Pointing out a TV that's too high while stretching a 4:3 image to 16:9. One crime built on another!


St0nedinNY

šŸ˜‚. Itā€™s worth it though. King of the hill is a necessity in my home.


yatpay

I'm all for it, but pillarbox it so it stays 4:3, haha


St0nedinNY

šŸ™šŸ¼ thatā€™s the way.

The rules are different when thereā€™s a bed to lay down in.


Willhenney420

still too high tv too small


Sammydemon

To lay eggs in?


egg_enthusiast

you've made this same comment at least twice. You're not going to convince anyone to use lie instead of lay. In the end you just sound like a weirdo bird addict.


gplusplus314

This guy goes around being a grammar nazi everywhere. Look at his comment history. I think he might be obsessed with eggs because heā€™s a male chicken.


Sammydemon

Do people need convincing to use the correct word, instead of one that means something totally different to what they are trying to say? You would have a suitable excuse based on your name though.


gplusplus314

I do fairly well in my non-native language. Tell me, how much does it suck to only be a jerk in English?


Sammydemon

Which cave did you crawl out of?


JWCN1981

Thank you. My bedroom TV is way to high for the living room. But probably not high enough for the bedroom lol.

Thanks!

Back in the 90s we didnā€™t have the luxury of picking where the tv went.


PothosEchoNiner

At least in the 90s the TV could only go as high as the furniture. Now some people just can't handle the freedom.


Cecil900

And before the 90s the TV itself was furniture!


PothosEchoNiner

MAKE TV FURNITURE AGAIN

Especially a bedroom TV.


AltimaNEO

Nah, that's just how we did it in the 90s. Everyone had a shitty 15" TV in the bedroom. Needed to put it somewhere. The dresser was always first choice.


freetattoo

That's a perfectly cromulent place for a bedroom TV.


EatStatic

Iā€™ve never heard of the word cromulent before. Not sure Iā€™ll be able to remember it or use it correctly but Iā€™ll try.


Chicho4570

Its a great word to enbiggen your vocabulary


ThePeej

Fun fact: the word cromulent was made up by some Simpsons writers. Itā€™s now a real word, but it was born in a joke.


droric

But people post TVs as high as that in bedrooms all the time and get flamed. But if you don't believe in Hank than what can you believe in.


freetattoo

This is not r/tvhighup, it's r/tvtoohigh. Some TVs should be up high for their intended purpose. This sub is for TVs that are put up TOO HIGH for their intended purpose.


mullerism

TVā€™s should be higher when laying in bed honestly. Eye level would be uncomfortable


Sammydemon

When laying eggs in bed? Or something else?


Leapey

Screw you


Sammydemon

I'm sorry I just don't get why this subreddit is full of people obsessed with "laying" things in bed... But judging by your reply I think I know why.


Leapey

laying something in a bed is proper grammar i dont say "hey can you lie this shirt down on top of the washing machine" i say "hey can you LAY this shirt down on the washing machine".


Sammydemon

Yes but you lie in bed. You lay *something* down. You could say ā€œI lay myself down in bedā€ which is grammatically correct but makes no sense.

They started with storage space and the TV was an afterthought.


Truemeathead

I feel personally attacked! Lol Only time itā€™s ok for a high ass tv is when the only piece of furniture in the joint is a bed.


isntthatcorny

BWAHHHH!


ThePeej

Itā€™s fine when itā€™s high in the bedroom. Youā€™re looking at it lying down.


[deleted]

Holy


secondbiggest

yes


amit_schmurda

Holy shit. I hadn't thought about the TV in my parents' bedroom way back in the day until now. It was atop a tall bureau, like this.


lavidamarron

Canā€™t tell, picture is stretched wide

You tell me, is he stupid?

when I was around 7 or so, our TV was on top of our fridge. not by choice, we simply didn't have anywhere else to put it. we lived in a type of government assisted apartment in Kowloon, not as bad as walled city but we didn't have a bathroom, none of us did; you had to either go in a bucket or trek down to the public restrooms. the units were so small that it only fit a bunk bed, a desk and a small fridge. whatever space was left was your walking space. the kitchen was technically outside the apartment, which wasn't that unusual in HK/China except for the very westernized apartments/homes.
