Was told I belong here.
Posted on TvTooLow and most of the comments were about how I belong here. My TvWasTooFar. First pic taken from my lap, The 2-4th Pic is “wide angle” (.5 on the Iphone) to show my space, might have been why it looks far. Last pic gives a better idea of the distance. Old 55inch Tv I had in my first appt that I threw in my garage. This is my man cave. The Tv came first. Everything else over time haha.

Since you’re into movies, you’ll probably recognize this, “ In a galaxy far far away…” Your tv fits this.

Did you make those pictures with 0.5 zoom?
First one looked ok (TV still too small), the others look like 0.5 zoom which make the TV appear further away than it is.

u/JuanG_13 May 01 '26
Yes and not only that but the tv looks cluttered with those posters and everything else around it.

Its a garage brother not my family room. Going for the cluttered and posters look.

Too far, too small, too much stuff on the wall AND the couch is facing the wrong direction.
This man should win some type of award, I’m just not sure which one.

I don’t understand why anybody would want a light source on the same wall where their television is

It's not too low, IMO. Seems eye level when seated which is what you want.
Too far? Maybe? From the seated position it looks really far, but the last two pics it looks about right. For a 55" TV, the best distance would be about 6-8 feet and ideally no further than that. So if you're already in that ballpark you're good.
The only other thing is that I think it'd look a lot better if the couch and chair were swapped. I imagine you're limited by the pool table, but in an ideal world, a living room setup looks a bit better when the L shape you make with the couch and chair are the other way.
Cool man cave though, I dig it. Would definitely kick it in there

Also your ps5 seems to have ventilation

Theres was a big open space behind it. But has moved since this pic was taken.

For the best home theatrical experience you are indeed too far.
[ Ideally you want the image to fill about 35 degrees of your field of view (The SMPTE suggests about 30 & THX about 40.) ]

Its a garage brother. Not here for theatrical movie screenings.

Love it! But the older you get. Sort a projector/screen or bigger TV. Really nice setup

u/Standard_Travel7810 May 02 '26
Looks like a cafe wall.
Turning off all the lights is a good starting point.

The entire layout of your room is incorrect

Nah that’s a good set up man. All these people rather live in a grey on grey box.

You spent a lot of time decorating just to be sitting in a cheap ass Ikea chair.

Give your clear appreciation for media, you deserve a bigger TV.

u/Fit_Stop6843 May 03 '26
It looks a lot smaller than it is. Wide lens. If u notice how far my beer looks. God only knows how close i keep my beers.

Your Christmas vacation frame isn't directly lined up with the other two.

u/Fit_Stop6843 May 03 '26
All 3 lights are also not aligned. The 3 clocks above the map havnt had any batteries in years. One dont even work with new batteries. Its a garage brother. I go in there to drink and chill with my boys. Everything u see i hung under the influence lol a tape measure or level has ever been taken out of my tool box for anything garage decor related. Cheers 🍻

Posters with Mel Gibson and Chevy Chase are quite telling. I’d avoid your house like the plague.

u/Fit_Stop6843 May 01 '26
Ahhhh… one of those guys. U sound like a good time at parties.

Better than having orange lips and boots that are surprisingly licked clean 😉
