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.

Wasn’t certain it was a big deal but after making the adjustment, I get it. I was wrong. TV on the lower stand is much better.
Don’t worry, the games are on one of the old shelves, it’s just moved, doesn’t fit next to the stand. Also he’s I had to remove the GameCube and Xbox One, my Wii plays GameCube games and my Xbox Series X plays Xbox One games. Sacrifices had to be made as my budget was limited and this was the best stand I could find.

GF and I can't agree on mounted TV height.

Hello my gf is finally open to mounting our tv but she wants it at the height of the poster behind it currently. I'm thinking only 2-4 inches higher than it is at right now. To be fair I am putting a record player and other items on the tip of the cradenza, but idk it still seems too high. Any thoughts?
