    So what you're saying is, people with messy hair are more likely to have TVs that are too high.

    I just shaved my head and now I can watch TV soooo much better.

    I dunno, this visual aid doesn’t illustrate if the subjects are standing or sitting.

    Sitting: Good - Bad

    Standing: Bad - Very Bad

    I recline friendo, and look slightly up when I do.

    I don’t watch Tv with my chin on my chest because some pedantic subreddit bullied me into something.

    I think you've wildly misinterpreted this sub, friend.

    It's wild how many living rooms go straight for the "bad" example.

    So if you sit in a reclining chair the TV should be near the roof? Got it!

    You are missing the looking down with your neck bent = bad for completing the meme

    What I'm gathering is everyone in this sub is actually a little person and wants their TV sitting on the floor. Y'all are outrageous.

    Honestly at this point I just presume anyone with a tv above the mantel or otherwise too high is just used to the neck position for opening up their throat for... sword swallowing

    This is a good general rule but there are exceptions.

    We look down all day so looking up to watch tv counters it. Science.

    Not if you’re laying back on a coach. You’ll see when I post mine here later this month.

    Have you tried looking up with your eyes for an hour without moving your head???

    Yep, and it’s pretty damn easy when I’m sitting on a couch where I’m naturally reclined back a little bit anyway

    Does everybody in this sub sit up while watching TV?

    I slouch but my head doesn't go up 45 degrees just because I do?

    parent root

    Yes, and if you don’t sit at a perfect 90° angle you’ll go blind.

    I agree with the meme, but I’d like to add one other panel: looking down at 45 degrees is equally bad. If you watch tv reclining in a couch or lying in bed and you watch a tv at this sub’s “perfect” height, you’re doing exactly that. In that use case, a higher tv makes sense.

    parent
    1 points Francl27

    No because you still see the TV from the bottom, which is not ideal.

    parent root

    If reclining and viewing a higher mounted tv while your neck is in a neutral position, how would you see the tv “from the bottom”?

    parent root
    1 points Francl27

    Because it's too high and you have to look up at it?
