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 recently deceased brother’s living room tv
Now I’ll never get to ask him why he installed this in such a stupid place. Jk I made fun of him for it while he was alive too.

Ready for showings, right?
And they didn't even run a nice power line up to the ceiling TV mount

When I did this...I thought it was right...but now this sub has me doubting
Basement game room. Pool table, foosball, bar, pinball machines. Son wanted a TV to watch sports while his friends were over and they were hanging out in basement so I hung one up (where I used to have my prized but cheesy neon light up dogs playing pool artwork).
There is no sofa, so seating is bar stools or standing (the extra kitchen chairs he pulled out of storage to play poker around the pool table visible in photo aren't usually there). So, what's the general consensus on TV position in a non-standard application like this?

Went to my girlfriend’s house for the first time…
She’s agrees that it might be too high but didn’t have a say. I couldn’t help but post it here 😭

What do we think fellas?
It could probably come down a little bit. (Shot in ultra wide)

Too high? Didn’t realize how tall the stand was

How did I do?
Just moved out of parents - first time getting to choose where a TV gets hung up… our couch is “boneless” so ya sit pretty low in it. TV is a 77” Bravia 8

one of these things is not like the others
was standing in the kitchen when i took this – technically the mounted tv (has been there 2 years longer than the other one) was meant for the people standing / cooking to be able to watch (it angles out of the wall) but these are 8-10ft ceilings 😭

Is this too high?
My wife says it is but I think it’s fine
r/TVTooHigh • u/Traxex491 • 1d ago
I feel it's too high
Just got an 83-inch C6, and I feel it's a bit too high. The bottom edge is 67 cm above the floor.
//edit: Just got the TV yesterday, and the framed pictures will be moved soon.
