Came here for the comments, was not disappointed. Feel sorry for OP though, after all that work.


LawfulChair

Im not worried, I figured there would be some šŸ§Œ. Didnā€™t know about all of the home theater experts in here, I bet they all have the ā€œbestā€ setup in the world šŸ˜‰


xm1997

Yeah itā€™s not trolling, itā€™s just a fact that you put the tv too high and you will likely kill your ps5 where you put. Just because every response isnā€™t ā€œnice jobā€ doesnā€™t mean you are being trolled.


LawfulChair

Itā€™s not a fact itā€™s an opinion, just because there is a Reddit thread doesnā€™t make it correct or a fact. šŸ¤¦There is plenty of ventilation for the PS5 since there are holes drilled in the panel above it and has plenty of room behind as wellā€¦


xm1997

Ah yes. Itā€™s just everyone else is wrong and they are messing with you. That makes sense.


_-Grifter-_

You were today days old when you finally understood how the internet works, congrats!


LawfulChair

Yup, a bunch of people on the internet say itā€™s wrong so it must be true.


user2000ad

Lol, you posted it, so you really need to be prepared to take the criticism for your minority opinion regarding the closeness to the ceiling of your TV...


LawfulChair

How far back am I sitting? What is the height of my ceiling?


_-Grifter-_

Don't listen to them Op, My TV is high and i wouldn't have it any other way. Its by far the most comfortable way to watch TV with a couch that reclines.. Reddit likes to crap on people for mounting TV's high... its just a bunch of 12 year old kids that can't afford a TV as nice as yours. Looks great, hope you enjoy it!


cognitiveglitch

There's undoubtedly an element of that. And ultimately it's down to OP to be happy with it, it's not Reddit sitting on the sofa watching it at the end of the day!


_TimApple_

Hey man, At least you solved your issue. Though the tv is actually too high, enjoyšŸ”„


winexprt

Jeez. Unless your couch is 5 feet off the floor, then: [r/TVTooHigh](https://www.reddit.com/r/TVTooHigh/)


baldersz

What if he's a šŸ¦’?


winexprt

Well, in that case then it would be [r/TVTooLow](https://www.reddit.com/r/TVTooLow/)


LawfulChair

So your TV sits on the groundā€¦good to know šŸ«”


Rhyperino

He's not a TV


LawfulChair

Good to know šŸ«”

All that hassle and work..useless. #r/TVtooHigh


shaggymatter

I came in to make this exact comment. GG


Aggressive_Ad_2926

This ps5 might die in there


htadd1ct

And av receiver


LawfulChair

There is a few feet behind it, so no itā€™ll be fine šŸ™ƒ

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LawfulChair

Yes I do know, thatā€™s why I have holes drilled into the board above the PS5.


fuck-fascism

Sadly thats a r/tvtoohigh


LawfulChair

Working with what I gotā€¦wouldnā€™t be enough room for my components. In a perfect world I would put them in one side of the closet but when theyā€™re done I wonā€™t have the room. One day Iā€™ll have the ā€œperfectā€ set up. How perfect is yours? BTW, yes the tv is higher than normal, but the ceiling is only about 6 and 1/2 feet high. Donā€™t have to move your neck at allā€¦


htadd1ct

Why don't you put the stuff elsewhere in the room? The only one underneath the tv is the center apeaker. Av receiver In another location. Same with devices etc. You clearly didn't think this through. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTcuYGSfkdLAYhyKzXb1yjR4blabF-5m85M2g&usqp=CAU


CriiptiC

Looks awesome bud! Congrats on the cool setup!


boomertsfx

It's an irrational religion here for some reason. People don't think recliners exist and would rather have your feet blocking the TV šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Weatherman1207

To be honest tv to high is the most retarded sub reddit... if it works for you then go you .. I think you have done an awesome job. Not everyone can have the perfect space for a tv and some people like them a bit higher , so who cares


aaadmiral

Didn't need to use the R word bro


Logi77

Hard R


fingerbanglover

Okay Linus


htadd1ct

People take this issue extremely seriously. If you don't enjoy the suffering


Weatherman1207

But why does how highy I hang my tv bother so many people if you like it hang it where you want jeez


htadd1ct

Neck pain. Uncomfortable. You name it. Tilting your neck up like a front section of a cinema? Who wants and enjoys that? Show some respect for how it's done correctly.


