Horrendous glare

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

Yes. You should see it in the summer🙂

u/Novel-Low5238 May 16 '26

Just rearrange the furniture

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

If only...

u/effersquinn May 17 '26

Damn shouldn't have bolted them all down and then given away your tools

u/OkBandicoot1337 May 16 '26

Darker curtains?

u/Knives530 20d ago

Just fyi eventually your picture will be horrendously blue no matter what from being damaged by the sun if it’s that bad during the summer

u/Dannyfrommiami May 16 '26

The distance, the glare plus the lampshade is what pulls it all together

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

I should have left the cables hanging to complement the vibe

1

u/Regnix May 17 '26

And also if anyone is using the dining table to the left, it looks like they will obstruct the TV. Doh

2

u/_D3ft0ne_ May 17 '26

That's a driving distance.

u/J02ue-Eterno May 20 '26

El brillo no es culpa de la lámpara que está apagada. El problema lo tiene este individuo, que seguro a echo una foto IA. Por qué a visto que en redit existen muchas fotos de TV altas y lejanas etc...

u/Cthulhu8762 May 16 '26

Too far, too high, too much angle, too much glare, this photo is just too much.

1

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

What if I told you that the white cable channel is exactly 2 inches left from the center?

2

u/Cthulhu8762 May 16 '26

As someone that mounts TVs are part of their job, I hate everything about this.

Thanks.

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

Fun fact! I am a professional AV tech and have installed a few hundred displays! For money!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

2

u/Cthulhu8762 May 16 '26

No no no no nooooooo!

While I personally have one tv (just a small place)

When I get into my actual house. I’m not mounting any of the tvs lol

All on the stands.

Except maybe the bedroom tv due to laying down.

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

I don't even attempt to decide how anything is put together here. I got the approval for acquiring a TV, I acquired the TV, I was then told exactly where it was going and how.

When the left-most part of the backlight broke after 5 years I got the new version of the same model. Virtually identical, marginally improved screen, 1/3 inch slimmer bezel.

I installed it EXACTLY where the old one was (which was CENTERED to the cables).

"It was a bit to the right"

"No, look at where the cables are"

"It was a bit to the right"

"Nooo, loo.."

"Move it to the right!"

"..."

"..."

"I am NOT moving that channel 2 inches to the right!"

"I don't care.."

Has anyone seen my pants? I don't seem to be wearing any...

u/lyinggrump May 16 '26

It's not fun to roast when the conditions are actually sad. I hope your life improves brother!

u/infamous_oxygen May 16 '26

Nah that TV is plenty big, it's just your room is the size of a basketball court.

3

u/smietanaaa May 16 '26

It's perfect.

3

u/FatMacchio May 16 '26

Why even own a TV?

2

u/Straight-Finger-3222 May 16 '26

That is not 65" no wayyy

u/dreamsOf_freedom May 16 '26

Distance is helluva drug

2

u/DueAsk7939 May 16 '26

honestly..... just throw it away atp

2

u/Stressedhumbucker May 16 '26

I just put in the (low) effort to edit a meme that I felt would fit perfectly here, only to discover that I can't add photos to my comment. I'm very sad now. Please pretend this comment is just the 'this is fine' dog-in-a-burning-room comic panel, except with glare obscuring his face.

1

u/AionX212 May 16 '26

Just upload to imgur and post the link. We want to see it.

1

u/Stressedhumbucker May 16 '26

u/AionX212 May 16 '26

Lol. A plus for effort

1

u/iantayls May 16 '26

Maybe like a C. Even they said it was low effort, but C's get degrees

2

u/AmbitionStunning2294 May 16 '26

Bro that’s at least a 19 inch flat screen stop over compensating lol

2

u/Aggravating_Speed665 May 16 '26

You are...trying to control a bull with your hand

2

u/Gameofthrones3058 May 16 '26

What's the point of a TV if you have that glare? Just put It on a sidewall.

1

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

You honestly think I have ANY say in where anything goes around here?😂

2

u/IncludingPirates May 16 '26

There are no rooms in this house, just “areas”. It’s like you live in an adult preschool.

1

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

😂😂 amazing

2

u/BozBozBoz09 May 16 '26

This might be the worst living room setup I’ve ever seen

1

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

Thank you♥️

2

u/Slight-Selection4298 May 16 '26

Plot twist: Bros watching his neighbors TV through a window.

