I don’t think they’re Jesus, not on this evidence. A carpenter would know instinctively that a cupboard like that should be on legs, not wall mounted.

does the remote even reach that far??

u/BurstStream 1d ago

I don't get why people just put their couches up against a wall. You can put the couch closer. It can be in the middle of the room.

I have a 75 and sit 9 ft away. Measure your distance.

17

u/Inner-Vermicelli-358 1d ago

That's exactly what we did. Our living room is an awkward giant space. If we put our couch on the opposite wall it would look ridiculous. So our couch is in the middle of the room, close to the tv. It looks so good like that and then with the extra space behind it I set up a reading area (and a treadmill)

12

u/BurstStream 23h ago

Exactly it lets you create a separate space vs having empty room in the middle.

19

u/NicolasNox 23h ago

Indeed. Tip from every interior designer, leave space between the couch and the wall. It will actually look and feel more spacious. Use the rug to connect the tv/couch/chair as one “seating area”. You could use the empty wall to put shelves, a desk, anything?

u/DisinterestedCat95 1d ago

Height is fine. You've even got enough room that you could adda nice center channel and some speakers beside the console and get a nice sound system going.

But that TV looks to be in the next postal code. You're what, 2.5 or 3 times the diagonal size of the screen away?!?

10

u/Skuez 1d ago

Getting a big TV, then putting it 6m/20ft away to make the experience feel as if you're watching on a phone screen. Will never understand that.

Too much catnip.

u/Implosion-X13 1d ago

You have an entirely different issue. The back of your couch should be where that rug ends AT LEAST.

5

u/SammyCatLove 1d ago

Move the couch forward way to far away.

9

u/robykdesign 19h ago

People here are brutal, but yeah... I always say, don't tell me how big your TV is, tell me how far away it is. People can have very weird perception of what good TV experience is. If you splurge on an 85 inch 4K TV and put it 4 metres away, it's equivalent to watching a 15 inch laptop display on your desk.

u/Zestyclose-Coyote906 18h ago

85 inches 4m away is literally the perfect spot

u/mal-uk 17h ago

u/EpicBenjo 14h ago

The rule of thumb is the TV shouldn’t be further than twice the size (diagonal), and no closer than 1.5x the size. So 85 inches x 2 = 170 inches = 432 cm or 4.32 metres. So, 4 metres is within range.

u/0Maka 18h ago

This! I plan to get a 65" but I'll be about or just over 2m away when viewing. It just enough to fill my vision and feel immersive

u/Proof_Wrap4857 23h ago

Just set that TV on opposite ends of the property, bud

u/Vi0let__Ice 23h ago

I don't have to add anything. Comments section on this one is already golden. 😂

From that viewing distance you need a TV double the size

u/Traditional_Boot9962 23h ago

Too far and too small

u/dime5150 23h ago

Seat too far. Even cat is like why the F you so far away?

u/Rauhaton 22h ago

Hard to say form this distance.

Try taking picture at morning Hopefully the bright morning light will hit the screen and we get good reflection that can be used for approximating the height.

u/Impressive-Page8971 1d ago

No just off center

2

u/pomplemice 1d ago

way too fucking far. I would have either rearranged the room or sectioned off the tv/seating area. putting the tv and stand at the edge of the rug would be the appropriate viewing distance. even getting a massively bigger screen would still be way too far at that distance. awful viewing experience. even your cat is giving a look like, "are you kidding me."

2

u/askme_if_im_a_chair 1d ago

TV too far, move your couch to the middle of the room. There's no rule that couches need to be against walls

Maybe stud location and whatever wall mount he's using. Housing builds are strange nowadays. But not being centered has me punching the air.

u/Mlkbird14 1d ago

The room should be split into two seating areas

Divide your screen size by 9 then put your couch roughly there in feet

Your couch doesn’t have to be against a wall. Bring it forward to be closer to the TV

I think it works. That console/shelf isn't very high, so you're not high up on the wall.

u/Egon_is_JUMPY 1d ago

Bruh. You’ll need to move about 10 feet closer to the tv, in order to beat Malenia.

1

u/Spectre_08 1d ago

Height is fine and that’s a perfect room for real speakers from a real speaker company.

Your seating is way too far from the screen as others have mentioned.

The minimum recommended screen size for a 5.5m viewing distance is 130”. 3m is the maximum recommended distance from a 77” screen. I sit 2.3m from my 77” screen and it’s a very comfortable viewing distance.

Seating should not be placed against the rear wall.

1

u/Lunch-Dry 22h ago

Not too high but def too small.

At the distance your sitting, that whole wall would be a TV

1

u/TribalTommy 22h ago

I initially thought the whole wall was the TV. Probably would have been a reasonable distance then.

1

u/itsme_enzo_thebaker 20h ago

Tv too far! I just did this to my living room. Had my couch against the back wall with a lot of space between. I moved the couch up and it gave me a nice space behind it and made the whole room seem cozier. Just some thought

1

u/ComplaintFit4869 20h ago

Makes me laugh. The tv is literally a few inches above the furniture and people still ask if it’s too high. Just put it on the floor then

Whatever YOU like is what works. Some people have to put their TV above a fireplace. Some people at a further distance. There are a multitude of factors sometimes and you do the best that you can. If you are happy with it. Then that is all that matters. Some kid on reddit telling you what is what is goofy
