Faith ttv height tv#
If you want to find the height between the floor and the bottom of the TV, then measure the vertical height of your TV divide it by 2 and subtract it from the above result.Īs a rule of thumb, a 42 in television should be mounted about 55 inches from the floor to the TV center, a 55 in TV should be 60 inches, a 65 in should be 65 in and a 70 in television should be mounted about 67 in from the floor to the center of the screen.Ī more accurate formula is the following: This formula assumes 12.5 degrees of reclining angle for simplicity and is the distance in inches from the floor to the middle of the TV. (2)TV Mounting Height (TVMH) =0.22*VD+ELH So now that we know all the parameters that contribute to the TV mounting height we can calculate it with the following formulas: Couch manufacturers reclining angle range for casual sitting is 10-15 degrees. In other words the more you recline the higher the TV mounting height. If you lay back then the reclining angle is not zero and is measured from the vertical. If you sit up straight at your seat or couch while you are watching TV and your torso forms a 90 degree angle with the floor then the reclining angle is zero. The reclining angle also effects the height of mounting your TV. For example when i sit on my couch my eye level from the floor is 40 inches. You can easily measure this from the floor to your eyes. Your eye level also contributes to the TV mounting height and is the distance, in inches, of your eyes from the floor while you are sitting watching TV. See side view pic below.įor example if your TV size (TVS) is 55″ then the optimal Viewing Distance (VD) should be 92 inches (55*1.67). This is the optimum TV Viewing distance which is based on your TV size or it can be measured if you can’t sit at the optimum distance because of your room layout. The optimal VD can be calculated from the following formula: The viewing distance can be based on the size of your television for optimal viewing or it can be measured from where you sitting to the wall where the TV will be mounted(in inches). The Viewing distance also contributes to the mounting height of your TV and is the distance between the TV screen and where you are sitting. You can find the size of your TV by measuring it diagonally and just the screen not the bevel. If you have an existing TV and do not remember the size then you can measure it. When you buy a TV the size is marked on the box like 42″, 55″, 60″ etc. The size of your TV greatly effects the TV mounting height. In order to determine the ideal mounting height of your TV, we first need to know the size of the TV, the viewing distance from the TV, the eye level height from the floor and the reclining sitting angle.
