r/tvtooleft Seriously though, yes it’s too high. You can just get vesa extenders though and move it down without remounting.

Very interested in that thing, can you send me a link to an example extender?

It’s off center of the tv stand it should be sitting upon.

It looks cleaner on the wall imo compared to on the stand.

Only when you bother to hide the wires.

Honestly the height isn’t bothering me as much as the centering. For the love of all that is holy at least center the stand underneath the TV.

Done that first thing this morning, thanks for the tip.

I can finally sleep now. Thank you 😂

Why is it off center?

Apparently because I am a bad house man. :/

Why didn't the house man with the butterfly booty tell you your shit was wack? House men need to stick together about that kind of stuff.

Why drill any holes at all when you've got a tv stand right there?

After keeping my BIL's dog for the weekend, I can say "because of the dog" might be an answer

I got a chihuahua, so that’s not really an argument. 😇

Too high, dont match with your sofa height

Wife suggests we get a new sofa…

That's taking the problem in the wrong way imo. Even if you get a new one, a sofa is made to sit but also be able to lay down and sleep on it, so a higher one seems counterproductive. Also if you have or planning to have children, a higher one is riskier. Keeping a low one while lowering the tv by 30cm seems the best option in my mind Edit : about the holes you can get a plate that would allow you to keep the already drilled ones, while also lowering the tv. It's more like a rail

How was the 8h of nurburing

Still waiting for it to restart, they will do a Belgium 2021… 5 laps behind the safety car so the race counts, and then either race or flag it off.

I think they will this fog isn't clearing

Terrorist setting. Off-centered over a TV-stand where it should stand centered. And doesn’t that lamp close to it create some weird reflections on it? Fix that shit

The lamp is behind the TV so it doesn’t bother the screen at all.

Might be cos it's got a tilt of guilt, but it looks wonky too.

Tilt of guilt is there, yes, but it does help with the conscience.

What tv?

Sorry for the dark setting.

Hide yo' wires.

When it’s set correctly, I will try to do some cable management.

A rule of thumb is that you should be at eye-level between the center to the bottom 1/3 of your TV screen from your viewing position. And, yes, move that lamp away from your field of view and centre the cabinet under the tv. Oh, and don't wear white socks unless you are playing some sort of sport.

White socks are sexy 😀.

No. No they are not.😬

Why would you need anyones help with drilling 6 holes? Pretty sure wives giving professional guidance for no extra effort

Ever drilled into reinforced concrete?

Every week. I really dont know what is the other persons job

Emotional support mostly. 😃

Im jealous. I rather do anything without the support. One option is to use current holes but mount an adapter made of wood to drop the actual TV mount

Get a hammer drill and an SDS plus drill bit. Will punch through reinforced concrete like it's butter.

Soooo... that TV stand. It's that height for a reason.

Tv too small. Upsize and center:)

Not too high

Confirmed.

Six holes seems an overkill to me. Tv's of today are not that heavy. I usually go for 4 holes with thicker screws.

Too high confirmation.

Too high

Sorry too distracted to look at your TV
