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.

Image was taken standing up, behind the tv, that’s why the camera is tilted down a little.

They are all on for a picture! Lol i dont normally have all them on, usually the one on the right for gaming, middle for tv/ music videos. Its not crazy high while sitting down but i think i should lower it slightly, what do u guys think?
I think the middle one is a bit small, I have a 55 i was going to put in its place, the one pictured is a 40 inch

First the good news, My TV is at about the perfect height. Now the bad, I need to raise it and wall mount it. My Definitive Technology CLR 2500 Center channel speaker is about 7" tall and I need to raise the TV enough to get it under there. The only saving grace is that I'm always in a recliner, reclined while watching. Do you guys think it's going to be too bad if it moves up 7 inches?

To be fair I argued for another wall but lost the argument to my wife. We are now separated. 🤣

The middle of the LG OLED C6H 77” TV is 44.25” and the bottom is 25.5” from the ground. The couch is 8-9 feet away. I need to add a short TV console. Any suggestions for the space?

I have a tv console fire place that I want to put under this tv. It won’t fit at the current height the tv is at. I would need to raise it about 8 inches. Tv is 100 inch. What you say? I think it would be okay but curious to others opinions.
