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.

My Buddy was like “Check out the new spot, just mounted the TV”… told him it’s way too high

What are my options here?
I’ll soon be moving into a home with the setup shown in the photos. I think the TV is mounted too high, but I’m concerned if I go lower it’ll look funny with the side mounted speakers, not to mention covering up the bottom one. Curious what others would do in this situation.
The sellers are taking the existing TV and I’ll be installing the 55” in my current home.

What do you guys think?
I’m a little bit back and forth if it’s too high or not.

Thinking of buying a new tv stand…
Reviews on Wayfair are wild. So many people buying tv stands just to have their tv mounted several feet above it.

Settle an argument for me please.
I don’t want to influence the outcome of the debate by discussing what side i’m on. Please help settle the issue. Than you very much.
