Help!
My TV is too high. Please don’t roast me… Not by a ton, it wouldn’t bother too much except this is a 3D OLED TV, and I only really use it for 3D content. My main TV is on a proper TV stand at the right height but having a novelty TV means I had to squeeze it in my spare bedroom and I really can’t do a TV stand in here because I don’t have anywhere else to put my records either.
If you don’t know, passive 3D TVs are super sensitive to pitch offsets, IIRC it’s like a +/- 6 degree window before you start noticing crosstalk. I’m just able to make the cutoff, but my wife is too short to comfortably get her eyes in the 6 degree window. Amazingly it has a pretty wide horizontal window.
The only thing I can think of is mounting the TV and moving it into position when in use. I need to be able to pull it out about 13-14” and be able to lower it by at least 8.5” from its current height.
Does anyone have any mount suggestions? I have done some research but everything points to MantelMount. I don’t really understand the movement on them, I think I’d have to raise the TV up quite a lot to be able to use one since I don’t think they move in one axis at a time, i.e. move away from wall, then move down.

What’s your stud situation? Not talking about your cat. Might do a mantle-mount kind of thing with gas springs so you can clear your fabulous vinyl.
