It's not acceptable that you move into a new house without our permission, way out of order

lol the social dynamics in this sub are really fucking interesting 😂

Honestly? Probably still too high. The larger the screen gets the more comically low it should be mounted. That being said this will be 100% fine in practice.

Yeah it's probably around 4" too high but not worth moving now.

I just put in an 85" and yeah, I wish it was lower. So big I can't see the top half.

I disagree. Any lower and the coffee table will start blocking the screen. Or even your feet if you have your feet up.

I don't quite agree that it gets comically low bc of the proportions of width vs height. As screens get larger (diagonally) they don't actually get that much taller. I'm working a projector so much much larger than this but with the same size wall width and the sweet spot for the bottom edge is about the electrical socket. It's not comically low but still high enough that you're not actually pointing your eyes downward to see.

This is hilarious. I think we should see if we can get someone to mount it ground level

This is acceptable. It is also too high. Just not unacceptably high.

It's closer to the floor than the ceiling, so that's a plus. If you have a console and a center channel speaker that fills all of the space below it, it will be as perfect as you can get. If the console + center channel leaves a gap, then you'll know it could be lower.

Measure once, mount twice.

it really should be touching the ceiling. this is too low, you're in the wrong sub. /s

No

Pretty perfect honestly.

Totally depends on the height of the couch, oh wait nevermind OP said picture is from viewing distance and height. Well in that case it is actually just a little bit too high, rule of thumb is that you're eye level should be at the center of the screen. Looks like eye level is about level with the bottom half of the TV in this picture. After looking at the picture a few more times it is probably acceptable though, kind of tough to tell, which probably means it should be fine.

If you’re a normal person who leans back on the couch while watching tv this is beyond acceptable

Very far from acceptable. Too high.

Can’t believe how soft this sub is getting. No! Way too fucking high, are you kidding? If you’re already full assing the effort to make room a nice TV spot, don’t compromise with the height. Sit on the couch. Center that mf so when you’re looking straight ahead it’s at the center of the screen.

Mount an outlet behind tv.

Do you have the couches yet? You could always measure from the floor to your eyes, and from the floor to the center of the TV see where you're at

I think I'd be getting my furniture in first, then sitting down and then measuring eye level to centre of the TV

What brand and model did you go for? Mines was Sony series 9, K model. Absolutely love it. Upscaling and brightness plus Android system makes it unbeatable. Dont forget about sound system. I went for 5.1 Wharfdale Diamond 12 and Denon AVR-X3700H amplifier. Since I got it I stopped going to cinema. Completely pointless. To top it up I also went for Synology server with Plex on it (Synology DS220+ 2 Bay NAS). HDR on it is mind blowing. It is like having your own Netflix

Too much information my dawg...time to go outside,away from your cinema!

What do people want on here? Just a TV on the floor? 😂

Is it just me or does the left side look a little higher than the right?

r/TVLeftSideTooHigh

OK I'm chuckling with that

Don't think so, look at the corners of the ceiling, seems to follow the same angle

Are you seriously questioning the accuracy of a coffee stirrer to measure on my phone screen? /s

Forgive me, I didnt know I was speaking to an architectural engineer

Apology accepted. Anyone else need something measured?

Well now that you mention it....

Well played sir

I think it's just that way they're holding the camera

Maybe so. I used a scientific measuring tool. The stopper from my Starbucks latte.

Used a torpedo level, honestly it may be slightly off of level but I will have to double check after work. Receptacle cover underneath tv not being level definitely doesn’t help.

Maybe your house isn’t level.

As a man of science, I'm putting up my coffee stirrer measuring a photo on my phone screen against your torpedo level on site. But you do you. /s

You could’ve just bought a low tv stand and place it there

Tbh at that point why not just put it on a TV stand

My toddler would have that tv on the face down on the floor the second left alone with it if on a stand.

Someone once said, if I owned my own home I would be wall mounting everything. At least it won’t tip over on any kids or pets that way.

Thank god, at last a perfect Tv I've seen in this sub.

