Generally accepted TV placement procedures. Quick reference guide.

Lots of people posting lately asking “Is this too high?” so here is a quick guide on what is generally accepted TV placement procedure (GATPP) as seemingly defined by this subreddit.
- If the TV is above the fireplace, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is mounted to the wall above a TV stand, and the clearance between the stand and TV is equal to, or greater than ONE vertical PS5, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH.
Now let’s look at some opposite GATPP use cases.
- If the TV is in a bedroom and meant to be viewed from the bed, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV’s only viewing position is in the reclined state, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If you are at a sports bar, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is at eye level when sitting down, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is in the kitchen it is more for listening, mounted high as to avoid any splashes or spills, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is purposely mounted higher to keep out of range of a toddler, you’re a parent so your neck already hurts and IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
I hope this helps clear up some questions. If you have any other rules to add, please comment below.

She says it is too low but I feel like it’s just about perfect. What does the internet think?

Definitely too high but this is where the last owners had it mounted. Better than over the fire place though.

Thought I'd try here!
I have a dresser than I plan to move into my very small room. The dresser is about 5 ft tall.
I want to place my TV on top of thos dresser. I have down the measurements in the room and I have about 3 - 4 inches to spare afterwards!!
My question is this. If I'm lying in bed trying to watch TV, I worry it will be too high. Is there a safe way to give it say about a 2-3 inch tilt?

I could mount it exactly where it is, but what’s the point of that at this point? Keep it on the feet are that one, the outlet is above it so there’s no cords on the mantle for cable management.
Thoughts?

New build so the mantle could have been designed to be lower. Love this place but ow… hard to watch anything.

Just installed this 75 incher. It maybe needs to be a couple of inches lower. Thoughts?
Edit: This room is not yet finished if you (judging from the comments) couldn't tell so furniture placement and props are not finalised. Secondly the reason the tv is not standing on my beautiful bespoke console is because the surface is too narrow for the tv legs. It is however a perfect for my jbl 1000 soundbar and my pet rocks to sit on
Edit 2: I love how divided this community is lmao. Reading the comments is really entertaining yall, keep em coming
