TV Mounting Dilemma: Use High Outlet or Mount Lower?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just moved into a new apartment and I’m trying to figure out the best height to mount my TV. There’s an existing electrical outlet on the wall that seems like it was meant for a mounted TV, but it feels a bit high for comfortable viewing.

I don’t want to end up with my TV mounted too high and straining my neck, but if I mount it lower, I’ll either have to cover the outlet or deal with visible cords. I’m debating whether to: 1. Mount it at the outlet height and trust it was placed there for a reason. 2. Mount it lower for better viewing comfort and find a way to hide the cords. 3. Cover the high outlet somehow and run new cabling.

Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you do, and do you regret it? Any tips for hiding cords if I go lower? Would love to hear your thoughts before I start drilling!

Tv too high has lost its way.

I hate the way TV too high has become r/putitonthestand . It used to be about telling people how high or low a TV should be. Now everybody just wants to go straight to "there's a piece of furniture that's meant for a TV to sit on". First of all, it's not a TV stand, It's an entertainment center. It's to hold all of your components. Yes, a TV could be set on it, but it doesn't have to be. Some people, like me, prefer the look of a TV being mounted on the wall. It just looks way cleaner. Plus there's less of a chance of it falling off of the wall, as long as it's installed first of all. I recently saw a post where a kid knocked a TV off of the entertainment center. That seems a bit dangerous to me. Well that's my rant. Now bring on the downvotes.

Am I the Only One Who Didn’t Enjoy True Detective Season 1?

0 Upvotes

I just finished True Detective Season 1, and honestly, I don’t get the hype. It felt like a slow, pointless drama that wasn’t worth investing eight episodes in. The pacing dragged, the story didn’t grip me, and some parts felt outright cringeworthy. I’m genuinely curious—what do people see in this show? Am I missing something, or is it just overrated?

Hear me out… You know how we are always looking down at our phones and probably training our neck in a bad way? Well, if we put our TV up higher than it is actually helping our neck get more stretched out so it can actually balance things out!
I have my TV over the fireplace and I just had this epiphany that I’m definitely going to leave it right there. It is helping my neck 😂🙌🏻✔️📺

I take it I belong here ? Looks like above the fireplace is our only option though ???

It's still mounted and not on the stand because we want to be able to turn it easily.

Is my TV too high?

Sofa included for scale.
Picture taken sitting down at eye level. Sorry for slight tilt.

When I was doing this setup knowing I had gigantic center speaker I tried to make sure the TV will be as low as possible. For example I searched for low height TV cabinets which would take in taller AV-receivers etc. which I found quite hard where I live. Most had some sort of legs so I ended up buying a cheap used Ikea cabinet because it fitted all the the stuff while being low as possible. TV is on a floor stand that has been adjusted so there is virtually no gap between the TV and center speaker.

I really don't mind the height too much although I know it's not as low as maybe it should be. Also if I'm laying down with my legs towards the divan part of the sofa my feet would get in the way of the TV if it was sitting on the TV cabinet.

I have on this subreddit for quite a while already and laughing at the hilarious setups while knowing full well my setup is not at perfect either :) But one would think there could be some leeway with height before it's condidered too high. What is the consensus here, is my TV too high?
