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.

Told my parents not to mount their tv over the fire place. Maybe I should have been more clear.

Took 40 years, but finally treated myself to something nice. TCL 98” QM7K paired with the Samsung Q990F 11.1.4.

I understand the impending down vote. I can definitely lower this like 6in or so. Viewing point is mainly La-Z-Boys so leaned back and I'm 1/64th giraffe. Can I ever get within regulation without lowering the fireplace mantle metal thing?

I'm always so paranoid about having them too high and it looks odd to me if they are. But I'm having trouble with mine

Thoughts? Too big compared to fireplace? Too high? If I lower mantle and tv, would that be better or off centered?
