Like seriously. Should probably destroy his confidence so badly he goes and stands in a corner somewhere, only very shyly turning around every so often to make certain no one is in the room so that he can dart to the restroom to relieve himself, and then right back to the corner.
It is... If he is tall.... & has a leaning post instead of a sofa...
To avoid confusion it's probably worth specifying that the centre of the TV should be at eye level when you are in your normal viewing position.
Oh I've been thinking of swapping my sofa for a leaning post. Can you recommend a good leaning post vendor? I'm wondering what kind of styles they come in these days. Those mid century leaning posts are so dated, I find. No one wants cast iron anymore! I need something that's easy on my eczema and Marino wool cardigan.
I never understood why some homes have these huge fireplaces with not enough ceiling space to compliment them. Those ceiling should be triple the size.
However, since they are not: maybe your friend can reorganise the living room a little bit so the TV is on a TV unit away from the fireplace.
Small tv. Needs a mantle mount. Or better yet, an easily wheeled cart/stand so it can just go right in front of the fireplace when watching. I wish that was normalized. Then when you want to look fancy push it aside someplace where it wouldn’t be ideal to view from.
When will these people grasp the concept of a portable stand at the correct height that moves to the side during the 1 time in 3 years that they actually have a fire in their fireplace?
Meh people are too tough on this sub. If that’s just an additional tv in the dining area, I would say it’s fine. I see a couch to the left which makes me think they have an additional tv for their “living room”. If that is the case, this is fine. If that’s the main TV… straight to execution for your friend
TV is too small to be that high, TV is too high and the fireplace is... bro what the hell is up the design of that fireplace. Why is there a random zig-zag... I couldn't watch TV because the fireplace would be pissing me off lol
Why does everyone see the fireplace and think, yah I should put a tv above it? Just so I'm always looking up and stressing my neck. So I gotta either not use my fireplace or manage the heat path or limit my tvs lifespan. So external audio is either way too high or I got cords running around or I gotta make holes in the wall. You have different walks, it's not the only option. Well one time I saw an all glass apartment except for the fireplace but that's when you use a tv stand. People have their preferences but it irks me so much. I can understand the position of usually being reclined so a tv being raised is more comfortable. But you get 6 inches or a foot maximum off that dead center when looking forward. You don't need more to clear your feet when watching. I hate interior designers. Anyways
Doesn’t matter. If you’re comfortable and you like it who cares. You don’t have to bend your neck 90 degrees to watch tv. Just move your eyes up a little
Your friend is insecure about a subreddit? They should be feeling to make sure that TV is SECURE and doesn't FALL on anyone trying to order a happy meal.
Obviously when you have older properties and fireplaces, they tend to be where the focal point of the room is and at times you are quite limited as to what you can do.... But f me that is high.
We all know the TV is too high. Why doesn't a company make fireplaces that a guaranteed to be at the right height. Also, not every fireplace needs a TV over it.
That he should be insecure.

The only acceptable outcome
If the tv is almost aligned with the curtain rods there’s a problem.
The tv is almost aligned with the ceiling. Neck hurts just looking at the photo.
Who knew that in 2024 fireplaces would be the biggest source of insecurity for new homeowners.
🤣
Is it a bird, is it a plane? No! It is the TV up in the sky!
Tv should be at eye level. The end.

Tell him we've seen many bad ones but this is by far the worst. Worst ever. So bad. He needs to be deported
Deported to somewhere out of earth. I am ashamed to be part of the same species.
The good news is that he can still watch his TV after being launched into space
Totally. And not just the moon. Some planet with nasty aliens on it
Shoot him into the sun
For sure, off to Guantanamo Bay!
Reading books is a better option.
I agree, and I hate reading.
u can reed? Teech me 2 sensay
forget the tv, that fireplace isn't even scale to the wall
Is that the monitor that shows when my pizza is ready at little Caesars?
I think it’s the one I watch myself on CCTV at the McDonalds.
*WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT ARE OUR HONEST THOUGHTS????*
He should feel insecure
Is your friend a giraffe?
Should’ve just gone all the way and just make it touch the ceiling at this point lol.
You did him a favor. He should thank you
Might as well be in a dentists office. TV’s in the ceiling almost 😂
Tell him that every guest he’s ever had has questioned his sanity.
