Formula
Room type sets a typical eye level target. The calculator computes screen height from a 16:9 ratio and derives bottom and top edges.
Worked Example
TV Mounting Height by Room Type
- Living room: assumes upright seated posture on a sofa, with eye level around 42 inches from the floor
- Bedroom: accounts for reclined or semi-reclined viewing in bed, typically with a higher mounting position
- Dining room: assumes bar-height or dining chair seating with a slightly elevated eye level
- Home theater: optimizes for a cinematic experience with the screen center at or slightly below seated eye level
The calculator provides center, bottom edge, and top edge heights so you know exactly where to place your wall mount bracket.
You can also calculate changes using our Living Room TV Height Calculator, Bedroom TV Height Calculator, Fireplace TV Height Calculator, Eye Level TV Calculator or Wall Mount Placement Calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
What height does the calculator measure from?
All heights are measured from the floor. The calculator reports the center of the TV, the bottom edge, and the top edge in inches from floor level.
Should the TV center always match eye level?
For living rooms with upright seating, yes, this is the most comfortable guideline. Bedroom and dining room setups often mount the TV slightly higher to account for reclined or elevated viewing positions.
Can I override the eye level default?
Yes. Use the optional eye level field to enter your actual measured seated eye level. This overrides the room type default for a custom result.
How do I measure my seated eye level?
Sit in your normal viewing position on the sofa or chair. Have someone measure from the floor to the center of your eyes. This is your seated eye level.
Does TV size affect mounting height?
TV size affects where the bottom and top edges fall relative to the center. A larger TV extends further above and below the center point, so the bottom edge height will be lower for the same center height.
