Generally accepted TV placement procedures. Quick reference guide.
Lots of people posting lately asking “Is this too high?” so here is a quick guide on what is generally accepted TV placement procedure (GATPP) as seemingly defined by this subreddit.
- If the TV is above the fireplace, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is mounted to the wall above a TV stand, and the clearance between the stand and TV is equal to, or greater than ONE vertical PS5, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH.
Now let’s look at some opposite GATPP use cases.
- If the TV is in a bedroom and meant to be viewed from the bed, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV’s only viewing position is in the reclined state, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If you are at a sports bar, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is at eye level when sitting down, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is in the kitchen it is more for listening, mounted high as to avoid any splashes or spills, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is purposely mounted higher to keep out of range of a toddler, you’re a parent so your neck already hurts and IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
I hope this helps clear up some questions. If you have any other rules to add, please comment below.

If it was a 55" I'd put it higher
If it was a 55" I'd mount it higher. You guys are too strict. It's an 85" and the height is the middle ground between direct eye level sitting and direct eye level sitting with neck relaxed/head resting on couch back. That's my opinion of how high a TV should be in living room.

gallerySo I mounted this 85 incher in our new home and according to my folks it needs to be higher. Apparently the bottom of the tv has be level with the window sills 🤔
What you guys think?

What do you think about the height of my TV? The level of my eyes is slightly below the middle of the screen.

Am I just screwed?
galleryI can’t think of a better place for the tv, the architect probably doesn’t know about this subreddit… Maybe the corner beside the mantle, but that’s a horrible viewing angle from that side of the couch.
