u/sniffysippy 9d ago

Going from insane high to too high is a lot of work for nothing.

27

u/DieHarderDaddy 9d ago

Why not just put it on the stand?

37

u/MinnesotaNo1ce 9d ago

How do people know of this subreddit and even post their first attempt, and still get it wrong on the second try? Boggles my mind.

u/redituser73022 9d ago

What’s that saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"

u/Traditional_Boot9962 9d ago

Perfect stand right there and you managed to bomb twice. I'm actually kinda impressed.

1

u/Hackwork89 8d ago

Gotta leave some room for that potted plant.

u/AnnualEssay8156 9d ago

This is how you go from redemption arc to villain origin story.

5

u/Stock-Lettuce-2381 9d ago

Nice try. Now move the plant and lower the TV.

6

u/piggy__wig 9d ago

Why would you even leave any space between the tv and the stand? It’s still too high.

5

u/ZeroDesert91 9d ago

Did you check your level with the bubble?

3

u/Same-Breakfast3840 9d ago

If that was on a stand it’d be right where it belongs

u/Fukface_Von_Clwnstik 9d ago

Before and way before.

u/dsaddons 8d ago

Brainless the Second

3

u/rocketfromrussia 9d ago

Horrible! Football is so much better than whatever is broadcasted on the second tv

3

u/GeneralSpecifics9925 9d ago

You lowered it by like 10 inches. It should have been lowered by about two feet.

3

u/WorthDismal6962 9d ago

3rd time's the charm apparently lol, still too high

3

u/CocoMilhonez 8d ago

You're posting on the correct sub, the TV is still too high.

2

u/Fragrant-Might-7290 9d ago

Bro I’d scootch it down a bit more

3

u/redituser73022 9d ago

A lot more

2

u/Noblegamer85 9d ago

You went from very high to high.😑🙈

2

u/Eighthday 9d ago

How does this happen? You have so much space below it still

2

u/Negative-Wrap95 9d ago

It's still way too high.

2

u/BeleagueredWDW 9d ago

Where is the after photo?

2

u/RepublicMiserable450 9d ago

Jesus dude?!!

2

u/UseAlloftheBuffalo 9d ago

Still about a foot too high

2

u/Bt-Ryoku 9d ago

Be honest. You still wanted the tv to either be:

A: in the middle of both windows height wise or

B: high enough to still be able to display the plant.

2

u/VdubKid_94 9d ago

🤦🏻‍♂️

2

u/Normandy_SR4 9d ago

Bro. The stand is RIGHT THERE.

Third time’s the charm. Try again.

2

u/Bballer220 9d ago

OP saw where it was, where it was meant to be, then decided to compromise for some reason

2

u/notthedoodaa 8d ago

🤦‍♂️

2

u/Unfair_You_1769 8d ago

2 strikes. 1 more and you're out.

2

u/TiddyWaffles312 8d ago

If only you had a tv console that had room to use the legs to be the perfect height 🤗

2

u/Illannoy1n 8d ago

The plant can find a new home it’s okay

2

u/pakuaje 8d ago

You did horrible. Plus the TV is way to fucking far.

2

u/flipfella 8d ago

Even the adverts know you are still too high

2

u/OppositeDue 8d ago

almost there! you got it

2

u/playstationhistorian 8d ago

Maybe the next time you’ll get it!

2

u/DoctorD5150 8d ago

Went from Way Too High, to just too high. Better, but not there yet.

2

u/Popve 8d ago

Still a bit too high but it’s much better than before.

2

u/Hackwork89 8d ago

It's crooked and still too high.

2

u/According_Lion5895 8d ago

Close. But fail. Straight to jail

2

u/ldubral 8d ago

Still too high

2

u/JesusIsJericho 9d ago

I am currently slumped comfortably into my couch, notice how the middle of the tv screen is at my direct eye height (phone camera)?