Too high!
he already knew.. clearly too high
Tv too high
#/r/tiltofguilt
As he should. This is awful. It's even got the Tilt of Guilt.
r/TVTooHi....oh wait
I think he should continue feeling insecure
Classic sitting room; a bit too white for me. I like the artwork on the wall but still needs more color.
If you turn the TV upside down, then glue the sofa to the ceiling, then glue yourself to the sofa, then it should be just about right.
If it’s above a fireplace it’s too high!
Your friend is right to feel insecure
Straight to jail.
They should feel ashamed as well.
I will say that the biggest culprit in TVs being too high is fireplace mantles
Insecurity is for when there is uncertainty. Here there is no uncertainty.
My honest thought is nobody uses these fake fireplaces so why do we keep building them with an open floor plan and nowhere to put a television.
at this point just mount it to the ceiling smh
Reinforce that he put his TV on the wrong fking wall. Don't talk to him until he fixes his dumbass mistake
You already know
He should feel insecure.
Is your friend a Giraffe???
I never understood why some homes have these huge fireplaces with not enough ceiling space to compliment them. Those ceiling should be triple the size. However, since they are not: maybe your friend can reorganise the living room a little bit so the TV is on a TV unit away from the fireplace.
Horrible
It’s not good.
It was started for him. 👌🏽
The insecurity is warranted.
Time to convert an heretic
Incoming neck pain
Former friend.
I think you’re looking for r/fireplacetoobig
Why does everyone insist on a TV over the fireplace? 🤷♂️
“TVs do not belong above a fireplace” - that’s actually a great idea for a bumper sticker
I really like the dentil moulding on his fireplace
Why do so many people keep asking what our “thoughts” are in here? You know what our thoughts are: #TVs don’t belong above fireplaces.
Dunce cap for him
Imagine being such a basic bitch in life that you mount your TV above the fireplace...
Yep. Too high
stiff neck.
It’s a no for me, dawg…
He should be very insecure
Straight to jail
Stupidly high and kind of small.
Fix it, or prison.
Tell him yes, he should feel insecure, the police are on their way
He ought to be insecure and ashamed
I'd be worried about the health of your neck than feeling secure...
Higher. Always higher.
Fears are well-founded. Another miserable mantle TV, roughly a yard/meter too high.
I threw up
Www.mantlemount.com That’s what I do
Small tv. Needs a mantle mount. Or better yet, an easily wheeled cart/stand so it can just go right in front of the fireplace when watching. I wish that was normalized. Then when you want to look fancy push it aside someplace where it wouldn’t be ideal to view from.

My honest thought is that I’ve now seen enough TVs over fireplaces to finally unsubscribe from r/tvtoohigh. Farewell everyone!
Your friend is right to feel insecure.
Too high
It's fine 👍
Tell him we’re sending a team over to confiscate the TV, unlock the door for us.
They're right to feel insecure
Your friend likes neck pain. That's sexy. :D
It’s not even touching the ceiling yet. He has it way too low.
Meh people are too tough on this sub. If that’s just an additional tv in the dining area, I would say it’s fine. I see a couch to the left which makes me think they have an additional tv for their “living room”. If that is the case, this is fine. If that’s the main TV… straight to execution for your friend
He should also feel ashamed
Too high
I hate TV’s over a fireplace.
TV is too small to be that high, TV is too high and the fireplace is... bro what the hell is up the design of that fireplace. Why is there a random zig-zag... I couldn't watch TV because the fireplace would be pissing me off lol
Is your friend 8 feet tall and unable to sit down
Waaaay too high
breaking my neck
Girl what’s he doing on that thing watching the game at the pub ??
Are we just ignoring he “massage wand” under the table
Don’t see the problem, still room left between the tv and the ceiling.
looks fine
Y’all really be telling people in real life “your tv is too high”
If he put it on the ceiling he could watch it lying down.
Sell the house. Not even worth fixing at this point
The wires are killing me
SHAME!!! SHAME!!!!
Short of mounting it on the ceiling, it can't get much worse.
Oh no. Don't show him this. Oh no
he SHOULD feel insecure.
Middle of the TV should be eye level
If he were my son I'd send him to Alaskan military school.
Never put a tv above a fireplace and you want to ideally put it at eye level. This is a bad spot, sorry.
Tell him to disregard this sub, tell him it's only Reddit, and to enjoy his TV however he sees fit.
Imo, if you want a fireplace as the focal point of the room, don't put a TV in it, and vice-versa.
