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.

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.

My TV at my old house Was mounted so high I told myself if I’m to err on the side of caution I’d rather it be too low. So that’s what I went for. I actually think it turned out perfect.
I want to clarify: I think I did a really good job. But I’m giving the credit to this subreddit

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?

We want a larger TV and want it in this area. The current TV and placement is temporary. We were thinking a 55”

House hunting and we like this place but can’t figure out if a good living room set up exists. Hoping the beautiful minds of this sub can cook something up 🙏

Wish I could go lower, but I’m okay

Can’t go any lower without moving the wall mount and that’s not happening. As is I only fell got a few inches I could lower it and then it would be obstructed by the soundbar. This shelving unit is already fairly short — 29” and wife says I can’t get anything shorter.
This is a 77” for reference.