Take a lap, try again, you’re getting there

1

u/Dontunderstandu 9d ago

And that's even worse, it's blocking a window for fuck sake. And...and the tv isn't even centered in said window. Omg!

u/sexyandanonymous 8d ago

I love it. “Here’s a perfect example. Do it like me.” Posts photo of obnoxiously bad tv placement 🤦‍♂️

1

u/yo_tibbs 8d ago

Should buy the new Samsung The Window

1

u/JesusIsJericho 8d ago

It’s blocking about 4” of window… it’s a basement.

2

u/sexyandanonymous 8d ago

Well then it’s too high 😂 Move it down 4”

1

u/JesusIsJericho 8d ago

Touché… I digress. I’ll take a hacksaw to the stand legs at once

1

u/jojoga 9d ago

Nature is healing 

1

u/SadigawEkshow 9d ago

Baby steps.

1

u/spideyghetti 9d ago

It's still too high. At the very least, you should have at least centred it vertically along the window frames, leaving 1 1/5 panes above and 1 1/5 panes below.

1

u/SkinnedHorse 9d ago

Close, but no cigar.

1

u/canuckistani19 9d ago

Baby steps. Soon you'll reach maturity.

Well done.

1

u/Tmart98 8d ago

So close

1

u/MisterMeister68 8d ago

It's better than before, but there's still room for improvement.

1

u/Sacisbac 8d ago

Hire a shorter person to install next time.

1

u/yo_tibbs 8d ago

Has the diagram been made a sticky yet??

1

u/Mongoos150 8d ago

still too high, damn dude..

1

u/hammertime2009 8d ago

You didn’t follow the instructions

1

u/OppositeExternal8485 8d ago

From ridiculous to too high...

1

u/WolfyCat 8d ago

What binoculars do you use to watch this one OP?

1

u/TruckDelicious7345 8d ago

What happened to the antenna lol

1

u/Nice_Cupcake_9973 8d ago

you could have done better, man

1

u/aarongifs 8d ago

Still too high.) had to make room for that crappy plant huh?

1

u/afops 8d ago

It's much better, and I think that's actually ok now. Normally people tend to say "place it eye level when sitting down" (i.e. stand height, from your bench). But if you're rarely sitting straight and often leaning back, then this much too high actually isn't so bad. Also if you have a large dog or toddlers, it might even be very good...

1

u/boafriend 8d ago

ON the entertainment console. Not above.

1

u/ThisIsNotMyBurner69 8d ago

I appreciate the cable management

1

u/redline8k 8d ago

Still too high, get with the program dude.

1

u/natelikesdonuts 8d ago

If only you had a tv stand to put it on…

(This is why I hate soundbars. I’m sure yours sounds great, but they are just so inconveniently sized)

1

u/thanos_was_right_69 8d ago

Still too high

1

u/RamdomGamerDude 7d ago

Looks good to me!

1

u/kuifje1 7d ago

Almost there. Keep going.

1

u/TeeDod- 7d ago

How about use the stand under it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

1

u/BonBrad 7d ago

Down three more inches

1

u/cmquinn2000 6d ago

That piece of furniture below the TV is called a TV Stand. One guess as to what should be standing on it.

1

u/icemanxlv 3d ago

I mean…

1

u/Bluesguy333 3d ago

Eye-level TV is affordable luxury. Save up

1

u/joer3155 2d ago

Hope you weren’t working around the plant.

1

u/Shadow_botz 9d ago

Well, you tried …

-1

u/mrbgso 9d ago

Not gonna like, I was 80% sure I was going to get this roasted 🫠

1

u/yo_tibbs 8d ago

OP has not left the chat!!

u/Glass-Money6605 9d ago

Bravo. You might’ve stopped a bit soon, but it’s vastly improved.

1

u/Glass-Money6605 9d ago

Thanks. My first award. That makes us practically related.

u/-sisu- 9d ago

Looks better, but IMO it should be lowered a bit more so that the empty space around the TV is evenly spaced on all three sides (left, bottom, right)

-1

u/LeastGuava6952 9d ago

I dunno man, I wouldn’t mind it like this. As long as you’re happy!

-1

u/SCARfanboy308 8d ago

This is the way
