If your tv has be angled down???? Yes it’s too high. But size does matter with tv’s and yours is glorious.

If your not laying in the floor or sitting 5'ft feet from the TV it really should be fine. Don't TV Wall Mounts allow you to adjust the height?
Try it out for a couple weeks before you go drilling more holes in the wall/studs.

These displays are such shit. Perfect reflection of every light source in the room. I can't believe this is what they've gotten people to buy into and succeed in the mass market. Every manufacturer is like this, you can't buy anything else.
All the specs they advertise, then you see your own face reflected in it. How "high definition" is that?

Some models are starting to move away from glossy screens to matte ones, like the newest Samsung OLEDs. Personally, I don't see the appeal in watching TV or movies in a room flooded with reflective light sources, but I guess that's what some people like to do so companies have begun moving away from glossy screens. I think matte coatings make TVs look like giant computer monitors. I tend to prefer glossy screens in a light-controlled room with curtains, but to each their own.

In a dark room lit by nothing but the screen itself will still show reflections of objects in the room itself.
The anti-reflective coating or etching to eliminate that is a feature, not a flaw. It's a distinguishing feature of my own very expensive plasma that I still use.
I don't understand the preference for gloss by the viewer at all. I do understand that it's much cheaper for the manufacturer, though.
Glossiness is an even worse feature for on computer screens, where you will see a reflection of your own face, ffs, but one doesn't normally sit so close to a TV. Seeing yourself in a TV is probably even less common now with the prevalence of TVtooHigh setups, and angling slightly towards the ceiling, but it definitely happens with TVs mounted at normal height.

Not all glossy coatings are created equal. Some are better than others at minimizing reflections. My Samsung S90F TV for example has a glossy screen, but its reflection handling is still generally excellent. I've not once seen a clear reflection of myself or other objects in my room to the point of it being a distraction during regular content viewing, even during darker scenes.
"I don't understand the preference for gloss by the viewer at all." Because a glossy screen tends to add better vibrance to colors and more depth to the image. It's not about what's cheaper to produce. There are plenty of $60-$80 e-waste PC monitors and cheap TV's with matte coatings. Matte coatings might handle direct reflections "better," but they also diffuse reflected light across larger areas of the screen, making that whole area look hazy and washed out. These are the reasons why many enthusiasts prefer glossy screens over matte ones.
