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.

I put this up before I knew this sub existed. Now I wanna lower it

Gf and I are in debate… is this too high? 43 inch Roku tv

How does everyone feel about it

75in Samsung just moved her up today

Antique crt televisions were large, heavy units that were annoyingly low to the ground. With technological advancements, CRTs became compact and suitable for desks and entertainment centers at eye level. After 2009, as LCD screens became widely produced, TVs became lighter and thinner, allowing for wall mounting. For Businesses, this meant TVs can be adjusted in angle and mounted higher, keeping them out of the way. Nowadays, mounting a TV to a wall is very easy to do, and the idea of having a TV completely out of the way of everything, or above a fireplace, is now a reality. After being conditioned to believe the superior height of a TV is atleast 6 feet off the ground, everyone began to overutilize the technology available, ignoring the detrimental effect it causes for the viewer.

I 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.

There is no place else for the TV to go!

What was the biggest secret that a tv show required you to sign an NDA for?

Above the fireplace but my bed is very tall and my bedroom is 24 feet from wall to wall (tv on one wall and bed on the other)

I think it’s perfect since you can see it from any angle in the pool house. Eating in the kitchen or in bed when the Murphy is down.

Found on Zillow, gotta have some neck pain from watching that.
