Explanation: The equation calculates the mounting height so the center of the TV aligns with your eye level when seated.
Details: Proper TV height ensures comfortable viewing, reduces neck strain, and provides the best viewing angle. The ideal position is having the center of the TV at eye level when seated.
Tips: Measure your eye height when seated in your normal viewing position. Measure the actual height of your TV (not the diagonal screen size). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How do I measure my eye height?
A: Sit in your normal viewing position and measure from the floor to your eye level.
Q2: What if I have a very large TV?
A: For very large TVs (65+ inches), you may want to mount slightly lower than the calculation suggests for comfortable viewing.
Q3: Does this work for standing viewing?
A: No, this calculation is for seated viewing. For standing viewing, use your standing eye height.
Q4: What about tilt mounts?
A: The calculation works best for flat mounts. Tilted mounts may need slight height adjustments.
Q5: Should I consider furniture height?
A: Yes, if placing on furniture, measure from the top of the furniture to your eye level and adjust accordingly.
