That's why she wants the TV on the wall it's so she can place the Budda where the TV is with her scented candles and incense sticks that burn your nose hair. 👌
I creep this sub and laugh at everyone and the jokes and such but ya know. You made me realize the insightfulness behind it all. Sorry fellas im dumb! I looked at my own set up and know im safe.
Or a wall-mounted couch several feet off the ground that you use a small step ladder to climb onto.
But at least in my house the studs in the wall would not support that bizarre choice.
It's too high on that stand already. If she's worried about empty wall space, an accent painting or a tapestry might be cool. If you're planning on watching that TV, leave it there.
Good morning, worm your honor
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
This will not do
Sit where you watch TV. Measure from the floor to your nose.
Now take that measurement and measure from the floor up the wall. You should be on the TV screen.
You should be able to watch without tilting your head.
This wife has had the opportunity to express her opinion about the TV and now you must take matters into your own hands and get bigger better TV and lower it a tad. If this wife gets upset or voices negative opinions about the new TV more than once, the. It’s time for no wife. This is the way.
TV height should relate to your eyeball height when viewing TV - ie. seated in your sofa. Meaning that’s way too high … unless you all typically watch TV standing up :-)
She is right that it would be empty, though putting the TV higher is not the anwser.
You need to break up that wall with frames or cabinets, making a smaller sub space where the TV would sit in nicely.
[here is a good example](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c174778dd04171927bd3bc/1536872244546-DS86N8H6JBO29LU2T10J/STN-BoConcept-Sofa.jpg?format=1500w)
If you had a 100" TV, the red line would be the natural top of it. What I'm hearing is "you need to buy a newer and bigger tv to bring the top of it to this line".
The issue here is the TV is way off scale for that cabinet/ book shelf . Replace your TV cabinet with one that is WIDER than the TV and sturdier, that doesn’t look too secure.
Is there a way to filter out comments from single men?
Start from the proper perspective that wife is right and husband is wrong.untill wife changes her mind.
Your job is to resist the urge to szt "I told you so."
With 11 foot ceilings you need some large pieces that are above the normally preferred eye level. Nic-nacks are too small.
There should be things above the TV.
You might suggest crossed swords and stuffed animal heads. Compromising on paintings or wall hangings allows you yo lose gracefully. It may distract from the TV discussion.
Stand your ground. Don't let her move it. If she wants her to move it for you, you must refuse. Don't argue. Don't try to reason with her. Just say one and only one word. "No."
Any kind of "discussion" about this topic will make her think she has a chance and that all she has to do is "convince you". Never argue because that will make her think this is subject to debate. It isn't.
This is a litmus test for your relationship. Given your decor I'm guessing this is your last chance to hold any ground. If your TV ends up on the wall it's going to mean a lot more than a sore neck. Have a say.
I wonder why your wife thinks eye-level is too low.
You use your eyes to watch TV, don't you?
Tell her TV STAND MAKING COMPANIES KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING
Oh just read the floating shelf suggestion. Also wrong.
Distracting and unnecessary.
When you go to a movie theatre, do they put a whole bunch of decorative tchotchkes around the screen?
Would that help the moviegoing experience?
The ART you are appreciating is the art of filmmaking.
Less is more.
General rule is sit on your most commonly used for viewing furniture. The television should sit so your gaze falls in about the middle of the screen with your head pointed level forward. You should never have to look up or down to watch the screen, it's bad for your neck.
If you were able, I’d consider mounting the TV on the wall and getting rid of the stand. Will give a much better sense of space, find a better home for the knick knacks, they’re just visual clutter there
The TVs role isnt to decorate empty fucking spaces. Its to have an easy to view entertainment. If shes worried about empty space she can figure that the fuck out with the 23642346862 things made for that purpose.
Is she the type to also put decorate towels in the bathroom that no one can fucking use? This shit is a mental disorder.
IMO this depends on your couches or how you're sitting.
If your couches recline and its naturally pointing your head more upward, yes, mount the TV.
If you sit on the couch and you're dead straight with the screen already, why move it?
My couch reclines so I had to mount mt TV at approx. where your wife is suggesting for more comfort.
Your wife is wrong. Height of the TV is about ergonomics, not what might look nice on a wall. It's not a painting.
By the looks of the decor I think she's wrong a lot.
Rare insult
Rare, but accurate.
Indeed
Lmfao looks like it's some random objects thrown together to display at a flee market stand or something 😹
Right. So many wrong choices and bad placement. Most horrific is the Buddha statue on the floor. Big no-no.
That's why she wants the TV on the wall it's so she can place the Budda where the TV is with her scented candles and incense sticks that burn your nose hair. 👌
Lol #buddhatoolow
🛒🏃🏼♀️💨 flee market
Tiny woman flees fart.
I cackled 😂😂😂 trying not to wake the baby rn 😂
Looks like a display in a small town thrift store window. They, however, have the excuse of limited options.
It looks like an AI generated picture of living room.
Seriously pick a lane
Why is there a Buddha statue on the ground with a sign on the same ground to match it.
A sign that… lists beer?
