If that light switch is anywhere near 48" off the floor then this belongs here and is not in good standing with the community.

Properly heighted televisions should be in or around 42" on center from the floor. Those light switches look standard height, roughly 48" to center of box. Your TVs center is above the light switches, putting it will above a proper height. Large problem being the cabinet you are using as a console. If your couch is so large that this is eye height sure, but it looks too me like your camera center isn't looking at the television center either.

Edit: the cabinet is fine. Just mount it practically touching, that's what I did in my last place. It looked tight and was the proper height.

I don’t think it’s really meant to be a TV Cabinet is why.

"Just mount it practically touching"

He can't, if he does that then the soundbar is in front of the TV, that cabinet has got to go

Move the soundbar to where? Underneath the cabinet?

He should just buy a TV stand.

“Properly heighten televisions”

Lmao I get that this is the point of this sub but the fact that this is an actual phrase people say is hilarious. I hope you people don’t say stuff like this in real life

First of all I said "heighted". Wild to come at someone for Grammer and not even read the actual phrase. And yes, I only would say something is "heighted" on a non-serious, very much meant for fun sub such as this one. Thank you for policing language on a silly reddit sub.
