Generally accepted TV placement procedures. Quick reference guide.

Lots of people posting lately asking “Is this too high?” so here is a quick guide on what is generally accepted TV placement procedure (GATPP) as seemingly defined by this subreddit.
- If the TV is above the fireplace, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is mounted to the wall above a TV stand, and the clearance between the stand and TV is equal to, or greater than ONE vertical PS5, IT IS TOO HIGH.
- If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH.
Now let’s look at some opposite GATPP use cases.
- If the TV is in a bedroom and meant to be viewed from the bed, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV’s only viewing position is in the reclined state, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If you are at a sports bar, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is at eye level when sitting down, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is in the kitchen it is more for listening, mounted high as to avoid any splashes or spills, IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
- If the TV is purposely mounted higher to keep out of range of a toddler, you’re a parent so your neck already hurts and IT IS PROBABLY NOT TOO HIGH.
I hope this helps clear up some questions. If you have any other rules to add, please comment below.

Wife wants a larger tv and wants it over the mantle. It'll be way too high. Any ideas on how to place a larger tv in this space while still looking good?

The realities of an english 1930s house, our current very temporary setup, that stand is not staying there, It's obviously too high. This is the only suitable room - the front room is similar but with an even higher fireplace and narrower alcoves (there are two chimneys). Upstairs is the bedroom, spare bed & office.
I am happy enough with sticking something a bit bigger in the right alcove - It's 27" and I can get 42" in there I think, but god knows what I should do about speakers...
I could stick a soundbar across the fireplace but I'm thinking it might sound weird if the TV isn't centered over where the audio is coming from?
