I know this is a silly question, but where do people put their TVs?

When I moved into this house, the wall already had a TV mount bolted to it, but its up high, probably up at about 1.5m.

I prefer the TV on the floor, and in the last house I had it on a small movable cabinet.

What do other people do with their TVs? Up high or down low? If its up high, isn't it uncomfortable?

Eye height (approximately) or lower. The only place I've appreciated a high tv is in a hotel room where the only option is laying on the bed.

yep, depends how you prefer watching it, slouching with your feet up, sitting bolt upright, laying on the floor, doing yoga on your head, or just laying in bed.

I made an adjustable stand from 5 mm ply.

I think that's a great idea, but the problem I have is that Bunnings around here is all sold out of the 5mm ply. Something about a huge rush of calipers for SUPs or something??

Do you think 10mm ply would work, or do I have no idea what I am talking about?

10 mm could work , but you would have to slice it down the middle first.

Mine had to go high so I could see it above the bike..

I much prefer it up high now that I'm used to it.

Buy some lazy glasses, and watch TV laying down.

someone buy me a pair. i am too lazy to even buy them but I can sure see a need for them.

Then again, I am known to fall asleep within minutes of lying on a lounge, so they won't get much use anyway.

I had a K1300R, actually yours looks like the 1200... loved the growl, but mine had issues from the factory. Got an MT10SP now.
@FN centre or your view, my bedroom TV is highish point down at me.

It is a K1300R and I've had no issues at all.. Love the quick shift (clutch less).. and the sound..

I'm curious as to what issues you had.. I've never heard a bad thing about them.

Hanging it high on a wall so one looks up to it in subservient subconscious manner helps with the wave frequency absorption of MSM BS programing.
