r/TVTooHigh • u/Significant_Math911 • 1d ago
Given I'm reclined most of the time, I'm curious if you guys think the TV is TOO high...
I set my tv on top of the speakers because I can't put holes in the wall, it also helps seeing above the monitor and laptop, but I'm always worried it's TOO high. Would love some feedback!

Ok, tough love here. There’s a lot to unpack. Remember, I love you.
GET IT TOGETHER!. ahem sorry. You should have stopped with the first photo. The rest just gets worse. It’s like when the news shows TOO graphic photos of a heinous, violent crime.
From a place of love, like the unconditional love of the mother of a degenerate mass murderer, I have to just focus on one solution at a time. So let’s tackle this.
What the fucking fuck are all these sprite cans and A PLATE AND CONDIMENT SAUCER in front of your center channel DOING THERE. Get your life together, son. I love you. Maybe. IDK, I gotta think about that one…

Nah you're right 100% in my defence I only run the sound system when I have everything cleared off. I use sprite as a crutch. When I wanna drink booze I pound a can of sprite and stack it there Instead of on the coffee table. It's a bad habit i know, but when I clear it off it's like the sound of God in my ears. trust me when I say it's been 100X worse haha

u/ResourceOk8638 1d ago
You know what’s a good habit? Slamming a mini sprite instead of booze! Now, let’s get you a can crusher, and then it’ll be fun to get rid of the cans! That sound system deserves to SING! Let her work, son. 🥰

u/Scomo510 1d ago
Those ain't mini sprites those are full sized cans. I do agree with the can crusher though my buddy has a hydraulic one in their pull barn and it gets me cleaning up after other people because I love using it.

I do it purely by foot. I get much more satisfaction doing it manually over a mechanical process. If it means anything that's 1 day of cans and my night plates. I soak and clean them in the mornings...

u/HouStoned42 1d ago
Go for La Croix or Bubbly or some other soda water. Also, if something will take next to no time and drastically improve your living situation, take the time to get it done. It'll take you literally less than a minute to grab a bag and chuck all those cans away. Hell, you could get the worst of that living room cleared in ten minutes and then you'll probably be significantly less compelled to slam beers / sprites all day.

You got this bro! Start small, make changes that feel manageable, and make changes that push your comfort level! Start building on those and you will do the damn thing!

u/quattroCrazy 1d ago
New idea: After pounding the Sprite, you cheer and crush the can (on your head for bonus points), then basketball shoot it into a recycling bin below a hoop in the corner. Viola! You’ve added like 3 more dopamine rewards and you’re keeping your room clean.

u/Significant_Math911 15h ago
As a basketball player and my youth this an amazing idea I didn't think of! Thank you!

Not a bad idea to replace a habit with something else, but switch to sprite zero. Excess sugar destroys your body in most of the same ways alcohol does.

u/Maximum_Way6342 21h ago
100% agree with you on the basic health side of sugar… but in no way will Sprite destroy your life the same way that booze does.

u/SDLivinGames 14h ago
Keep it up! Keep going back, it works.
Also, try bubbly water instead of sprite, much healthier. Get your sugars from fruits… dried mangos or frozen pineapple.
You could even dilute sprite by pouring it into regular bubble water. I do that with fountain machines.
But honestly, not drinking is more important right now than sprite or bubble water so just do what works. You got this!

u/PM_ME_UR_PSA10_LUGIA 6h ago
Hey buddy don’t listen to other people - everyone’s road to recovery looks different, and Reddit is very quick to judge. Keep building sustainable habits and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. If you can swap one of those daily Sprites for a La Croix instead you’re already onto something. Good luck.

Are you new here?
This group will roast you for everything in your room.. When I saw the pictures, I thought it couldn't be real because of all the roast bait.. Your replies have me mostly convinced otherwise.. But wow..
Personally, I haven't even posted mine yet because I need to dust first and I've got a couple of things on the floor I should probably put away first.
On the TV height thing, there are a couple of loopholes you get to exploit.. The recliner and also that it's a bedroom. So, you're double all good.
How is the Sprite filter on your sound system working? Any improvement in quality or interesting effects?

Open the shades and clean up your messy room. Try to clear the clutter and organize your desk in a better manner. That’s a chaotic layout. You don’t need that much shit. What are you depressed about? You seem to have all of your addictions at hand, I’m not saying you can’t be depressed, just curious.

Why would reclining not matter? If you like to watch TV while reclining, why would you want to bend your neck forward to watch TV? Serious question lol
Let the downvotes commence. No ragerts!

It's a little too high, and a little too far away, but since you're reclining that's not as bad. Far from the worst we've seen here!

I ready your posts. I realize you're battling several things right now so you won't hear me harping on the clutter. The TV isn't that bad. it should be lower, but really, it's no so high it's shocking.
You're battling depression, so maybe look at things a little differently. Your environment can add into or remove from the depression. You have yourself surrounded with things that help you battle it (television, gaming stuff, gadgets), but the clutter also probably helps contribute. Making things neat, uncluttered, and aesthetically pleasing will help a lot too. Take a small bit of time every day to change things. For 15 minutes, declutter. Just pick up something/anything and decide if you need it. Will you actually ever use it again or need it there? If not, get rid of it or box it. If you need it or will use it, is it in the best place? If so, it can stay. If it would look or be better elsewhere, move it. If the spot you're moving it to is cluttered, then shift your attention to something in that spot and work on that instead. Don't try to do the whole room, just randomly pick out an item or two in it and focus on the little things. It won't seem so overwhelming. Just a couple things a day will gradually leave you with an organized and neat environment that makes you feel good.
Which makes it about time I actually follow my own advice and clean out my "office".
--edit--
And congratulations on making the life changes you've made! That's really awesome and you should be proud!

Controversial take: nice room. I’ve seen much worse from way more put together individuals. Seems like you’re enjoying the things you like in life. Clean up a bit sure but that’s plates getting picked up eventually. Maybe some wire management, removing the box in the corner, vacuuming would help turn it around. Either removing that back desk or getting an L shape to fit everything would be nice.

u/GotWood2024 22h ago
I'm not going to judge you on your room and it's different purposes.
The third pic really shows the view line between the chair and TV, Not too high for you sitting at that angle.

You've got a point about reclining, it's similar to the exemption bedroom TVs have because you watch lying down.
But, I would say this TV is too small. Or too far, you choose.

Wipe out everything on the tv wall. Replace the thing under the tv with something about 12 inches shorter. (Can still have storage) Drop the tv height, spread the L and R speakers to the sides of this new piece (or honestly, mount them to the wall on either side of the tv) and drop the tv a good 10 inches. I have no idea what you use the monitor on the coffee table for…seems pointless. Whatever it is could be replaced with an older iPad, or anything TBH. The laptop is fine even with a lower tv. Remove the six packs of soda from directly in front of your center speaker.
That’s the Quick Look answer.
