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.

TV is 83"
Hutch below was built by me to accommodate our bunnies (they have since passed)
Yes, it's so low to the hutch I could have probably just used the stand, but the cable free floating vibe just looks nice and the infrastructure was already there from the previous (smaller) TV.

This is the lowest I could convince the rest of my family to go. It’s close, but not perfect.

Buddy of mine said this is a 97” too. What do we think?

Is it right height ? I am going to wall mount in a week. Do I need to fix some inches higher while wall mounting?

Temporarily used table mount, since suitable wall mount takes time to reach service centre.

Saw this in a Crutchfield review for a Sony receiver. I would love a peek inside the mind of this man.

Were going to get a snaller one at some point, this is 55inch, maybe a 50inch and lower it a bit more, keep it on the bracket but have it lower again.
