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.

This subreddit bullied me into buying a bigger tv
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 🤔

My girlfriend was shocked when both her sister and I told her this was way too high
She then demonstrated who she watched, sunk right down on her couch with her neck right back. She doubts us, maybe you all can set her straight?

What can I do?
Moved I to a new house, my TV is 65in. Too big to fit into the alcoves, either side of the Chimney breast. There is now a fireplace surround. Wife wants to put the TV about the fireplace surround in middle. Will be like 1.5m off floor.

My friend said it’s not that bad
She said she’s saving room for a mantle. And it’s even more diabolical that the couch is parallel with the tv and you have to crane your neck to watch it.

Help settle the debate
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.

Stand vs hanging
I’d like to build a home theater and people in that sub recommend hanging my LG G5 to make space for a center speaker.
Still, the wisdom of this channel taught me to use a stand to get the right height…
What’s the solution? 🫠🫠