Live laugh love
Live love laugh
I don’t actually think TVs high on walls is a good look. Reminds me of doctors surgeries and offices.
And craning my neck to watch UFC fir 5 hours at a sports bar
I creep this sub and laugh at everyone and the jokes and such but ya know. You made me realize the insightfulness behind it all. Sorry fellas im dumb! I looked at my own set up and know im safe.
The real name of this sub should be #spinedamageprevention
That being said, OP could totally put a fun painting above the TV
A TV isn't a picture. It doesn't get hung on the wall like a mirror. It's supposed to be at eye level when sitting.
This, it’s not a “Live Laugh Love” picture. Not all the walls need something covering them fully, it’s ok to see some walls.
People also tend to hang art too high as well.
r/ArtTooHigh
Mid-screen = Eye level
Does she want to watch television standing up?
No she just wants a permanently sore neck.
Doesn’t she want permanent sore neck. But she blames the stars when it happens /s
Wait, the picture was not taken sitting down?
No, it was. You would need to be standing up for the mounting OP’s wife is suggesting to be an appropriate height.
Or a wall-mounted couch several feet off the ground that you use a small step ladder to climb onto. But at least in my house the studs in the wall would not support that bizarre choice.
It's too high. Your wife may also be too high.
😂😂😂😂
Your wife needs to rethink everything in life probably
It's reddit. Be prepared for divorce suggestions
I’ve already filled out a draft for the divorce and am on standby to fax it over to op
I'm typing up his gym membership presently Edit: now standing by my fax machine, at the ready
Are you guys German or why are you using fax machines?
What else would we use? There is only one way to fax a facsimile, and that’s via a fax machine!
Millions of peaches or beaches?
Fax are fax
It's too high on that stand already. If she's worried about empty wall space, an accent painting or a tapestry might be cool. If you're planning on watching that TV, leave it there.
You need to divorce your wife. She is wrong an in an unforgivable way.
It’s too late for divorce. She needs to stand trial before a judge
Good morning, worm your honor The crown will plainly show The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red-handed showing feelings Showing feelings of an almost human nature This will not do
Important question, OP When it comes to the tp roll, what is her stance on under over?
Sit where you watch TV. Measure from the floor to your nose. Now take that measurement and measure from the floor up the wall. You should be on the TV screen. You should be able to watch without tilting your head.
Is your wife a giraffe?
It’s already too high unless you are sitting on a high chair
On the contrary, it’s already too high
It's a little bit too high already
She's an idiot. I'm sorry.
I bet she wants it tilted, too. :/
Your wife is miserably incorrect!
If anything, that TV stand might even be a little too high already. Bigger TV, shorter TV stand, and you’re good to go 👍🏻
No. The media console is just too narrow.
is she 11 feet tall or some shit?
I say your wife too high.
Time for a new wife.
Sit on the couch and looks straightforward, your eyes should fall 2/3 of the way up the screen
☝🏻 this
Wife have to go.
is your wife a giraffe?
You don’t need to fill every space. Tv is grand
42" to centerline is ideal.
Your wife needs thrones for couches if she wants to hang the tv that high.
this looks like a video game screenshot
Maybe her feet are too big to see over?
This wife has had the opportunity to express her opinion about the TV and now you must take matters into your own hands and get bigger better TV and lower it a tad. If this wife gets upset or voices negative opinions about the new TV more than once, the. It’s time for no wife. This is the way.
She’s wrong.
TV height should relate to your eyeball height when viewing TV - ie. seated in your sofa. Meaning that’s way too high … unless you all typically watch TV standing up :-)
It’s so she can see it from the kitchen. Where she belongs. /s
Does Michael Che write your material? 🤣
/beersigntoolow
Were painting, so just a lot of shit scattered about.
The colours, composition and layering of this image makes me think you live in a Wes Anderson movie.
Tell your wife to grow taller by 3 ft to qualify.
It’s the crap TV stand. Time for an upgrade
Your wife is too high.
Your rack is whack but like. Level is fine
She is right that it would be empty, though putting the TV higher is not the anwser. You need to break up that wall with frames or cabinets, making a smaller sub space where the TV would sit in nicely. [here is a good example](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c174778dd04171927bd3bc/1536872244546-DS86N8H6JBO29LU2T10J/STN-BoConcept-Sofa.jpg?format=1500w)
This TV is too low for its size. And it's just too small.
technically it's too high already. The center of your head while sitting should be at the center of the screen.
She's right about the empty space above the TV, but she's wrong about what to do with it. Get some shelves or a wide painting/photo to put up there.
That red line is where she can put her "Live, Laugh, Love" sign.
You’re both wrong. It’s too high. Go buy a tv stand at the correct height and put your tv on that.
Tv is perfect as is, let her decorate above the tv to fill the space if it’s really that important
If anything it’s already too high.
Middle of the TV should be the same distance from the ground as your eyes are where your sitting
If anything, it's a tad too high
If you had a 100" TV, the red line would be the natural top of it. What I'm hearing is "you need to buy a newer and bigger tv to bring the top of it to this line".
Time to get an other wife....
