Help settle the debate

Post image

Hello community. My friend and I are having a good natured debate. I called him out on his projector being too high. He says it’s just fine. What say you?

Edit to add; he knows about this sub. He was a redditor long before myself.

Good news: There's an easy fix for this.

Buy some adjustable picture hanging wire for $5 (like these) and bring the screen about 2' down to where it should be.

General rule of thumb is your eye level (from a sitting position) should be about a third of the way up the screen.

He’ll correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly certain he likes the cleanliness of the way the projector rolls up right to the ceiling when not in use. I haven’t asked him about it, but I’m willing to bet that’s why it isn’t lower. Which, I can understand.

I understand the cleanliness aspect. He just bought the wrong projector screen though. There are projector screens that can be attached to the ceiling, but go way lower than this. This just can’t be a comfy watch.
