r/TVTooHigh

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.