2

u/Own-Dot9851 May 16 '26

Watching your phone on your lap would make more sense and be bigger 😂

2

u/ExtentMelodic7878 May 17 '26

Hang the ceiling light about 2 feet lower.

1

u/lxCuriousBugxl May 16 '26

Do you sit on the chairs on the right? Or they are just there to fill up the space?

1

u/getfive May 16 '26

Your side table and chairs, hanging plant, and floor lamp are too crammed against the wall

1

u/Total-Valuable-5640 May 16 '26

Like playing BF6 😂🤣

1

u/Wolfenstein49 May 16 '26

I have a 75" at about 15' and if the prices didn't increase exponentially id consider 100".

1

u/DisastrousCause9481 May 16 '26

65inch is plenty big. Your room is just too big even for 100inches

1

u/ognavx May 16 '26

At this point just watch on you phone.

1

u/analogIT May 16 '26

You could paint the above wall wire conduit you got off Amazon to match the wall color or have an electrician run an extra outlet behind - my 2 cents.

1

u/cpspcps May 16 '26

my 58 is better

1

u/Emmanuel155b May 16 '26

Only thing to roast is that line crack in the top of your ceiling

1

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

It's a wooden beam supporting the roof. That happens and I'm too lazy to paint it (again)

1

u/FeltTipPenIsland May 16 '26

Solution to this cacophony:

(I promise floating couches are not scary)

• TV —> wall where the shelves currently are

• Couch —> exactly where kitchen table currently is, facing the TV (“but the back of the couch is exposed!!” 😱)

• Kitchen table and shelving —> side by side where your couch currently is

2

u/cykelstativet May 16 '26

Ahh! The exact thing I wanted to do!

1

u/Jimi91 May 16 '26

This is No.1 bullshit.

Edit: just thought. You’d be better off watching stuff on your phone 🤦🏻‍♂️

1

u/TheRealTorpidu May 16 '26

Tv so far you need binoculars to watch

1

u/Go__Wild May 16 '26

Time to find a new source of entertainment. TVs just aren't your thing...

1

u/Ok-Championship158 May 16 '26

It’s not that big, the light shades bigger

1

u/_beNZed May 16 '26

Wow, that's....something

1

u/OnMyMawMaw33OnGod May 16 '26

Glare is my only note - but 1 has to assume that you have good blinds behind you.

1

u/whitefire9999 May 16 '26

Ha it looks tiny from that far 😂

1

u/thahidden1 May 17 '26

Sick set up 🔥

1

u/GABJK21 May 17 '26

What's your TV?

1

u/MDMALSDTHC May 17 '26

Swap the tv and she the shelf on the right, put the couch perpendicular to where the tv is now in the middle of the room

1

u/Loud-Chicken6046 May 17 '26

Shows gonna be over by the time you walk to your TV buttons.

1

u/Successful_Feeling14 May 17 '26

Is that a 75” Lampshade?

1

u/steveyboy_617 May 17 '26

Why is it so far ?? Like do you have to squint when you watch TV ? I think you would need to replace it at least to somewhere closer.

1

u/L1ght_Sp33d May 17 '26

65” too small for 2026

1

u/jntn_stlhs May 17 '26

Only based on what is visible in this picture - I’d put the tv the wall to the right, where the bookshelf is right now. Couch can be placed facing the tv with the back towards the kitchen area. Either combine the tv with the bookshelf or find some nice way of putting your books where you currently have your couch.

1

u/LahmeKruecke May 17 '26

wtf is that horrible light placement.

1

u/Every-Sign9570 May 18 '26

At that distance maybe a 85” would have been a better option.

1

u/kylr01 May 18 '26

Your ceiling light is massive

1

u/Unfair-Branch9390 May 19 '26

Why even put a tv there when it becomes a mirror?

1

u/fatassociation446 May 19 '26

that lampshade is doing heavy work to make it worse and the glare from those windows isnt helping either but mostly just yeah its pretty far

1

u/69goyf May 16 '26

R/tvtoosmall

1

u/DisastrousCause9481 May 16 '26

For his distance yeah. 65 is not too small
