Because I can tilt it less if I have to, but the angle it's at (top is about 9" further from the wall than the bottom) is pretty good for viewing.
The TV is a Hisense Q9G 65". It looks amazing, especially for 1500 bucks, but this is our second one. We returned the first after about 10 days as it had a couple of dark spots and a flicker, which I didn't see and I'm pretty sure came into being after about 40-50 hours of use. It's my Dad's, and I'm not sure when I'll be back around to make sure it hasn't happened again, so I'm wondering if it was just a defective set the first time or if the mount was maybe to blame. He leaves it on a lot during the day to watch BNN, so if there are issues they'll probably show up within our return window, but it's a pain for him to return a 65 inch set without me around.

I had my 55 in plasma set up like that for years with no issues, and now a 65 in OLED for a few months with no issues. I always thought that was a pretty standard setup as all the mounts seem to be set up to tilt down and mounted TVs are generally somewhat above eye level.
