TV Height Calculator

For most living room setups, mounting the TV center at seated eye level (typically 42 inches from the floor) provides the most comfortable viewing. This minimizes neck tilt and keeps the screen centered in your field of vision.

Recliners and beds lower your eye level and angle your gaze upward. Mount the TV slightly higher than standard and use a tilting mount angled 5 to 15 degrees downward to compensate.

Sit in your usual viewing position on your couch or chair. Have someone measure the distance from the floor to your eyes. Most adults have a seated eye level between 38 and 44 inches.

Not necessarily higher, but a larger screen is taller, so the bottom edge sits lower and the top edge sits higher relative to the center point. The center should still align near eye level regardless of size.

Mounting above a fireplace typically places the TV too high for comfortable viewing. If you must, use a pull-down or tilting mount that angles the screen downward, and make sure the heat from the fireplace does not damage the TV.
