People love the idea of wall mounted tvs. But they have no will to consider the details.

At least it’s not also over a fireplace.

[-] IndefiniteBen@leminal.space 20 points 1 year ago

At least they have an excuse if it's mounted over the fireplace.

What compelled them to mount it so high on an almost blank wall?!

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I bet it's excellent in a laid-back recliner

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

So true (about the details). Really doesn't work retro fitting

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Well it's possible to retrofit, you need to be willing to open the wall which is not a bad thing as it allows you to make a frame so you can center the TV exactly where you want it.

[-] soloner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I have a TV over the fireplace. Do you think it's too high? To me it feels good.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Okay now show me a fireplace over a TV

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

There's no perspective without floor, but based on the shelves I'd say it's too high. A TV should be at roughly eye level from where you look at it.

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

While being over a fireplace causes the TV to sit too high, the real concern with that location is heat and particulate matter released from the fireplace.

/r/tvtoohigh was a tragic loss to humanity the day Reddit died.

Bro I re-created that sub here a couple months back. Hasn’t caught traction yet

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

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

When I type that in a comment it doesn't link to anything. What is the syntax I'm missing?

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Could we make a new one here on Lemmy?

[-] nucleative@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

These kind of ultra niche subs really need a huge audience. I'm afraid contributors would be posting in the dark for a while if it was here.

[-] malloc@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have been making contributions to the sub I created. Posts occasionally reach the fp with some upvotes and comments.

Go home link fixer bot, you're drunk.

[-] ridethisbike@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yea. They may belong in a home theater community for the time being?

[-] malloc@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I re-created it a couple months back. Not too much activity lately tho. I used to self post from random home improvement shows. Couple of posts fp’d.

Couple of people even posted their own.

I haven’t been active lately but I do keep tabs on it

Part of the problem with any community coming over to lemmy would be the moderation. It's hard work and often thankless.

[-] ScruffyDucky@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

The minimalistic cable management is very relaxing :)

Feel free to x-post to !tvtoohigh@lemmy.world 😀

Damn that’s some god awful placement. Please have Airbnb reimburse mental therapy fees

And physical therapy for the neck pain

[-] wsweg@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Crazy how it looks like there’s even conduit in place to route the cables in the wall, but they just didn’t even bother.

[-] Donttaintmebro@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks like power is going through the wall conduit to the power bar up top. The other cables feed in to the box on the shelf under the tv.

Not sure why they're also using the wall outlet on the left though.

Shorter cables and proper cable management would help a bit here.

this picture gave me a neck injury

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

They didn't even need to put it that high

[-] MacAttak8@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I love how no one has mentioned the shoddy electrical wiring running along the baseboard. TV is too distracting!

[-] DragonAce@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

My guess is whoever lived there before had a much larger TV mounted on the wall and then an entertainment center under it for peripherals (hence plugs on the ends down below). Current owner slapped the cheapest/smallest TV they could still mount on the wall thinking it would cover the old cable management setup

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

Did my father install that television?

[-] davemate@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This is why I carry velcro cable ties everywhere

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I do too. But I’m a camera operator and also travel with 5 large pelican cases full of gear.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 year ago

and also travel with 5 large pelicans

That's how I choose to read it and I won't be swaywed from the mental image of you and your waterfowl 😁

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this is fucked up.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I usually get air b and B's for the location not the ambiance but this could be worse. Usually they have pictures before you rent too.

I never really have issues to be honest though. I usually try to pay a little more to find a nice place and if there aren't any I'll just get a hotel. Some cities air b and b is a better option like near a beach or in a historic town where you can get a whole house near somewhere fun. It's ok for cabins too. Hotels are easier and a more convenient experience depending on the company.
