Where And How Do I Mount The Television

How High Should A TV Be Off The Ground

There are two ways how to adjust the right height of your flat screen and it depends if you watch TV while sitting on the couch. If so, then television should be mounted at eye level to the center of the screen from your height sitting straight on the couch. However, this could make the TV seem low when standing next to it so if you were to adjust the television in direction vertically, then adjust up so the bottom of the screen is eye level while sitting and the top is eye level when standing.

Do not get your flat screen TV mounted too high! This is the most common mistake. Generally, measure the height at or slightly above your eye level. Do not be afraid to acknowledge that after 35 minutes you’re really slouched down or almost horizontal in your seat… Mount your flat screen TV to make the best of your sitting pose!

The distance between your eyes and your television should be between 3.8 feet and 7.6 feet for optimal viewing. Generally speaking, you can view a screen from as close as 1.5 times the screen’s diagonal measurement.
