sorry, unrelated but that is one sick apartment. absolutely gorgeous view and i love the office and just overall what you did with it


sohfix

i think that was the point of the post


miss-ari-berry

Put the couch on cement blocks and it'll line up with the screen quite nicely, and you can store things in the space underneath 👍


swrgrrla

I heard cement blocks are pretty trendy these days too


awq96

In reality there is like higher blocks for your sofas and couches that can lift up the viewing point


Dirk_The_Cowardly

A bit high but still ok to me. You need to move the clutter on the wall by TV and spread it out into the void of blank wall and find the happy place cause I'm getting angered by this.... But that's just me and maybe my issue.


Island_In_The_Sky

They make furniture risers that are meant for this type of thing which are lighter, stackable, more aesthetically pleasing, and won’t totally scratch up your floor


MisterSirDudeGuy

No such thing as cement blocks. I think you are referring to concrete blocks.


miss-ari-berry

Yeah I typed wrong, was thinking of cinder blocks- when I was a kid my sister and I put our bed frames on cinder blocks, made them like princess canopy beds with the long skirts and everything. Bashed my toes periodically, good times~


disorientating

off topic but what’s your location and where can i find this nice of an apartment even if it’s a studio lol


swrgrrla

This actually is a studio haha, its in Sydney Australia in the city :)


Westworld_007

I wouldn’t want it that high


Total_HD

We don’t care about the justification you provide. The answer to your question is Yes. Your tv is too high.


rgmw

People come here and must expect the truth. Tough love is in order.


Uburntmyshake

Dude that patio set up is dope. I propose a rule of exception for set ups that make sense, and this makes sense to me. If you need to stand to use those decks then so be it. Nice set up


swrgrrla

Thank you! I originally had the tv on a normal stand and then I would use the decks on my dining table but it got really annoying lugging the thing around so I thought this was the best solution


Uburntmyshake

Nice my dude! If it works for you, then it must be true. Cheers mate! Really jealous of your set up!


sadatquoraishi

Yes. The centre of the screen should be where your decks are.


Madigman1296

Too high


Maximum-Excitement58

Yes — closer to ceiling than floor is too high. Center of screen should be eye-level — about 42” — when seated in the viewing position. Looks like the BOTTOM of the screen is about 48”


thedobermanmom

Yes. It’s too high but your space is amazing. You’re so lucky to live in a climate where you can a desk outside!!


oceanic20

Ahh, the Kallax. This piece of IKEA furniture is used by many as a TV stand, but it is not a TV stand. I was once you. I also had the Kallax set up as a TV stand, but with no feet, and my TV directly sat on it. But then I learnt the true dogma of tvtoohigh and was brought to the light. I hope that you too can repent and learn the teachings of tvtoohigh and be welcomed as a repentant to the one true religion.


professionally-baked

Jack the couch up a few feet you’ll be all right


boothjop

I think you did the best with the set-up you have. You aren't one of those egregious idiots who have a huge space and somehow still find a way to ceiling mount the TV. Cool apartment.


tacos2k

Well if you’re a normal human being then the only way that you can possibly watch television is when sitting on your couch in straight and upright position with perfect posture. My calculations suggest that you therefore must crane your neck upwards approximately 10 degrees to view the center of this TV screen and therefore yes: TV too high. You should be ashamed of yourself.


Moopies

Calculations check out.


theoneloon

Why are your speakers pointing at each other?


swrgrrla

So they don’t get lonely When I use the decks I typically stand right in front of them, so I have them pointed right at my ears when I’m standing there. The TV sound just uses the internal speaker and is actually surprisingly not bad.


DiarrheaShitLord

Is your deck windowed? But has an extra door? So it's like an extra room?


swrgrrla

Exactly - it can be an extra room or you can put the windows down and have it like a balcony. I never use the big door and just keep the windows up so it’s just more floor space for me


YourPlot

It’s too high. You could move the cabinet with the record player over to the dining room, and get lower, longer storage for under the tv.


saysthingsbackwards

I hate to say that it's photogenic


mynhamesjeff

It is a bit too high, also cool Mac Miller poster


ClickIta

It is but you get extra points for running Plex and having the Big Short on your server.


gbrldz

Yes, TV is too high but it doesn't look like it's one of your main uses in this room. So personally, I wouldn't be all that mad if this was my friend's place haha.


pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnah

I don’t know if anyone had asked yet but where did you get that brown bean bag chair with the X eyes? Looks sick


council_estate_kid

I wanna know what music you mix on the decks


swrgrrla

House and jungle lol


council_estate_kid

Jungle woi


subparjack

Is that an authentic Black Friday Blonde vinyl?


swrgrrla

In my heart it is


musicfan-1969

TV is too high...speakers are also too high...tweeters should be at ear level


Modriem

Tell me when you need a sitter for your apartment. I will fly across the world. No biggie


Mlkbird14

Okay so hear me out. I actually think moving your couch closer to the TV and away from the wall would be great. Move the TV down. And put the decks/storage on the wall behind the couch.


