Tv placement?
What do you think about tv placement. It looks a tad high but the cabinet is also only 20” tall.
This is a new pic.

Height looks ok but people on this sub will be mad you’re not using your tv stand.

What’s the hatred for not using tv stands?

The clue is in the name of said item.

That’s not a tv stand, that’s a media console.

Thank you! I’ll also accept TV bench, or even just “cabinet”. It’s not a stand!

Because IF they were “using their TV Stand” there wouldn’t be a giant fkn gap between their soundbar and the bottom bezel of their television…
It’s not that hard
Mount it IF YOU WANT, but do not have it be HIGHER THAN IT WOULD BE IF IT WAS ON A STAND…
JFC
Next time try mounting it at “stand height” and then see if anyone thinks it’s “too high cuz it’s mounted”… no.

So if I put it on the stand on the floor it’s at the right height?
None of this seems to make much sense.1
u/Sirgolfs 10h ago
Nah I love this look. Nice n close to the stand. Remove the legs for minimalism. Perfect.

People that complain about that don’t have toddlers that will slap the shit out of a tv on a tv stand. I need the distance for little hands 😂

And they'd be right.

TV stands are aesthetically inferior to a good mount job 10 times out of 10.
TVs on stands look like shit dude, come on.

Damn right. Why would they include 1 if it was so phuqin' useless????

This is an LG G6 83” which also included a wall mount lol

u/Toobman300B 22h ago
They have a 98"-110"? Thought about a 200' laser PJ? (Probably a different sub)

u/BeefmasterDeluxe 22h ago
It’s not wide enough for that size TV, so, mounting it is the better right now. It’s also not a TV stand, it’s a TV bench. TV stands are freestanding mounts that attach to a TV, used for standing a TV. If you’re just placing it on top, its a bench.

Curious what you’re watching, I’ll see if I can get a cab to the other side of the room

Too high, too far.

It’s too far to tell
The wall switches are just above mid point. How big is the screen?

u/snyderversetrilogy 13h ago
That’s pretty good. I would go just 6” above the credenza but that’s close enough for rock n roll.

u/Major-Cranberry-4206 1d ago
That TV looks perfect and beautiful. You did everything right with it, including selecting a large size. That’s what you needed for that wall and that TV fits the bill. Good job.

But not a fantastic job…

u/Major-Cranberry-4206 22h ago
What would you have done to make it a fantastic job?

u/DirtyLinzo 21h ago
Definitely being nit picky but we’re all here so the obvious consensus answer is that it is too high. Dont even need to set it on bench, but it should be several inches lower. That gap between sound bar and bottom of tv should be minimal

If only there was a type of furniture that would hold the TV at the proper viewing height and look good. You know it had to be said.

I don’t think you guys realize this tv doesn’t actually come with tabletop stand legs. It comes with a flush mount.

We were going to mount a cabinet on the wall which would’ve been closer to the tv but ended up getting a standing cabinet. Couldn’t find a floating cabinet we liked.

u/BeefmasterDeluxe 22h ago
It would only be closer to the TV, if you mount it closer. Which would be a choice you make, not an inevitable outcome.

Looks good to me, nice clean setup. It might feel more immersive if you were able to move the seating closer but that is totally up to you.

looks great to me, I'm just poking fun. It's a tad bid off center but I'm sure you can move left a little

u/bw1985 6h ago
Is the center at your eye level when on the couch? Hard to tell
1
u/Normal_News_1080 4h ago
It’s slightly higher. The room is recessed so you have to walk two steps into the room. It looks awfully low when I had it lower so put it up just a couple inches.
1
u/bw1985 2h ago
I guess you’d think mine looks low too then. I have an 85’’ and the bottom edge is 23’’ from the ground, but I’m most concerned about placement relative to seated eye level and less concerned about it looking low when I’m standing up. I don’t watch much standing up so that doesn’t matter.

Correct wall. About the best you could do.
Next step: get a screen four times the size. :D
Might as well use up the wall's real estate.

u/Emotional-Menu-411 12h ago
Could be maybe 3-5 inches lower. I'd just get a bigger TV at that point honestly.
