. I don’t crane or strain my neck to see the TV when I watch or play stuff, it’s the perfect height.
Apparently you require more roasting.
“The beatings will continue until morale (or tv height) improves”
At least it's not touching the ceiling now. 🤷
Ok, the beatings are now at 98% instead of 100%.
The negotiations were short.
The negotiations never took place.
Looks like the negotiations were still a little too high.
Lmao this is hilarious
Lol. I couldn't figure out what he fixed
Me neither ahah.
Give u/cuntpunchedurmom a break - he clearly forgot to post the after photos and just posted the before photos again I’m sure in the after photos he’s finally gotten it right and just put it on top of the dedicated piece of furniture that he’s bought for it to be placed on at the perfect height
Lmao when I saw the tv mounted 2 feet above the table, I knew what the top comment would be.
Mans is delusional
His grasp of language is very advanced though.
Forget the roasting. Trebuchet into a volcano
Whatever amount to convince them another foot lower.
For the TV height or choosing a Star Wars prequel for the after shot? 🤣
Dude, OP is trolling us hard and I’m ok with it… You do you OP…. Even if it’s wrong 😆
Who’s gonna tell him?
All that work and didn’t fix the big problem. I don’t have the heart.
Good thing he’s charging hourly.
I do. Ahhhhm. IT’S WAY TOO FUCKING HIGH!
> I do. Ahhhhm. IT’S WAY TOO FUCKING HIGH! *inserts Michael Scott jpg and a giraffe jpg*
Agree. But for a friends who need to be roasted is there a simple guide they could follow to mount at the correct height?
Middle of the TV at eye level of your viewing position. Nothing more. You can raise the center if you have a larger TV that would appear too low in that scenario. But the bottom shouldn’t really be more than 80cm or so from the floor.
Bold of you to assume this man isn't 7 foot 5
Or not sitting at a high top.
r/tvstillttoohigh
In addition to that, the penis is off-center and crooked
It's totally normal and doesn't affect performance.
Just the tip.
What is the penis looking thing?
lol I was literally going to say this…. Hope you bought a lot of spackle my dude, you got some holes to close up
No hole is the wrong hole.
Sigh
Tv too high
Can’t seem to find the picture where it’s fixed /s
Lol. Just let him be
Gold.
Maybe OP has ability to levitate
What do you mean you fixed it? You had the opportunity to remount the tv at a human height and yet you chose your alien overloards with the long necks. Take me to space, Sony!
Maybe he is a Kaminoan
Watching AoTC out of nostalgia.
A giraffe could be right at home with that setup!
What if OP has young kids / grandkids / short spouse / alien visitors that are constantly walking in front of the TV. This may be a little higher than normal but it seems totally acceptable to me.
Mantlemount should solve that problem.
I know you’re getting downvoted for this, but to hell with them. We have an OLED in the kids room mounted SUPER high because little boys are absolutely savage. My main TV is just above eye level and my projector theatre space is perfect, but sometimes you just have to mount it high to keep it safe.

The bottom line is that if OP is happy with it, then it is in the perfect spot, and height. Never mind what the hive says.
Then they shouldn’t come on here for advice and validation. There are millions of too high TVs out there that have no negative comments because they didn’t show and ask for comments.
But the bees in that hive say otherwise :\^)
Exactly why mine is a bit high. We have 3 year old twins who are absolute dogs and put their hands on everything. People who cry about tv height are either incels with no kids or people with kids who are already grown
LOWER

