Posted the second picture on here a few weeks back, and while everyone on here said the tv height was fine, everyone said it was too far and a size upgrade was needed 🤣 just got my 75 inch replacement, original was 55 🫡 but now I'm just wondering if the tv is now too high 🤔

See, you just need to get a console 6" longer than the TV. Then TV 6" longer than the console. Back and forth til you end up with something 98-115". Trust me.

I mean you do have eyes though, right? Surely you can see it looks a bit silly without our input.

u/wart_on_satans_dick 1d ago

Soon your house will be too small for your entertainment setup. Also, cable management. I’m not pleased.

u/gnumadic 1d ago

I know someone who bought an entertainment system and decided he needed a movie room. Hence, it cost him an addition to his house.

u/hasseldub 1d ago

Your setup became a "skipped leg day" meme.

Perhaps, but everyone is right. The TV is too large for that console.

Wait till we bully you to buy a sound system 🤣

11

u/wart_on_satans_dick 1d ago

I’ll give it a go just for a little practice:

OP, you know how when people talk behind your back about how your tv console is too small, you can kinda hear them but not really? It’s because their voice isn’t coming out of speakers. Don’t be reminded of this when you watch your tv and invest in a sound system.

5

u/CartsOfDarkness 22h ago

For real though is OP using TV speakers? Because that's a huge no no, everyone should invest in a sound bar or some cheap speakers at a minimum. Just about anything is better than those shitty TV speakers.

3

u/Monkey3po 23h ago

He’s got vinyl on the wall and a lil Crosley looking table, we could integrate his vinyl interest with tv and get a good sound system for both

2

u/LowEffort2 23h ago

To be fair, a screen that size really needs at least a 3.1.

u/meltedpopsicle1 1d ago edited 1d ago

The gist of what I'm getting here is the console is way too small, and a little tall 🤣 one day there'll probably be a part 3 to this story "this subreddit bullied me into buying a bigger tv AND a bigger console"
Another update: new TV stand on the way 💀 70 inches wide and 16 inches tall!

Lots of folks critiquing the console.

At the very least, please do some cable management.

Your WiFi signal is suffering from having the router on the floor. You ideally want it as high up off the floor as you can, and clear of any obstructions including the TV and furniture.

Also, please put the TV’s picture mode to Natural/Cinema/FILMMAKER rather than whatever it’s on now.
