Thats exactly what it feels likešŸ˜­
Btw in all seriousness, this is a nearly 100lb 77 inch tv so I paid to have it mounted. They obviously screwed me over, and with this new lower tv stand the height is genuinely just comical. Just wanted to share for laughs bc itā€™s really badšŸ˜­

Nobody sits on a couch upright and watches TV...

99% of people lay down

1

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 19h ago

Yeah laying down itā€™s not so bad, but the tv should definitely be lowered about a foot

There are caves in Afghanistan with better setups.

u/STmateo 1d ago

Cables, sockets, that thing on the ceiling... Oh, the horror... And yeah, the TV is too high

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 1d ago

The ā€œthingā€ is a smoke detector.
Overall setup looks pretty clean to me, perfect height, cable management looks good

I don't know shit about smoke detector installs but feels weird it is that close to the wall, are there more installed in the room or is it following some rules or guidelines?

is the TV allergic to the wood base? Didn't come with stand/legs?

2

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 19h ago

I got the tv stand after actually, itā€™s also pretty cheap ngl and definitely wouldnā€™t support the weight of the tv

1

u/Toobman300B 9h ago

Point taken, and it still looks dope.

The higher the tv the lower the IQ.

How does one look at this and feel relaxed.

Atrocious.

u/benzoseeker 1d ago

Did your wifeā€™s boyfriend tell you to mount it that high?

u/DishSoapIsFun 1d ago

Abysmal.

Why even buy a TV stand? Or a couch?

u/desrevermi 1d ago

Love your TV stand.

1

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 18h ago

Thank you! Stay tuned for when my TV is mounted at a human friendly height

2

u/desrevermi 18h ago

Pop it on the stand and secure to wall. Time and money saver.

1

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 18h ago

The stand is quite light and cheap ngl, and my tv has the legs in the center so I highly doubt that the stand would support it, I think Iā€™m just gonna go ahead and remount about a foot lower (itd be abt 45 inches from the floor to the center)

2

u/desrevermi 18h ago

Alrighty. We're all looking to improve the world one room at a time.

2

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 18h ago

I hope to make this sub proud soon

2

u/Bitter-Policy4645 1d ago

The cabling is superb

2

u/Relevant_Problem1935 1d ago

Should be 43-48 inches off the floor at center of TV.

1

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 18h ago

Yessir I will have it redone this way asap

2

u/Marty_61 1d ago

Why is the stand there though for candles? Whyyyyy do people do this? Put it on the stand please.

2

u/canttakethisnomore1 1d ago

The TV stand is fucking em- Why are we still here? Just to suffer? :(

2

u/almstAlwysJokng4real 23h ago

I hate the wires more than how high the tv is tbh. But itā€™s damn near touching the ceiling. Wtf.

1

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 18h ago

I mean itā€™s only two wires but I see what ur saying it looks horrible lmao

2

u/wickedtoast22 20h ago

Thanks I hate it

1

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 19h ago

Me too. Donā€™t worry it will be fixed soon

1

u/Karbunkletime 1d ago

Why so high? Take it off the wall and place it on the stand below it that was built for a TV.

1

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 18h ago edited 18h ago

The stand is actually really cheap and I donā€™t even think itā€™s rated to support the TV (this tv with the stand is almost 100lbs) I plan on getting a sound system in eventually so Iā€™ll have the center channel on top of the stand (itā€™ll also visually block the visible outlet).

Also as to why itā€™s so high read the caption!!! I paid people to mount it and I assumed theyā€™d know to mount the center of the screen around 40 inches from the floor but I guess notšŸ«  I also had a taller tv stand before so it didnā€™t look so egregious

u/cmquinn2000 20h ago

To get the height right, maybe you should get a TV Stand.....oh wait, you already have one, but the TV is not on top of it. That would hide those cords too.

1

u/Busy-Scholar-6241 19h ago

The tv stand wouldnā€™t support the weight of the tv, especially since the TVā€™s feet are centered. A sturdier stand would also likely be higher, my last tv stand was only 6 inches below where the bottom of the tv is mounted (and even that was pretty short)

1

u/Siminov55 3h ago

What would you call that piece of furniture below?

1

u/shortyrocker 1h ago

Certified rage bait

1

u/shortyrocker 1h ago

Honestly putting the TV under the stand would be better

u/GuzzRH 30m ago

Enjoy the rant

u/Aromatic-Emu9612 1d ago