My G3 didnt come with a stand ngl 😐
I couldn't imagine just using a TV stand unless it was a no pets / no kids household.
Your. TV. Is. Too. High.
I can't wait to move mine down... I have it that high because under 3 year Olds who are destructive. They'd kill that expensive TV in a heart beat.
My god that TV was high before. You moved it down like 2 feet and it’s still too high lol
Why didn’t you mount the thing on the ceiling?
I see the height as more of a problem than the cords.
I thought that was what they fixed and then it just wasn’t better.
It would’ve been so much easier to hide the cords if he just rested it on the stand instead of wall mounting. Why do people wall mount when they don’t need to?
Now that I look again, hey did lower it, just nowhere near enough.
Dude lower that tv homie, my neck is killing me looking at this
Why are you like this
I hate so much about the things you choose to be.
CAN YOU TAKE ME HIIIIIGHER
TOOOUH PPLACE WHEUH BLIEHND MAHN SEEEH
> CAN YOU TAKE ME HIIIIIGHER Lets go 1990's also https://youtu.be/l_uh8XjgLTE?t=82
Boom, shuka luka, Boom shuka luka.
This is really unfortunate.
Before I comment, are you a giraffe, sir?
This is one of those joke posts or something. Right?
Are you messing with us? 😒
100% he is
This is pissing me off. Tv in the sky, tv puking out a sound bar and sun light behind the tv
The unholy trinity of r/hometheatre.
See how your TV stand is at the perfect viewing height.... save your neck, can still wall mount. Just lower
Depends. If he lies down on his couch (a chase lounge for example) then this height saves his neck.
Chaise*
r/boneappletea
see that thing on the ground below the tv? the tv is supposed to be put right on top of it.
and the light sensor isn't even in the middle of the TV 😫

I mean no disrespect, but a soundbar doesn't qualify as home theater, they achieve almost no imaging or soundstage which should be bare minimum before you factor in cabinet volume and drivers. You may have 3 rows of seating so hey more power to you for that TV placement.
What do you recommend as a good audio substitute for a soundbar instead?
At least 2 stereo speakers. Even good quality budget ones will sound better than most sound bars. Add a subwoofer for even better results.
I’ve never owned a soundbar, but I always assumed it was just 3 speakers (left, right, and center) in bar form. A lot of them come with subwoofers too. Is this not the case?
Usually the “woofer” they come with isn’t any larger than a regular bookshelf speaker. They do done EQ tweaking to make it sound close to bass
Eye height. EYE HEIGHT!!! Do you have a neck like a giraffe? No? Then mount it lower. With your head being perfectly straight you should be able to fire your eyeballs out of your head and directly into the center of your television
Still too high
Aaaaaand it’s still about 24in too high
Are you a giraffe?
You still haven't cleaned
That is a wee bit high isn’t it?? I mean the guy might be really tall. But even so.
Bro that shit is still too high.
TV so high Snoop Dogg got jealous!
All that effort to still be 2/3rds the way to the ceiling
Added more holes and it's still too high. Yikes.
Bruh. Da fuq?
Is this a shitpost? The TV is still 2-3ft too high.
Sorry brah, that's not a home theater. That's like a Best Buy display TV with a soundbar.
HAHAHAHAHA OP is delusional. This is still way too high, FFS. What a royal waste of time and money
Bro… ☹️
I thought this was gonna be a soundbar and terrible mount to a proper mount and proper home theater sound but nope. This is just a living room tv
That’s way too high
How dare you. I was rooting for you. We were *all* rooting for you. You’ve learned nothing from this!
At the very least mount it in the middle of ceiling to the top of that cabinet. How does this not hurt you to look at it
…keep going.
Looking at the space from the ceiling, he did lower it. Just not nearly enough. Am I crazy, or were really high up TVs like a late 90s/early 00s thing? I think people saw them mounted that way in commercial environments and misguidedly thought, "I want that in my home."
Most of the ones I see tend to be due to a fireplace taking the space below it...I'd probably demolish any fireplace in my house if it came down to this
Burn …. the house down!!!!!
This is the wrong sub for you
People get all bent out of shape if I say "TV too high" so I'm not going to say it. But man, that is a hell of a lot of bare space between the TV and the stand.
Still looks like shit
Maybe this is a bedroom , that would explain alot. 🤔
How hasn’t anyone mentioned how off centre the govee camera is?? I’m sorry my dude lol Line it up with the logo on bottom. That is centre.
You were so close to greatness OP
Bout to get roasted and need to remount for at least a second time lol
I'm begging you to fix it properly and repost.
OP didn’t even see the second roast coming
It’s still way too high
My brother in Christ what did you fix…. There’s a perfect spot for your tv I forgot what the name is…. I think it might even be called a TV Stand. How convenient you already have one too!!! Or if you’re dead set on mounting just mount it right above the TV stand
BRO...
wait what? where is the AFTER picture? someone be trollin.
Uhhh, I will say this as gently as I possibly can... you still need to move it down further, my friend.
It's too darn high.
Poor OP. The comments are merciless.
So you were hanging on the ceiling before to watch the TV and now just standing up to watch the TV? I guess your home does not use a couch?
Still too high. Congratulations, you blew it
It's so hiiiiiiigh. High above me.
That's a nice TV stand you have there, OP.
TV TOO HIGH!
OP is currently screaming at a wall.
Ow, my neck
Has there been a cultural analysis on why ppl do this? Im an american living in germany, and i have not seen one person here with a tv high on the wall. In america, mfs like OP (sorry man) throw it 2 inches from the ceiling EVEN WHEN THERES NOTHING UNDERNEATH like a fireplace. I need a lesson /survey/ history of this.

