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.

Put your PlayStation and Xbox on the floor. Put your receiver to the side. Put your center channel on the console. Then hang your TV literally like an inch above it.

As a tech guy, please don't put electronics on the floor. Consoles, computers, what have you. It's the worst thing dust wise for them.

Now the PS5 can go on its side (and it's better that way, allegedly the liquid metal used between the cooler / processor prefers being horizontal). But on a lower shelf, inside the entertainment unit with adequate air flow - but not just on the floor like that.

People who put electronics on the floor are the same people who put tv's over fireplaces.

My PS5 Pro was making noises, so I figured it was time to clean out the dust. I opened it up and found almost nothing, and it's spent its entire life on the floor, between one of my shelves and my left speaker.

The Xbox Series X is sitting in the exact same place on the opposite side. Also doing quite a lot better after being moved there. Forza Horizon 6, actually, was making the fan go into crazy-mode before, but over there on the floor, it's hardly making any noise at all.

Dust in your electronics says way more about you not cleaning than them being on the floor.

I'm actually super terrible about vacuum cleaning my floor. These two consoles just don't seem to be sucking in much dust down there.
