Seat height: 18 inches. The calculator estimates eye level and provides a placement reference for a typical TV.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is user height included?

Taller people have higher seated eye levels even on the same chair. User height provides additional context for estimating your seated eye position, though seat height is the primary factor.

Should I match the TV center to my eye level?

For upright seated viewing (living room, office), aligning the TV center with eye level provides the most comfortable viewing angle. For reclined viewing, the TV can be mounted higher.

How do I measure seat height?

Measure from the floor to the top of the seat cushion where you sit. Standard sofa seat heights range from 15 to 20 inches. Dining chairs are typically 17 to 19 inches.

Does recline angle matter?

Yes. Reclining lowers your eye level and shifts your gaze upward. If you watch TV reclined, your effective eye level is lower than the upright seated estimate this calculator provides.
