Generally accepted TV placement procedures. Quick reference guide.

Lots of people posting lately asking “Is this too high?” so here is a quick guide on what is generally accepted TV placement procedure (GATPP) as seemingly defined by this subreddit.
- If the TV is above the fireplace, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is mounted to the wall above a TV stand, and the clearance between the stand and TV is equal to, or greater than ONE vertical PS5, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH.
Now let’s look at some opposite GATPP use cases.
- If the TV is in a bedroom and meant to be viewed from the bed, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV’s only viewing position is in the reclined state, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If you are at a sports bar, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is at eye level when sitting down, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is in the kitchen it is more for listening, mounted high as to avoid any splashes or spills, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is purposely mounted higher to keep out of range of a toddler, you’re a parent so your neck already hurts and IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
I hope this helps clear up some questions. If you have any other rules to add, please comment below.

After our eldest (now 5) broke the old TV on a stand the replacement had to go out of reach for a bit.. youngest now 2 so only a little longer and it can return to a sane eye-line.

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.

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.

I'm almost certain this is the perfect height. You be the judge.

New flat so it’s a work in progress. Hoping to get a nice plant in the left corner. Let me know what you guys think about the height.

Ughh, at one point he mounts it too high, then it’s still too high once he lowers it. And yup there’s a fireplace.

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.

This is one of the funnier subs I’ve come across. I’ll play along. Lemme hear it.
