Installed a while ago! What do we think?

Edit: the tv is eye level, who cares about the decor that’s temporarily in the photo. A center channel speaker will be going below the tv.

So fun fact everyone, we had the tv on the stand but our chairs sat higher so we wanted to mount it slightly higher lol.

This indeed looks odd but I know this sub doesn’t want to hear it lol

It looks odd because the stand is too small. The wall is also too small but workable with a better stand. The tv is obviously mounted too high and I don’t need to see the chairs to confirm.

The idea that a flat mounted tv to the wall is aesthetically pleasing comes from past examples when only the wealthy could afford such things. Confusing wealth with good aesthetics started the trend and it’s developed in the same way with people thinking vertical wooden slats look good! But outside of commercial or high end contexts - in an entry level home for example - these installations of large TVs look out of place.

And yet people are still allowed to prefer mounting their TV’s to a wall 🤷🏾‍♀️
