TVs high on walls

How can people watch TV by cricking their necks?

Not a fan on TVs on walls. Esp if they don’t conceal the various cables.

I mean it depends how high you mount them. Last I checked my walls started from the floor

Seen some where they are above a mantle peace and I agree it doesn’t look like a comfortable viewing angle.

Phew, glad you cleared that up. We were all very concerned about your stance towards wall mounted TVs.

I’d have to remove my mantle piece before mounting .

But yeah most TV stands are really low compared to the height people mount TVs

You can angle TV's down and distance is key here. A high mounted really makes no difference if you are at a good distance.

Wow some of those TVs that are "too high" are too low for me by a good 6" lol. People would get so salty at my TV height I feel.

I sit in a very tall chair

Ayahuasca · 27 Jan 2023 at 20:39

I mounted mine above my corner sofa.

I believe cheesefest is of the female variety of human beings.

Ideal height is center of TV screen in line or slightly below eyeline when sitting on sofa IMO. Above fireplaces etc I just find wierd, but maybe you get used to it

He's right though in this case. What is worse than a high TV? Probably one above a fireplace.

Works fine with reclining sofa.

If this thread is serious, then consider the height of a TV unit or a coffee table. Let's make that 50cm to 60cm high, and that's where the TV legs start. Unscrew the legs/stand so that you just have the panel. Measure up where the VESA (or whatever) backet is on the rear of the panel and add 50-60cm to it. Move the panel left/right so it's not in the way of anything. Then start drilling :-)

Yeah I'm total opposite. I need the bottom of TV ti be about eyeline cause I generally laze about on sofa rather than upright sitting position.