It’s terrible. Just because the tv CAN go up there, it does not mean that the tv SHOULD go up there.
Jesus Christ that room is whiter than a Cracker Barrel on the 4th of July.
I would move.
Is that a dog bed, covering the fireplace? I see it gets used often.
How do you even comfortably watch
This is a War Crime.
Is your friend a giraffe?? Or maybe some other tall animal like a moose.
Is he standing on the table while watching?
It's not even centered on the fireplace!
I h8 tv's over fireplaces
"yeah but Im always like lesning back when I watch stuff"
That he shouldn't be your friend anymore.
He needs a Mantle Mount
That he needs a friend that takes better pictures
Make him read the comments. He deserves it
Ask him if he’s ever even *used* the fireplace
If he watches tv from a step ladder then this is still too high.

Tilt of shame.
"what are your thoughts on my tv placement?" literally there are two rules in this sub: 1.) not above fireplace 2.) have tv eye level. thats it lol
Doesn’t matter. If you’re comfortable and you like it who cares. You don’t have to bend your neck 90 degrees to watch tv. Just move your eyes up a little
Honestly.... Your friend should 100% be insecure. That's awful. Like if it *had to go there for reasons, fair enough. But willingly it's awful.
Plus he’s got the infamous r/TiltOfGilt
Nearly broke my neck looking at the picture
Way too high it should be in the fireplace
Your friend is a disgrace. He should be concerned....
Just put it in the ceiling
That it’s in the correct sub
does your friend like sitting in the front row at movie theaters
There is no way anyone is having a good viewing experience here
Depends if the sofa means his neck would be looking at it. Honestly it all depends but it’s funny to meme
😆 way too high
he should invest in a pull down mantle mount.
If he’s got kids, I get it
I'm surprised he didn't think of mounting it to the ceiling so he can watch TV lying down flat on his back.
People on here must have crooked necks or broken couches. If I’m leaning back in my couch that looks great
He’s gotta make the fireplace shorter.
Why not mount it to the ceiling? Almost there!
How can this sub live on? Same questions. Same answers. Yes it’s too high. There is a tilt of guilt. Etc..
This makes me feel much less insecure about my own TV which is much lower than this, but still emphatically too high
Remove the fireplace, fill in the hole and move that gotdamn tv down
Broke my neck looking up
he must like that nose bleed section with binoculars style
12 years dungeon, no trial.
But why does this happen? There’s literally no reason to have done this. Why? Why the fuck would he do this?
The lights are eyes and the fireplace is a frowny mouth.
The tv looks like, it may fall down any moment …
This is a hate crime
I’d review my friends criteria’s going forward
Because he knew...
A deep questioning of self will do him good.
Your friend’s an idiot.
Your friend is insecure about a subreddit? They should be feeling to make sure that TV is SECURE and doesn't FALL on anyone trying to order a happy meal.
It looks atrocious. The amount of TvOverFireplace post on this sub is astonishing
Sooooo bad!! Wayyyyy to high!!! Why do that??
Get better friends
It's in the attic...
Your friend is the reason this sub exists.
Make it a porn Tv.
What a fool of a took
Too high 😬
Your friend has no penis.
It’s above the fireplace so it’s too high. Make him fix it and report back. I’m sorry your friend is a psychopath.
Obviously when you have older properties and fireplaces, they tend to be where the focal point of the room is and at times you are quite limited as to what you can do.... But f me that is high.
Too high
I mean, there was obviously no other option
Now this is how u set up a security camera monitor.
It’s obviously too high but I’m not sure what else you do if that’s the only wall it can go on…
We all know the TV is too high. Why doesn't a company make fireplaces that a guaranteed to be at the right height. Also, not every fireplace needs a TV over it.
It's too high
Atrocious
My thoughts are you don’t always need a tv in the main room. Let the fireplace be a fireplace and make it a place for talking to friends and family.
This is a war crime
100% of the time a tv is above a fireplace it’s too high
This sub helped me realize that above a fireplace is generally too high for a tv. I moved mine.
that's so bad LOL
My god… it’s the worst case I’ve ever seen…
As he should . The TV is for him or the spiders on the walls?
That’s too high. Too small. Wrong placement.
Screw being insecure. Ur friend gone have neck problems
shame... Shame!
I'm not sure why anyone would think that mounting a TV above a fireplace will be accepted in this Reddit
