    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.

      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

      • Kecessa@sh.itjust.works ⁨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.

      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.

        Okay now show me a fireplace over a TV

        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.

        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

        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.

        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.

    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.

    source
    • Donttaintmebro@lemmy.ca ⁨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.

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

        Because there’s a giant brick that would cover half of the strip.

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

    source
  • DragonAce@lemmy.world ⁨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

    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.
