TVs high on walls

[413x]

I have our TV on the wall but looked up best practice for placement of it and measured distance from sofa, height of seat and then placed the TV just slightly above what it would have been if on the supplied stand.

Though, yes I have seen some people places TVs up too high and wonder how they don't suffer from stiff necks.

Like the style of this. Really nice (especially the plants!)

Mine is in the unit. Its a glass plasma. And too small and heavy to go on the wall.

Nice setup, my partner didn't want us to have separate speakers, so I got a decent soundbar for music and movies.

I do like the shelves on the left and the plants.

Its a bit busy. I need to tidy up under the unit. Ideally wanted to put the centre speaker in the unit but it sounded too low.
I need to change that ugly basket!

Next TV will go on the wall.
I love plants and really, would love to have a wall! Some of them are quite pricey!


A lot of people don't like separates. And I get it. But I like the look. As long as they look good (and have to say MA speakers always look good!) but trailing the cables around for the rears is annoying!

I'm with you Cheesefest and a moan I can empathise with.
If I want to upset the wife I just say I'm thinking of putting a 65" above the fire surround.
Personally I don't like them up there and prefer the eyeline when I'm sitting on the sofa.
When I go the pub to watch a match I have to stand up because they're always mounted high.

I set mine up so the bottom of the TV is just above our feet (the plane of our feet at least) when we are fully reclined.

Our reclining settee is one of the best things we have ever bought and my TV is basically setup the same.

Wall mounted (but only because the legs wouldn't sit on the cabinet) so mounted at the height it would have been if it was sat in the cabinet

What if it the choice is wall mounting too high or a corner sofa?

I remember seeing a property listing where the tv was on the bannisters in the lounge. With one of the corners sticking out like this one https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/540502392751335001/ so could damage the tv from catching it.

Yet they could put the set on the other side of the lounge.

Nothing worse than a TV mounted on a wall...I like a good cabinet.

See I'm the other way around, cabinets just encourage clutter and are dust traps.

100%. The less furniture the better. Especially if you have a wife that's prone to hording!

Looks very serene and that reminds me to get the F&M basket down from the loft

Now you just need to replace the Amazon Show 15 with a proper sized TV.

Mine is actually a bit too high. No cables though.

Empty shelf at irregular height = check

TV cabinet no longer useful but still in room for some reason = check

Dog has died = che- wtf hang on a minute

I find wall mounted televisions very council estate.
Normally done by people who occupy a badly put together new build, have leased cars along the lines of a RangeRover Evoque, and holiday repeatedly to the same place in Spain on a budget airline carrier.

How very sweeping of you. And lol bringing social class into how one chooses to set up their televisions in their homes!

I know right, almost as bad as double posting

Still trying to sell the ******* and had nowhere else to put it

As for the shelves, I hadn't moved things back in place (after decorating) when I took the picture.
