My partner is a tv on the fireplace mantel viewed from a distance kind of guy. I’m a tv at or near eye level while sitting on the couch and viewed from a responsibly close distance kind of guy.
So we compromised, and placed the tv on the fireplace mantel all the way across the room from the couch.
I guess I’d fit in quite well in a tvtoohigh community.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !tvtoohigh@lemmy.world
False. Any good lounge should have you reclined and looking naturally towards the joint between the wall and ceiling. Having a tv that is at eye line while you are sitting vertically is not comfortable when you are lounging. You end up crooking your neck down.
It’s apples and oranges for how you prefer to lounge, but I hate TVs placed even with eye-level while I’m standing if I am in a legit lounge. I recognize that other people like to be more vertical while they sit, as I’ve had this argument with a close friend… but for me, the lounge is king.

How could that even work? If you hang your TV that high then the ‘horizontal plane’ (from your eyes to the screen) would be diagonally across the room. You’d need a really weirdly shaped room. Where do you place your front height speakers? They would have to be above where the ceiling is and your rear speakers would effectively need to be below floor level.
It’s probably the only way you can be semi-comfortable watching a TV over a fireplace tho.
Is there a tvtoohigh community here?

Someone needs to resurrect it. That’s been dead almost as long as I’ve been on Lemmy.