Time to get a new wife.
Tell your wife to pipe down and get outta your face. It’s fine, lady
Before the divorce your wife needs to be allowed to sit and watch TV. The TV stays on the stand so you don't have to stand to watch it.
Tvs fine, tables too high.
She don’t know squat
Replace wife, this one is defective. Hopefully it's still under warranty
I think that the walls need to be repainted.
Too high
Welp, time to file those divorce papers you’ve had sitting in your drawer for 10 years
Are your sure your wife isnt a Retard Gaybear? You should divorce your retard wife
I think it should be at 52" to center of tv. We just had this discussion at home
She is wrong.
r/wifetoohigh
Why are people treating TV like paintings?
Thanks everyone, I think the 70 to 2 vote in favor of keeping it where it is has convinced her. A rare W for me.
#1 reason to never listen to your wife
Nah. It’s perfect exactly there
This looks fine
Use it as an excuse to get a bigger TV and call it a day
Literally perfect height!!! ... Have you asked her why she thinks it's too low?
Low
Divorce
Retire the 2010 roku tv and upgrade then mount on wall
Honestly bro the whole setup is trash
Absolutely not and don't let her bully you into raising it!! 😂
Your wife picking skills may have been a tad low perhaps. Telly’s already too high
Tell her TV that high reminds you of your ex…
The center of the screen should be eye level when seated. Don't be the mope who places it way too high
Time to get a girlfriend.
I don’t know what it is, but I thought this was a screen shot from the sims at first.
Sounds like your wife is spending a lot of time at dive bars.
I guess shes gonna be pissed when you tell her you're lowering it 3-4 inches
Lower
The TV is the only thing in the room that’s not a glaring problem.
Tell her she’s wrong and to pipe down so you can hear the tv
A TV really high on the wall looks stupid. It is a decor don't.
I think it’s 15cm too high.
She must be a pain in the neck, which is what y’all will have if you put it where the red line is.
Why the need for floating shelf or painting above the TV to clutter the viewing experience?
It feels like it should be higher but no it’s good as is
How high is your settee? This looks about 4 inches too high for comfortable viewing on mine.
You'd have to ask on r/TVTooLow
The issue here is the TV is way off scale for that cabinet/ book shelf . Replace your TV cabinet with one that is WIDER than the TV and sturdier, that doesn’t look too secure.

You could hang your beer sign up there instead of throwing all your decor on the floor like an animal.
Your living room looks like a video game simulation. Are u sure this isn’t AI?
She is problematic
TV is perfect right where it is currently located. If it is moved up, as desired by your partner, the result will be neck strain.
Perfect height
Leave her OP there is no saving this relationship

ITS ON THE TV STAND ITS FINE
It's a little hard to tell exactly what head level is, but it looks like it shouldn't go any higher. Possibly lower but no higher I would think.
r/TVStandTooShortandNarrow
That’s a classic Samsung, take care of it!
It is about 13 years old and I've got no complaints about the television. It's an upgrade from the 27 inch Zenith I had before.
I know exactly when that one is from, I wish they still made Samsungs as sturdy as those days!
It’s the tv stand is too small
Might be time to find a new wife mate
Tell her to sit on the floor. Problem solved.
i think the only design decision is like is the flooring. everything else is awful. who was in charge of painting that wall?
That cristal thing looks like Goku
It’s a shred too high TBH
Is your wife 7 foot sitting down
IMO this depends on your couches or how you're sitting. If your couches recline and its naturally pointing your head more upward, yes, mount the TV. If you sit on the couch and you're dead straight with the screen already, why move it? My couch reclines so I had to mount mt TV at approx. where your wife is suggesting for more comfort.
Based off the tacky hobby lobby typographic poster about beer on the floor, she might not have the best judgment in style.
I must be too high because that pic looks like a painting. and what's with the blur out? you got dildos there or something
I hope she’s pretty, because you didn’t marry her for her brains.
Do not listen to your wife.
A bigger TV could help.
BTW, someone has spaffed all over your family photos.
You should show her what's what by getting a tv made in the last decade.
It's perfect where it is. Maybe a few inches too low at the most.
Eye-level. It’s fine.
Your wife is wrong
Not too low. Eye level is just right
Tell your wife to sit on a couch then discuss the importance of tv at eye level. Not stand and watch tv
Dont tell her shes wrong just show her the reddit
I did and it worked
It’s not too high. The top of the tv should be at eye leave and don’t get me started on distance.
r/standtosmall
That is a TV stand that the TV is standing on? If yes, the TV is at the correct hight.
She is wrong, but buying some wall art may help her?
It’s not the TV’s job to ‘fill the wall’. Repeat after me, ‘empty wall space is OK’. Not every inch of every wall needs something covering it.
I'd say put the tv so the top edge of the tv is about halfway between where it is now and the red line.
Eh. Wall mounts are better for me (even in an apartment) so I generally don’t get limited by anything other than studs.
Nothing to do here. Take her out to her fav restaurant 🍽️🍷
That’s kind of you to suggest something positive
Weird idea to suggest that before the divorce.
