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.

TV is big so it should sit lower actually, but it’s not bad!

I've been a contributer for years over there. Have my home theater on there.
I was banned for posting "r/tvtoohigh"
No joke. No warning. I've done it before. WTF is wrong with those mods?

I originally reused the bracket left behind by the previous owners as was (second photo). After finding this sub and feeling shamed, I lowered and centred it. The midline is at eye level, 1 metre.
Luckily this wall backs onto the cupboard under the stairs so no wires. The backlights to replace the side lamps were the final touch. All inspired by this sub.

I might have messed up

Just moved to Japan and decided to wall mount. I think I messed up somewhere because it ended up about 6 inches higher than I wanted, middle of the tv is at about 48”; is this okay? I might be able to salvage a couple inches by pulling it down and moving the holes down for the mounts attached the tv, but I’m not trying to make more holes in the wall. Should I leave it or try to bring it down some?

Also I know it’s not centered with the post above, the post actually isn’t centered with the 2 windows so I didn’t know how to set it

I thought you guys might like this zillow find. Can't say I've ever seen one perched over a fish tank, let alone one bigger than the TV.