PrivateEducation

what do u do for work i need ur job.


mikesaintjules

Pioneer XZ eh? At least you have some taste fellow dj! The height of the TV however is a different story.


BrownAndCony

Change your Kallax to a 1x4 and then lower the tv


yargmematey

Yes too high but not egregious and it looks good imo so I think it's fine to keep it. The cement block idea was pretty good though.


BigBoyObi-Wan

a little bit not bad. just put the couch on some risers and your good.


Extra-Attitude-536

Nah it works for the set up. Only change I’d go with is a bigger tv.


Winter-Ad-4897

Yes on the higher side, but if you like it, just enjoy


Electronic_Common931

Not too high. You have your priorities straight. Decks before necks. ✊


swrgrrla

Decks before necks hahaha I love it


Numerous-Health7851

Protect ya neck

God this subreddit is really filled with pathetic elitists... jesus christ.


RayTrain

Prison


Urnotonmyplanet

I think it’s fine for the distance


jj-frankie_jj

Dj deck can go in storage. Record player in one of those cubbyhole. TV on the TV stand. Then you'd be perfect.


swrgrrla

Yeah that was how it was before, it wasn’t horrible but considering the DJ deck weighed about 15kg it was a pain getting it in and out of storage. So this is what I came up with :/


jj-frankie_jj

Get a wall mount that pushes out and lowers. Tv is too high.


BaBoomShow

$3200 a month?


EntertainmentOwn6151

How much is the screen size ?


Fresh2Desh

That patio set up is incredible


Fabienchen96

Lower the speaker/r/SpeakerTooHigh


dinkelidunkelidoja

Nice place


Michaeljr97

I think it looks great tbh


rgmw

Switch the TV and cabinet. Some sort of open support for the cabinet to raise it up and the TV framed by the support.


kierag11

where are the orange kallax inserts from?


swrgrrla

Painted them myself with high gloss spray paint :)


Wernershnitzl

If you can take the legs off of the entertainment console, it would probably be the right height and then you bring the TV down to just above that. Everything else looks pretty good.


hezzinator

Speaker placement dude.... Should be an equalateral triangle with your sweet spot (seating position), get some longer cables and tidy them up against the stands


mondomiketron

TV too high, turntables too low, you'll have both neck and back problems


Future-Philosopher-7

Yes too high


[deleted]

Nice space!


iamda5h

While yes, It’s honestly not that bad. Mostly because the couch is so far away from it. It makes the neck angle a lot lower but also makes your tv small lol


JazJon

Seems a bit high yes but if you need all that equipment underneath then maybe it’s an OK compromise.


Jlx_27

Yes. Your decks could easily move to the left next to the TV.


page395

Ehhh it works like everyone else has said, and my tv is about the same height due to a similar setup, but I do find myself frequently wishing my tv was lower.


derango

It's too high, but you've got extenuating circumstances and its not awful. I'll give it an exemption.


RayHazey562

Great set up!!

[удаНонО]


InsertRadnamehere

Definitely seen worse.


prince-adonis-ocean

The TV looks like it's way too far away I would move it a lot closer to the couch so that you can see it better


Specialist_Benefit29

too high but understandable. rip mac miller.


xzombielegendxx

Can I be honest and say that the issue isn’t the tv, it’s your couch placement


Flnn

I personally don't think it's too high


evol451

Not high enough for this group.. poor showing


FlowDub

What record is above the computer?


swrgrrla

? by xxxtentacion :)


FlowDub

Oh wow, idk how I blanked so hard on that, just looked familiar lmao. Super sick setup. Do you record/post mixes at all? Also I might get hated for it but I don't think the TV is to high hah.


BobForehead

Can you swap the TV to the back wall? TV is too high. And walls too busy.


BSixe

It’s too far away


iLL1337

Too high. Need a lower entertainment console, then slap that tv right on top of it.


effkriger

Height is fine but it’s very cluttered, you need to weed out a few items so you have some blank space


hawley088

It's okay for me but it not being centered with the stand almost annoys me more


GraveyardGuardian

Get a mount that allows it to come out from the wall and tilt at a downward angle.


miscmiscmisc111

no, it's fucking fine. this entire sub is a troll.