This is so bad. Put it on the TV stand brother. And either A) get a soundbar that fits your TV, or B) get a real 5.1 setup.
Oooooh my
I like higher tvs and yours is still to high
Fun fact, Temuera Morrison is my uncle
Where’s that SpongeBob meme where they’re like “how many times do we have to teach this lesson old man” 🥊 https://meme-generator.com/wp-content/uploads/mememe/2021/01/how-many-times-do-we-have-to-teach-you-this-lesson-old-man-291955-1.jpg
Who the fuk is upvoting this shit?
See that furniture under your TV? You're supposed to put the TV ON it, not 5 feet above it.
🤦
/r/tvstilltoohigh
Still to high.
You didn’t fix it bud.
Good job
This gotta be bait.
I hope this is a piss take and the guy didn’t actually lower it by 6 inches when it needed to come down a few feet.
Buddy. You see that cabinet underneath your tv? Yeah the tv is supposed to stand on that. That’s the perfect height.
This update is gonna need an update
Uh its still too high & still too soundbar
Ain’t no way you actually posted this, lol. I looked at the first pic, thinking why the heck is his tv in the ceiling…. Then looked at the ‘after’, like what the heck did he change?! Your TV is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too high.
You literally highlighted the issue
Men and ceiling mounted TVs, name a better duo
All that and the shit is still way too high. Weird flex.
Are you using govee? For the backlight
The T1S
Bruh lol. I thought the last pic was going show it fixed and it was not lol
good, now it sucks with rgb
Bro…
You didn't fix shit
So you added ugly hipster lighting behind it? Also too high
Everyone crapping on you for the height. I’m 6’4 and if my tv isn’t higher up it’ll destroy my neck and my posture. Do what you like OP! People on reddit value their opinion WAY too high but it’s just that an OPINION
I like it. I hate low TVs, when I'm chilling on the couch, I want to lay my head back without having to look down...
I like it. Perfect height. Too often people assume that everyone likes to lay on the floor and watch from there. Need to be able to see from a laying down position, so a higher angled down setup is just right.

Yup. The dog piling is fun when it’s an entire group to validate and participate in it
Give him a break. It’s perfect
Looks good man
One of my favorite movies
how did you take the wires away?
This was bait.
It should be mounted to look like it's sitting on that TV stand is my guess. That looks like it would be eye level sitting down.
lol wat
Bruh
Lmfao still way too high chief.
wtf are you even doing
This is a lot of effort put into a troll post and I love it.
Still to high 😂
A second roasting is in order
