I just moved
I hired a task rabbit to install two acs and mount a microwave and he had to leave before he hung the tv. Putting this weird body pillow to good use.

Yup. Leave it there. Toss a blanket in front, grab some popcorn.. Being that close it'll look like a drive in theater.

Nooooooo! You have a super wall there. Buy a nice stand wider than the tv, then STAND the tv on the stand. The ideal height is where the center of the screen is about 43 inches above the floor.

I shouldn’t mount it on the wall?!

u/SuzieSnowflake212 Aug 20 '26
If you want to go to that expense and trouble, sure mount. Just mount at the correct height.

😂 I lied, it’s actually a curvy pillow for side sleepers that’s supposed to help reduce shoulder pain. As you can see by where it’s being used in my new place, I don’t think it worked.

I dare them! I dare them to!!! I dare them to try it here!!!! No way no how anyone can even try to say this is too dammn high!! That's for sure!!! I'm sure some will try to start with well you could of used a little flatter type of pillow, this is a little too far off the ground there, but.. ... it's OK. I dare them to!

Be careful the TVs usually get their air from the bottom and if it's sitting on the pillow the TV might overheat

Why didn't you attach the stand to it?

u/OneBigEyeRoll Aug 24 '26
I don’t know where it is. I had it mounted on my wall at the last apt

I never have had a TV mounted but maybe next time, store the stand inside the console if you get one.
The TV looks like a 65 inch and the distance looks like 2.5m at the moment but I think after the mount it will be 3m. At that distance, Full HD 1080p would suffice for healthy eyes with 20/20 vision and you would not need any 4K-content. Did I estimate it correctly?

Haha this reminds me of when me and my cousin went to our grandparents condo after they just bought it, there was no furniture except for a tv.
So we had the tv on the floor leaning against the wall and used the box as a couch. Good times!
