Comment on This airBNB was supposed to be a "relaxing retreat" but now I need therapy after this shit.

  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?!

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    If it works for you that’s great. Every one I’ve experienced is so high up that it is literally a pain in the neck.

    I love my TV over my fireplace.

    People are weird.

  High enough to be.

  Indeed. I have my TV on a TV desk and behind it there is a mess of cables, all kind of hidden.

  On my desk I have:

  • ISP modem,
  • personal router
  • gigalan powered switch
  • VPN server (edgerouter X)
  • Toslink hifi dac
  • passive preamp with IR receiver to control the volume
  • The TV
  • x2 powered monitors (KRK RP6G3).
  • PS5 console
  • One headphone amp that lately I’m not using (Lyr 2) and I think I’ll reallocate.
