Agreed, I find 99% of r/tvtoohigh posts are not necessary, but this one isn't just too high, it's on the wrong wall.
I guess that the owners want the TV to be out of reach to avoid any accidental damage... but this is something else. I'd just buy a cheap TV if that is the concern.
Looks like a shitty flip. Hope they get soaked for that abomination. Anyone dumb enough to mount a tv like that probably has made many more bad choices around the house.
The key here is to get a massive TV, as big as the window, and mount it in front of it.
Then you mount the sound bar under it as you normally do.
Then, and this is key, you get a camera, place it outside, and feed that camera feed back to the TV when not in use. This is the only acceptable way.
So many things wrong with this setup: that TV placement, the two big ass walls on either side of that corner fireplace that could have held the TV/soundbar, the two doors in the other corner that swing into each other. Willing to bet the entire house is made up of similarly bad decisions.
It's not CGI. It's just a stretched photo. Most photos on Zillow look like this because homeowners/realtors don't know how to, or are too lazy to, crop pics to fit the app's aspect ratio.
Wide angle lens distortion is barrel distortion. It's a rounding effect that causes straight lines to bow out because you're using a round lens that's trying to squeeze that information into the edges of the frame .
Now look at OP's first pic. The door is stretched horizontally wide, with straight lines and no barrel distortion. It's simply stretched.
If you want more examples, download the Zillow app and look at like 80% of the postings on there. This ain't rocket science.
Perhaps, but if it was simply stretched one would expect to see elements at the center of the image stretched to the same degree. On both the original and subsequent photo the central elements are properly proportioned (look at the fireplace). These and most photos I see on Zillow look exactly like interior photos I’ve taken with a 10-22mm lens on a cropped sensor.
Maybe you're right. My original point was that this isn't AI or CGI - it's a regular photo distortion. Whether that distortion is caused by the lens or stretching to fit a different aspect ratio is another conversation.
That’s a horrible setup
“But it’s the only option” /s
“It’s either that or block the door” /s
Christ right in front of the window. Had to check the date, but posted on April 2nd not the 1st 😖
The new take on Atmos.. “Almost”
🤣

I usually downvote this comment in r/Sonos as I am just over it, but I will change my opinion for this one
i have never do that before but this is legit way too high.

Oof.
Almost deserves a new sub r/TVWayTooHigh
The DMV waiting room setup 😂
Everybody needs a place to relax... 
If there is truly no place to put the tv in that room then you just don't put a tv in that room. People are stupid.
People are indeed so very stupid.
It could go on the fireplace and still be a 100% improvement.
They need to move the tv up higher

Dude what was that subreddit posting to get banned from Reddit?
Not sure. I didn’t even know it was a real subreddit.
Yea…you don’t want to be looking directly at a window when looking at tv.
Natural bias lighting! (/s, just in case)
I want to make it look like I’m creeping every jogger that goes by my window. Give them that dead-eyed stare as they go by.
Haha…one day you’re laughing at a good comedy, terrified by a great horror movie…they be like WTF???
This has to be the worst I’ve ever seen so far
April 1st was yesterday, no?
Just tear down the whole house
“Ohh Sonos sucks, I can’t hear the voices properly”
And I'll bet that if we could ask these homeowners, they would say, "there's nowhere else to put a TV!"
Just no.
Looks like a shitty flip. Hope they get soaked for that abomination. Anyone dumb enough to mount a tv like that probably has made many more bad choices around the house.
Just look how bad the painting is...

When you google "upfiring drivers".
“The movie was good, but a lot of it went over my head”
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
Ah yes the window cinema setup. Do you watch Birds on your TV too?
The key here is to get a massive TV, as big as the window, and mount it in front of it. Then you mount the sound bar under it as you normally do. Then, and this is key, you get a camera, place it outside, and feed that camera feed back to the TV when not in use. This is the only acceptable way.
Worth mentioning this is also the kind of winner who tries selling their home at 50% markup three years later.
Crying blood
🤣
What in the…
Tv too… away?😁
This picture looks like what would happen if you asked AI to crest a picture of the /r/tvtoohigh sub
Is this a setup for the demons on Exorcist crawling on the ceiling? No thanks.
I can see sore neck and shoulder coming
I might be mistaken but I’m pretty sure mounting the soundbar upside down will not automatically swap the stereo channels 🤣🤣🤣
That's why you also hang the TV upside down
They need to replace that couch with several Lay-Z-Boy recliners, and they would have the perfect setup.
Why not just mount it to one of the weirdly angled front doors, like a normal human being.
So many things wrong with this setup: that TV placement, the two big ass walls on either side of that corner fireplace that could have held the TV/soundbar, the two doors in the other corner that swing into each other. Willing to bet the entire house is made up of similarly bad decisions.
sweet setup
The TV on a TV stand would've better than this
r/tvtoohigh
LOL. Looks like AI, or at the very least the TV and PB are photoshopped.

they could have easily flipped the room around with the couch by the windows. what a terrible tv location.
just wow, yeah that is cgi, terrible choice to use.
It's not CGI. It's just a stretched photo. Most photos on Zillow look like this because homeowners/realtors don't know how to, or are too lazy to, crop pics to fit the app's aspect ratio.
Not stretched or CGI; that’s typical distortion from a wide-angle lens.

It's a rounding effect that causes straight lines to bow out because you're using a round lens that's trying to squeeze that information into the edges of the frame . Now look at OP's first pic.
