People love the idea of wall mounted tvs. But they have no will to consider the details.
At least it’s not also over a fireplace.
At least they have an excuse if it's mounted over the fireplace.
What compelled them to mount it so high on an almost blank wall?!
I bet it's excellent in a laid-back recliner
So true (about the details). Really doesn't work retro fitting
Well it's possible to retrofit, you need to be willing to open the wall which is not a bad thing as it allows you to make a frame so you can center the TV exactly where you want it.
I have a TV over the fireplace. Do you think it's too high? To me it feels good.
There's no perspective without floor, but based on the shelves I'd say it's too high. A TV should be at roughly eye level from where you look at it.
While being over a fireplace causes the TV to sit too high, the real concern with that location is heat and particulate matter released from the fireplace.
Okay now show me a fireplace over a TV
I love my TV over my fireplace.
People are weird.
If it works for you that’s great. Every one I’ve experienced is so high up that it is literally a pain in the neck.
I suspect a minority of TVs over fireplaces are rarely used, or just used for utility (news, etc). Those ones are usually the worst ones where you question the sanity of placing it there.
Also, after pondering it more, I also suspect really large TVs up higher with a father back seating position are less of an issue. If you visualize that, the angle of looking up gets shallower the farther back you go.
The cliche of TVs over fireplaces being bad starts with smaller tvs many years ago. I suspect your situation is a reasonable distance back. And your tv is big enough to support that distance.
High enough to be.
That’s true
Indeed. I have my TV on a TV desk and behind it there is a huge mess of cables, all kind of hidden.
On my desk I have:
I use the desk to organise/hide everything. If I didn't have it this would be a horrible mess.
/r/tvtoohigh was a tragic loss to humanity the day Reddit died.
Bro I re-created that sub here a couple months back. Hasn’t caught traction yet
Could we make a new one here on Lemmy?
These kind of ultra niche subs really need a huge audience. I'm afraid contributors would be posting in the dark for a while if it was here.
I have been making contributions to the sub I created. Posts occasionally reach the fp with some upvotes and comments.
I haven’t been active lately tho
Yea. They may belong in a home theater community for the time being?
I re-created it a couple months back. Not too much activity lately tho. I used to self post from random home improvement shows. Couple of posts fp’d.
Couple of people even posted their own.
I haven’t been active lately but I do keep tabs on it
Part of the problem with any community coming over to lemmy would be the moderation. It's hard work and often thankless.
Feel free to x-post to !tvtoohigh@lemmy.world 😀
Damn that’s some god awful placement. Please have Airbnb reimburse mental therapy fees
And physical therapy for the neck pain
The minimalistic cable management is very relaxing :)
A Zen garden of sorts...
With Koible pond
Crazy how it looks like there’s even conduit in place to route the cables in the wall, but they just didn’t even bother.
Looks like power is going through the wall conduit to the power bar up top. The other cables feed in to the box on the shelf under the tv.
Not sure why they're also using the wall outlet on the left though.
Shorter cables and proper cable management would help a bit here.
Because there's a giant brick that would cover half of the strip. I don't get this post, it's not their place so why give any fucks at all?
That cord isnt coming from the brick.
That cord is coming from inside your house.
this picture gave me a neck injury
They didn't even need to put it that high
I love how no one has mentioned the shoddy electrical wiring running along the baseboard. TV is too distracting!
My guess is whoever lived there before had a much larger TV mounted on the wall and then an entertainment center under it for peripherals (hence plugs on the ends down below). Current owner slapped the cheapest/smallest TV they could still mount on the wall thinking it would cover the old cable management setup
100%
Did my father install that television?
Yeah, this is fucked up.
This is why I carry velcro cable ties everywhere
I do too. But I’m a camera operator and also travel with 5 large pelican cases full of gear.
and also travel with 5 large pelicans
That's how I choose to read it and I won't be swaywed from the mental image of you and your waterfowl 😁
I usually get air b and B's for the location not the ambiance but this could be worse. Usually they have pictures before you rent too.
I never really have issues to be honest though. I usually try to pay a little more to find a nice place and if there aren't any I'll just get a hotel. Some cities air b and b is a better option like near a beach or in a historic town where you can get a whole house near somewhere fun. It's ok for cabins too. Hotels are easier and a more convenient experience depending on the company.

You have OCD don't you lol
Yeah I need to touch the stove before bed or my family will die. And I save my pee in jars in case god needs it. If you move my toothpaste I'll spend the day sorting the entire bathroom. But unorganized cables man. totally the worst part of OCD
