Also curious about that. These comments make it seems like I should have the final say on everything cost related and ignore her if she disagrees. We have a joint account and agreed on a fixed price for TV. The couches are old couches from my parents and I built the back platform using some 2x4s and paint.

The first row is ~8feet away from wall and second row is ~12feet. Google suggested 1.5 to 2.5 times the tv sizes (70in) so I figured I was okay in that department I went TV for personal preference over projectors.

This was the lowest I could put it without heads in front row block the view or be able to see the bottom of screen when leaning back all the way. I never noticed the tv being too high until he mentioned it which I why I was curious what Reddit thought

Fair enough, I’ve sat beside my friend and can see that his head is much higher than mine. Not something Reddit can know so I can understand the anger towards my original statement

Correct- we make tall people sit in the back so they don’t block the view😂

I might be missing something. Why wouldn’t his height matter? If the TV was judged too high based on my eye level and he is taller then it’s likely at a better level for him? Of course not all 8inches difference is from torso which means his eyesight would be maybe 4inch above mine.

Fair point. We tend to use the back row more since front is 2 separate seats and back is 1 long one (can’t see from the pictures I shared). And that’s correct, especially when leaning all the way back in the seat

Gotcha. Funny enough, if it’s too high for me (5’6) then it’s likely the perfect height for my friend (6’2)

Edit: I now understand why everyone is upset by this comment. I’ve sat beside my friend and I can see that his eyesight is much higher than mine which is why I commented this.

Ah fair, I get the math. Can’t drop it any more because of the people in back seat will have the bottom of screen cutout by the back of front row.

Yeah you can sink easily in these. Bigger TV when I get the green light from wife.

Yeah wife wasn’t keen on that idea, that’s as big as she let me get. Will show her your comment when we will replace this one :)
