TLDR: Is it crazy to put a big TV on the floor for a couch battle station so that my eyes at couch height are at the top of the TV on the floor?

Context: I got a good price (buddy doing a clearance sale) on a 100" (254cm) hisense tv, so I want to setup a couch battle station.

I've always been near sighted, and I want to use this as a opportunity to move my display farther away from me. So put the 4k TV on the ground on the other side of the room, sit on the couch with a wireless keyboard / mouse and be productive.

When I'm sitting on the couch my eyes are about 120cm (~50in) from the ground, and putting the TV on the ground puts the top of the screen at 131cm (88in).

Anyone else doing a on-the-ground tv setup?

What quality of life add-ons can you suggest?

Fucking try it out. Or design a simulation that you can use VR in, so that you can fucking try it out!

You won't really know until you try it, so fucking try it already. Then adjust it. Eyes at top of screen!? Wha?

Your bang on - I'll just give it a whirl. its just really heavy, awkwardly shapped, and difficult to move around, so I want to get it right on the first go, and I have time to kill before it gets delivered