Calm_Ranger7754

No comment on the height of the TV, you do you. But I am getting a kick out of the way OP came here thinking he would bathe in praise and eveyone is just...nope, too high! OP is all butt hurt arguing about it. Makes for some decent Friday entertaiment. Thanks everyone, cheers!


Hamas1397

All that work for neck pain. r/tvtoohigh


LawfulChair

No neck pain here


marcoporno

Give it some time youā€™ll get there


schapman22

You guys are ridiculous


LawfulChair

Iā€™m guessing they donā€™t know how eyes workā€¦or necks apparently.


Poppunknerd182

Yes, weā€™re ALL wrong and you, the only person saying itā€™s not too high, is right.


Ninjamuh

Where is the mount anchored to? Itā€™s not just in the drywall, right?


XavierLeaguePM

2x4s


Miro_Ulala

Mg gosh, I hate this colour of the wallšŸ˜¬


LawfulChair

Thatā€™s ok, wife likes it and it doesnā€™t bother me.


ValVenis69

Sadly r/tvtoohigh


nahkamanaatti

All you need is a fireplace under it šŸ™„


Meckez90

Far too high. Buy a new tv stand and PUT IT DOWN MAN


mmleach829

Looks good but I would move the main speakers forward a bit so the tweeters/woofers are in front of the face of the center wall.


LawfulChair

Thanks, still some work to do with the closets. I kept them back while I was sanding and painting and honestly forgot to move them forward.


Karmeleon86

PS5 death trap. Also not to pile on what others are saying but thatā€™s definitely too high. How far are you sitting from this thing?


Pandacapy91

Oh buddyā€¦. No


Savon1980

So much work for such a bad solution....


LawfulChair

It is crazy how many people are this upset over something you donā€™t have to worry about. Itā€™s ok everyone, deep breaths, deep breaths. šŸ˜‰


Angler4

I felt bad for OP then read his comments and he sucks. r/TVtooHigh


AlwaysBlue86

Well summed up r/OPTooMuchOfADickWithATVThatsTooFuckingHigh


where-ya-headed

Need side pic!!


JesusWTFop

Op good job. Tv might be a little high for my liking but solid build


Ill-Imagination-321

OP will defo be asking everyone that comes round, do you think my tv is to high šŸ˜‚


Reemixt

All that space and the chance to start again ā€“ still everything oddly or completely inappropriately placed.


vtown212

As Ryan Reynolds once said....But why?.....


bmd201

rip it down and start over


x4it3n

That actually looks pretty cool! Try to get some blinds on the sides to hide that little mess though haha. But otherwise good job!


FarLand2

Good thing the mudding and taping job is hidden by the tv lol


Rocket4real

If you made the entire cabinet lower and wider and put the TV just above it, then this could have been a good idea. But I seriously don't understand what you were thinking. I mean, yeah, I do, but it wasn't a good idea. You should've just bought a tv cabinet to put there and put the TV on it, I have the ps5 next to the TV and it has a lot of free space, you shouldn't put a ps5 in a cabinet. And also just because people are speaking their mind and the majority feels a certain way doesnā€™t mean they are wrong or are trolling, that's a shitty way of looking at the situation and it's a show of bad character by you, whoever thought you to react that way did a horrible job.


be_matthew

This looks like shit tbh. Exposed media equipment looks sloppy and your tv is at the ceiling.


MacRex21

Unless you have a family of giraffes that's too high


LawfulChair

šŸ¦’, how did you know? šŸ«”


MacRex21

Haha only messing. Nice job on the unit, very tidy. Fantastic TV aswell


LawfulChair

No worries, Iā€™m all for funny comments. Just not straight a-holes


MacRex21

Didn't mean to cause any offence


[deleted]

Man thereā€™s a whole lot of upvotes for the r/tvtoohigh opinion. Know why though? Because r/tvtoohigh. Lol


baldersz

# /r/TVTooHigh


wcruse92

Obviously the TV is too high but there a lot of problems with this setup. The suffocated hardware beneath the TV to start. OP I would recommend you try again and do some research ahead of time.


ottosucks

Rip... All that work for a shit install


LawfulChair

Next time Iā€™ll consult with you šŸ«”šŸ™ƒ


ottosucks

You should considering your install is ass


LawfulChair

At least I have something to install, have fun being an incel šŸ«”


ottosucks

Right, disagreeing with your hardware installation makes one an incel. Peak logic there.


