I definitely envy that lol
My back would be screaming
It’s probably the only way you can be semi-comfortable watching a TV over a fireplace tho.
My partner is a tv on the fireplace mantel viewed from a distance kind of guy. I’m a tv at or near eye level while sitting on the couch and viewed from a responsibly close distance kind of guy.
So we compromised, and placed the tv on the fireplace mantel all the way across the room from the couch.
I guess I’d fit in quite well in a tvtoohigh community.
False. Any good lounge should have you reclined and looking naturally towards the joint between the wall and ceiling. Having a tv that is at eye line while you are sitting vertically is not comfortable when you are lounging. You end up crooking your neck down.
It’s apples and oranges for how you prefer to lounge, but I hate TVs placed even with eye-level while I’m standing if I am in a legit lounge. I recognize that other people like to be more vertical while they sit, as I’ve had this argument with a close friend… but for me, the lounge is king.

How could that even work? If you hang your TV that high then the ‘horizontal plane’ (from your eyes to the screen) would be diagonally across the room. You’d need a really weirdly shaped room. Where do you place your front height speakers? They would have to be above where the ceiling is and your rear speakers would effectively need to be below floor level.
My GERD would have all that pizza immediately backwashing into my mouth if I were to lie down and eat like that
Enter my life:
Bedridden from chronic illness + Severe GERD
I swear to god I got fucking cursed so bad. I don’t think shit’s tasted normal in years, everything sour and nauseating.
I wouldn’t last more than 45 min with a setup like that. I’m falling asleep immediately.
I am over 40, and I still do stuff like that. I always wondered where the line of crossing over from child to adult would be, but I haven’t found it still.
You’d be surprised!
I went to one years ago, based on sharing food and smoking weed, and we were all up until well after 2 a.m. The youngest was 29-something and the oldest well past 80. We had so much fun.
I’ve seen a 70 year old be an active member in an university student organisation
There is a rule about putting a TV over a fireplace though…
For as long as I know people who will accept the invite, I will continue to ask friends to come over and play video games all night.
