It lasted a week, it’s at eye level now. TVs at high level are ok in pubs that’s all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I P Knightley Posted June 16 We've got one above the fireplace; there is no other place for it. I thought it would take getting used to but a big telly can be viewed equally well from anywhere. Lower risk of double chins as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bull's-eye Posted June 16 Got my TV on an adjustable/movable stand that has locking wheels. Can basically put it where i like at a height that suits the ambience of the surroundings. Think it cost about £80? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hughesie27 Posted June 17 Just moved house and the previous folk built a false wall with a cut out to perfectly fit their TV so it was flush with the new wall. For some reason they had their TV quite high up. Looks great being able to have all the cables hidden inside the wall however our TV is 55" and too big to fit their "hole". So we have a new bracket that extends out and let's us angle it down so it points towards us and lessens the neck break. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be at eye height when you are sitting down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlimOzturk Posted June 17 On the wall away from kids and at a nice level to watch. Each to their own and each to their own circumstances as well. Can save space for people with small households. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can save space for people with small households. For us, it's to do with the shape of the room rather than the size. Main lounge is about 6.5m long by 3.5m wide. Door is at one end and the other end, after about 4m opens out into a dining/conservatory type space. So no TV at that 'end' as we don't want to have it as an obstacle to the open space. Seating against two walls so only one other wall feasible. One end is where the door is; other end is an alcove with a bookcase in it, so that leaves the chimney breast above the fireplace as the only option. Looking around the house just now ('cos I'm feeling vulnerable and victimised over this), all our paintings, pictures, posters and photos are at similar heights so it's only the TV in the front room (which sits at a height of which the JKB masses would approve) that looks slightly out of place.

IronJambo Posted June 17 Needs to be eye level. It's no a picture or a mirror. It's place certainly isn't above a fireplace. Both our tellies are on the wall at eye level but I couldn't be hooped putting wires through walls. Trunking is sufficient. Mini sky q box is tucked behind the bedroom telly in a bracket on the wall though and it's really neat. The only thing going up the trunking on the wall is a 2 socket extension cable which is also tucked behind the TV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