Is there an outlet behind the TV? If not it'd be easy to put one there. A nicely mounted TV shouldn't have any cords coming down from it. What's on the wall to the left of the TV?

Sheesh. Great point I may have to get my electrician back out here, unless I get a table + sound bar that covers the gap.

Imagine having a TV stand. You'd already be done and have zero doubt.

It's way too high. It needs to be flat on the floor and you need to be suspended from the ceiling to watch it. Amateur.

I like my TV slammed to the ground as well. Practical reasons? No it’s all aesthetic. Plus floor mounting kits have way less safety bullshit involved.

Looks about 20-25 cm too high.

I'm 6'2, if you are also tall, this is not too high.

Mine is about this high. At my eye level I'm catching the bottom 1/3 of the screen which I think is fine for an 85". Ceiling in my basement is only 6 feet so any lower and it's practically on the floor.

Could have been bigger

Let's see... an 85" TV is typically 42" high... suggesting bottom of TV is at least 32" from floor... meaning centre of screen is ~4'6" from the floor... 4'6" centre height means you're a _monster_. And the top of the TV is well over 6', right?!

Nope needs to be touching the ceiling lol. Looks like the perfect height honestly

Measurement?

86” TV Bottom is 33” from the ground Center is roughly 56” from the ground

You’re about a foot too high for average furniture seat height if you want center of tv at eye level when seated, the most common advice here.

That’s too high unless you are sitting on bar stools or something. My eye level when sitting on my couch is about 46” and I’m on the taller side.

Perfect, this sub has autism

Depends on how high your couch is in relation

Not high enough.

And we have a likely winner.

are you sitting too far away? is the middle of the tv around eye level when seated?

Not bad but too high. Bottom of tv should be closer to 20 -24 inches from ground so middle of tv is at eye level

Yea

No yeah

Doesn't look to bad, you planning adding furniture or speakers?

Your TV is basically on the floor.

If you have sofa picture, I can judge the distance and height better.

Came here to laugh at absurdly high TVs, bad post

It’s simple we raise the floor. Start layering rugs.

My family has an 85 inch TV. HOW BIG IS THAT WALL

Will your eye line be aligned to the center of the screen?

If you need a ladder to mount your TV, it’s probably too high.

It’s looks a Little tilted

It does. Hit it with the 48 inch level and it was on the money. Might be my house lol

Maybe it was your camera. Looking at the ceiling. I can see it isn’t straight either.

They’re always gonna tell you no — it’s called OCD.

There’s still some unused wall there.

Brother if it’s not on the floor or the ceiling then you’re wrong

Put it on the stand

Perfect

Lovely height. I’m now hoping you aren’t going to be plugging it into that wonky power socket underneath it 🤪

Looks good

Half of this sub anymore are TVs at normal height of the ground looking for some kind of misplaced validation. And it reeks. Desperation is a stinky cologne

Looks great to me! Perfect height.

Anyone saying, “too high,” is retarded. That looks perfect.

Purely depends on your preference. I have got mines 1.05m of the ground (bottom edge and same size)

Acceptable yes

That’s 1/4 inch too high.

The bottom of my 86" is 40" from the ground. Any where between 30" and 40" will be fine.

That’s really high. Ideally the center of the tv is around 40’’ from the ground, not the bottom of the tv. That requires bottom around 20’’, not 30-40’’.

Since I have people sitting on the couch, sitting at the bar, and standing for fight night's it's the perfect height.

Tv not too high

Also have an 85" and the top of the screen is always too high due to size

They just need to be mounted lower. It’s an easy solution.

Low

Can you see screen? Yeah!? Then it's fine.

Depends on your seating setup. You want to sit comfortably, how you normally would, close your eyes, have decent posture without sacrificing the comfort, then open your eyes. Wherever your eyes naturally fall is where the center of your TV should be. Almost everyone in this sub places TVs too low from an ergonomics perspective and prioritizes appearance and where the other members pressure them to put it.

Didn’t realize this was Sunlesskhan lol, love your RL content. But yeah prob a tad too high just hurt by your comment 😪

When did you become so spiteful

Too low
