Had my 83 inch C5 OLED mounted today, it’s pretty perfect for my seating position

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.

My brother is making me post in this forum. I just moved in with my roommates and decided to place the TV here. What do you guys think? I think my brother is wrong.

Need advice on lowering my setup

115” TCL QM7K (about 220 lbs) sitting on an 18” high console. From my couch, my eye level is ~40”, but the center of the TV sits around 47–48”. I’m getting some minor neck strain looking up at it.
Finding a low-profile stand (around 11–12” tall, 18” deep, wide enough for this TV) that can handle the weight has been impossible, and I really don’t want to wall mount something this heavy.
Does this look too high to you? And does anyone have recommendations for sturdy, low-profile stands that could work with a TV this size?
Thanks in advance.

Soon as I walk into my buddy’s new man cave he asks “is the TV too high”… so at least he knew he committed a crime against comfortable football watching 🫠

It feels like a social experiment at this point.

My friend has been hyping up his new tv for about a month. Haven’t seen it yet until now. No downward tilt but it’s oddly tilted to the left. What we thinking (pic is at a seated eye level)

Feels like the tv is too high slightly...despite being on a stand?

Moved to a new room and ever so slightly it feels higher, my eyes are about lower third, odd because I used to be able to watch it laying down in bed more easier?
Maybe i just am getting used to it?
Also do you think a 65 inch would be better? Seems weird as its slightly further away in this house, its about 2.4m away rather than previous 1.9 meters , I could move it closer but then its in the middle of the room aha

I was assaulted on Facebook in an Aldi group, so I'm spreading it to you.
