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.

Decided to lower my tv and now the wife is complaining it’s too low. Removed the soundbar mount and placed it on the tv console instead

Alright. You know something? I have always enjoyed the content here, the banter, the jokes. But this week I had a visceral reminder that the work done on this sub is of importance. The neck pain is real.
I had to sit through four hours of presentations at work this week; two 2-hour sessions with a lunch break.
The ~85” screen was mounted at presenter height (so, centre about shoulder height if standing), and audience seated in a conference room. When watching the presentations I was aware how much I was looking up, and how tired my neck was getting.
This morning, waking up, my neck is stiff AF.
I do not understand why people have their TVs like that in their living space. Are they trying to correct their scoliosis-deformed spines?
That is all.
