Something something div centre.
I don’t get it.
Tv too high
And off-center.
You guys go on vacations just to watch TV?
Not to brag, but I can do that from home.
Literally unwatchable.
You just described me
Are you in a cruise ship? That’s what this reminds me of.
You won’t watch it much anyway. They just play the same 4 movies on repeat during the entire trip

Fuck. Did not see it at first. Screw you
I don’t see it…
Ok, that is a compelling argument.
I would never use a hotel TV by choice. When it happens, it’s because there’s literally nothing else to do in that moment. But even then, it’s a struggle of shit quality, the most fucked up position in the room imagineable, unintelligible audio, and a bombardment of unskippale advertising.
Really, the only thing entertaining is seeing if any previous guests stayed logged into Netflix, then finding weird stuff to add to their ‘Continue Watching’ category.
I only use them if they have an HDMI port so I can play whatever I want on it.
And nowadays they let you cast to them (sometimes). But even ones that were locked I’ve gone and just asked for the unlocked remote and maintenance has always provided. The hotel brand cares; the workers do not give a fuck.
Former hotel employee, can confirm.
I need to ask for this. Every hotel I go to they have the brightness cranked - and my wife loves watching TV to sleep, which keeps me awake because I can’t tweak any settings. Makes me want to buy a universal just to put in my luggage…
You can probably get an IR blaster dongle for your phone too.
Yeah…I severely miss my Samsung note 4
We haven’t had cable in 12 years. Whenever we go to a hotel we specifically look for low quality reality tv with lots of ads. It’s so ridiculous that it becomes funny and entertaining, for about 20 minutes that is.
I like finding movies on hotel cable. Many of the movies I saw when young weren’t from going to the theater, but rather from walking through the living room after someone else put something on, or by flipping through the channels and landing on something that captured my interest. It’s hard to get that experience nowadays. I’m more likely to get analysis paralysis from seeing all the films out there and end up rewatching the entirety of Futurama for the 200th time instead.
I used to watch FoxNews for shits just to see the wild shit they show, but recently the hotel I stay at most frequently no longer gets that channel. it was really disappointing, now I have to hope to catch criminal minds reruns or a random movie
We would come in from the beach or bars drunk, high, and overexcited, but knowing we had to sleep or the next day would be ruined. So we’d turn on a movie to fall asleep to. Unfortunately the last time, it was Addams Family Values, and my ass stayed up extra late watching the whole thing.
Ah, yes. Classic case of “90’s doom scrolling.”
I just plug in my AppleTV or Switch or laptop…
the issue is usually that you can’t adjust the display settings for a more suitable picture
Last hotel I was in had streaming apps available. I could just log into my own account.
Cheap and portable Google TV stick with a Bluetooth speaker
Oh no, your vacation to go watch TV in a hotel room is ruined…
Honestly, good point. OP, could you be satisfied with this explanation? Maybe the interior designer did this as an homage to their favorite game of five years ago?
of five years ago
Yeaaaah about that, it’s 8 years old now
Try pushing on it. Half the time the mounts are basically rails so you don’t have to center the tv on the studs.
OP in 60 seconds: “how do I hide a TV that fell off the wall”
Maybe, it’s on a hinged wall mount and someone just put it back wrong.
tv_too_high
A little to the right… a little more to the right… anddddd… perfect.
There’s a reason for everything. Sometimes that reason is “I don’t give fuck.”

Depending on the type of mount this might just slide to the left easily.
