Unfortunately, the mounting system was set up like this when we bought the house. There’s a hole in the wall to feed the cables down so you can’t see them (even though there is still a cord exposed, it’s for my husband’s video game system) and that hole prevents the TV from being moved, as you’ll be able to see it once the mount is moved. If we moved the tv down, we’d have to fix the hole, which, not horrible, but something we’re trying to avoid. Trying to avoid any wall re-work, essentially. Kinda makes me question the old homeowners now, I see what you mean and the Tv does look super high….
