Just moved out TV from above the fire place to the wall. Still have to hide some cords. But our necks are thankful.

*** update - I love the comments and this Reddit. I am aware it is still too high. We have 3 kids so my wife said no to the TV stand. We also didn’t want our youngest to be able to easily touch it. We wanted it above the switch 2 to hide the cords coming down. My kids take the switch out a lot so it needs to be accessible. It is center I just took the photo from an angle.

Make an assessment (not OP)

It used to be on a stand but I had to install because of crazy cat. It's a few inches it's height o a stand just to make room for the Switch 2.

Friend posted this from a place they’re selling.

It's a giant white wall, how could I not? Can be seen from anywhere in the house (a small A-Frame) and great for movie nights.

Thoughts? This is a bit of meme post because it’s on the ceiling but relative to the seat being laid back it’s still too high lol

Please tell me one of those tabs is a Google search for proper TV height.

Don’t mind the cable, I’ll fix that. Also thinking about mounting a Sonos Ray under it 😋

I’m moving to Florida from NY into a flat house that has a big open bright living room and I’m buying the TCL QM9K 85 inches and I want to fit a soundbar on my tv storage stand but the TV’s stand is right in the middle, covering where I would put a soundbar so a soundbar can’t happen. So I’m looking for TV speakers that’s as good as a soundbar (my budget is $1200-$1300). I was gonna go with the TCL Z100’s but I did my research and it isn’t good for big open concept rooms (you all know how big open concepts flat houses are in Florida). I’d put 2 speakers in front (left and right of tv) and an optional 2 in the back of my sectional (only if the front 2 speakers aren’t good enough then I’ll find a way to put 2 behind where we sit). I don’t want to wall mount the TV because it’s too much $$$ to do so plus I don’t have family members that are handy and can do it for me. I’m in the process of doing my research plus asking this question on here.

Recently adopted a cat and the little fella is a complete nut job.

Yesterday he almost toppled the tv over so we must wall mount it.

Any advices on the height? The center of the tv is at about 1,12m from the ground now, should I keep this height or can it go a bit higher?