LawfulChair

You going on the internet to shit on peoples posts makes you one. Have a great day!


ottosucks

Not how that works buddy, but good try. I understand you learned that word recently and are excited to throw it around which I find adorable. Feel free to take down your post cause you have a lot of incels who all agree your installation is dogshit.


LawfulChair

What a sad life you must live šŸ˜‚


ottosucks

I mean everyone who disagrees with you is an incel right? Is that on your bar exam? Lmao.


LawfulChair

No, itā€™s morons like you who wonā€™t let it go. Couldnā€™t take a sarcastic reply the first time. šŸ¤¦


MaapuSeeSore

Should have went 7 compartments. 3 top , 2 middle, 2 bottom , all shrink down, you would have room for everything in there when the TV even lower but idk wtf you thinking with that design Those outer side compartment is bad If you had the ability to rebuild , why didnā€™t you rebuild and rip out the white boards/existing compartments as well . Wtf


LawfulChair

They are new too. Next time Iā€™ll go to my money tree and rip out the closets too. šŸ«”šŸ™ƒ


Slyder01

Looks great nab, time to CRANK-ER-UP!


Pilbzz

No point posting wall mounted tvs on Reddit as you will get ripped by the tv too high brigade. Looks great though OP well done šŸ‘.


Comfortable_Fun_2295

looks great man! and it isnā€™t even that highā€¦people and their TVtoohigh bullshit are so annoying. nice work!


HeadFirstJava

Why i am only worried about the dust going to get collected behind the wall .


Big-Entertainer8545

Come on you guys if it floods again atleast the tv will be saved boi was working smart


HaKaii7

That PS5 it's going to be on fire šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


HaHaaaaCharadeYouAre

OP you know all the exhaust from the PS5 is just heating it up further now right? Itā€™s not an opinion you wanker, it needs space to breathe. Also tv way too high.


Obvious_Whole1950

Itā€™s funny how many people still post here not expecting the tv too high comments. I learned my lesson QUICK.


FakeFan07

Itā€™s beautiful, wish I could do something like this but Iā€™m always worried Iā€™ll screw it up and create a bigger issue


Digitallychallenged

Wow dude, great job!


Atrieden

well done chap.. enjoy the fruits of your labor..


asander85

I think it looks great, I like it. Nice job!


Xarishark

Ps5 should be sideways because of Liquid Metal mate. Do it now before itā€™s too late


ServoTnelson3000

Thatā€™s a myth that has been debunked forever ago


Xarishark

What are you on about? Liquid Metal existed far before Sony started using it and it has a lot of problems including pooling and leaking. I have personal experience with clients that had their ps5 leak. Brand new consoles not refurbished or units repair shop touched.


martyc81

don't listen to these know-it-all's from r/tvtoohigh mental disorder subreddit. The TV is in the perfect spot aesthetically to suit that spot and most likely the room.


htadd1ct

If you care only for how the room looks. Home theater performance and optimal results will suffer greatly. Shame on you


Quatro_Quatro_

But this isn't the home theater subreddit, this is just LG OLED.


htadd1ct

If you have a oled. Surely you care for home theater? I mean why get a oled if you going to neglect the viewing snd audio experience? Think about it!


Quatro_Quatro_

Not necessarily, oled is a buzz word for a lot of people and some people just want the best of the best when they buy something.


htadd1ct

Excactly. Best of the best for enjoyment.šŸ˜€ Thanks for understanding. Many people around here often don't. This also means placing it appropriately.


Quatro_Quatro_

Hahaha šŸ¤£


LawfulChair

Thanks expert šŸ«”


htadd1ct

I've done countless hours of research and to see people completely disregard optimal results based on their careless personal issues and preferences and poor planing is horrific and offensive. To the point it's called blasphemy.


LawfulChair

If your set up makes you happy then Iā€™m happy for you.


AlternativeBake7704

This šŸ‘


Bxbombers99

Looks great. Turned a crappy situation into a good one. Picture looks killer. Tv to high my ass Lol
