I have had a 40" Samsung Serif for maybe 7 years that I love and t has taught me how nice it is to have a TV at this height. But after moving it's too small for the new room and my wife has to wear glasses to read the subtitles of artsy-fartsy French films (the only media allowed in the household). We're also expecting our first child and the thought of cleaning grubby finger prints off of the Serif has inspired me to free up some floor space and mount a 55" Samsung Frame on this wall.

I'm attracted to the Frame for the obvious reasons- thin profile and can masquerade as a French oil painting when not in use. I understand that it's not going to be a perfect disguise but I just can't bare the thought of a big black rectangle in the middle of what is otherwise a well curated space that doesn't look like it was designed around TV watching.

But can that even be avoided? No one would hang a piece of art of that size that low and so I assume the charade of it hiding its true nature will be all too obvious at the correct viewing angle. To make matters more difficult, the kitchen is to the right and standing height eye level would make the most sense when watching (French) cooking videos.

I'd need to move the painting of whoever this guy is above the TV now but I'd probably try to do a gallery style layout with 4-5 other pieces of art above or next to the Frame but I'm worried having the largest piece (the Frame) at the bottom as I assume it will look suspect.

Has anyone seen something like this work or am I doomed to the TV being too high (or getting the 55" Serif and dealing with the eventual fingerprints).

Cables exposed too…

The bottom of the screen is ~7 ft off the ground. The whole thing measures 22 x 39 ft.

Settle an argument. TV too high or just right?

Personally I think screen should be much lower.

Loving our setup with an old 30's Bar and repurposed vintage TV's on each side. Separates the audio nicely with two vintage Pioneer CS-G303's pumping out great crystal clear sound.

It seems too high, is this the right place to post this sort of content???

Don't even need to ask but just wanted to share.
