The perfect height

How high should you mount your TV?

Have you purchased a new (smart) TV and are you planning to mount it on the wall? What is the ideal height and viewing distance? To help you find the ideal height for your TV, we’ve put together a few tips.

How to find the ideal height

The optimal height to mount your TV is at eye level or just below it when you're seated. This is usually between 41–60 inches from the floor. The ideal height depends on several factors, including the size of the TV, the viewing distance, and the size of the room.

Factors that affect TV mounting height

TV Size: The larger the TV, the higher it typically needs to be mounted.
Viewing Distance: If you sit close to the TV, it should be closer to eye level.
Room Size: The dimensions of the room and your furniture can influence the ideal mounting height.

Tips for finding the right height

Use a tape measure to measure from the floor to the center of the screen.
Compare that measurement to your eye level when seated in your favorite viewing position.
If the TV is mounted too high, we recommend choosing a tilting TV wall mount.

Why the right height matters

The correct TV height helps prevent neck strain and encourages better posture.

Best viewing distance

The further away from your TV you are, the more difficult it may be to read subtitles or see small details. However, if you are too close to a large screen, the details can disappear from the corner of your eye.

What's the best way to calculate the correct viewing distance? Measure the distance to where you are located in centimeters and divide this number by 2.5 for Full HD and 1.5 for Ultra HD.

How to measure the ideal distance

See the following calculation example:

Your couch is located 4 metres (400 cm) from your TV.
Divide 400 cm by 2.5 = 160 cm. The result indicates that a TV screen with a diagonal dimension of around 160 cm is suitable for you.
160 cm equates to a screen size of 63 inches (160 cm divided by 2.54 = 63 inches).
Take a look at the screen sizes that are closest to the size calculated to be the most comfortable.
