At what height should your flat screen be mounted?

Posted in Nextdaytechs Blog

TV Mounting Height

How High should you mount your TV on the wall? Great question. Let’s get after it.

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.

Size of the TV (TVS)

The size of your TV greatly effects the  TV mounting height. When you buy a TV the size is marked on the box like 42″, 55″, 60″ etc. If you have an existing TV and do not remember the size then you can measure it . You can find the size of your TV by measuring it diagonally and just the screen not the bevel.

Viewing Distance (VD)

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. 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 optimal VD can be calculated from the following formula:

(1)Viewing Distance (VD)=TVS*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. See side view pic below.

For example if your TV size (TVS) is 55″ then the optimal Viewing Distance (VD) should be 92 inches (55*1.67).

Eye Level Height from the Floor (ELH)

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. You can easily measure this from the floor to your eyes. For example when i sit on my couch my eye level from the floor is 40 inches.

Reclining Angle (RA)

The reclining angle also effects the height of mounting your TV. 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. If you lay back then the reclining angle is not zero and is  measured from the vertical.  In other words the more you recline the higher the TV mounting height. See side view pic below. Couch manufacturers reclining angle range for casual sitting is 10-15 degrees.

TV Mounting Height (TVMH)

So now that we know all the parameters that contribute to the TV mounting height we can calculate it with the following formulas:

(2)TV Mounting Height (TVMH) =0.22*VD+ELH
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. 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.

As 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.

A more accurate formula is the following:

TVMH=tan(RA)*VD+ELH
Please notice on the above formula, that if the tan(RA)=0 which means that there is no reclining angle or you sit up straight, then the TV Mounting Height equals to the Eye Level Height.

For example when I sit on my couch my ELH from the floor is 40 inches and the VD is 92 inches (see previous example) so my TVMH is 0.22*92+40=60 inches from the floor to the midpoint of the TV. So here is a table:

TV Size Floor to TV Center+ELH (40in) Viewing Distance
42in 55in 70in
55in 60in 92in
65in 65in 109
70in 67in 117

Formula 1 is based to about 30 degrees of viewing angle that are within the limits of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, THX  and manufacturers’ recommendations for 16:9 HDTV’s.

Formula 2 is based on the average reclining angle of about 12.5 degrees from vertical ( sitting up straight) for casual sitting. Manufacturers range for casual sitting is 10-15 degrees.

    Hi I have 65″ flat TV eye level 42″ distance from TV 151″
    What is the Mounting Height?

    Thanks!!!!

  4. Seth Gordon says:

    Hello. I have a bit of a problem because I have a small living room with two sofas facing each other. I must mount the TV above the smaller sofa. The sofa back measures 34″ in height, so the bottom of the TV must be several inches above that. The viewing distance is 94″-104″ depending if I am sitting up straight or reclined back. The TV is 58″. What is the optimal/minimal height at which I should mount the TV?? Thanks so much for your help.

  5. CC says:

    I appreciate you posting all of this for information for us. I am wondering how to mount a TV to be watched from both a sitting position and viewing from a recliner (not just slouching). Is there a midpoint TV height calculation that accommodates both viewing positions? I would appreciate you showing me how to calculate for a blended viewing position for a 75″ TV, 9′ VD, seated 39″ ELH but also allowing for viewing when in reclining position at the same VD. Thank you for your help.

  7. Abdul Jabbar says:

    Hi there,
    Can you please help me figure out the best mounted position for my TV?

    TV Size=49 inches
    Eye height=46 inches
    Viewing distance= 130 to 150 inches

    Kind Regards

    • C S says:

      TV Mounting Height =Eye Height +(Viewing distance *0.22)=46in+(130in*0.22)=74.6in. But you can move closer to your TV because the optimum Viewing Distance for a 49in TV is 82in(VD=TVS*1.67=49in*1.67=82in). So if we calculate the TV mounting Height with the optimum Viewing distance then TVMH=46+(82*0.22)=64in from the floor to the middle of the TV.

  9. Kit Hannigan says:

    Thanks for pointing out how an angle of 12.5 degrees from vertical is the usual angle that TVs are being mounted on your walls. My family has a pretty good posture overall, so I would think that our sitting eye level will be great at this angle. I will be sure to get professional installation services so that they can mount our TV at this exact angle so that we can have a better viewing experience.

  17. Mike says:

    Thanks for this dialogue.

    I may be missing something in your assumptions…

    1) are you assuming people are watching TV in recline position and therefore eyes angled up and/or a tilt mounted screen positioned at an angle? If so, what are those assumptions? If not, then I dont see how the formula height is not too high as its not at the middle of sight.

    2) the “TV size” youre asking for…do you mean corner to corner, or do you mean height? My TV is 65 inch corner to corner but only 33 inch height. It would seem the height is the relevant number as it tells you the midpoint at 16.5 Inches for midpoint.

    • C S says:

      The formula assumes that you recline 12.5 degrees on your chair. As for the TV size is always the diagonal (corner to corner)size of the TV

      • Jeannie says:

        What height should the soundbar be installed at? Informative article, great website, thank you!

      • Michael in Asheville says:

        I gather that the recline angle refers to the head position.
        If the reclined seat has no head support, are there any studies on what head angle is typical or ergonomically optimal for a given back recline angle? Do they always match for a 10-15 degree range in back recline?
        For a 15 deg reclined couch back having relatively soft cushions in front (and underneath) and no head support, how does a typical slouch-on-the-couch (rounded back) translate into comfortable head angle for these calculations?

        • Tim says:

          Agree. The illustration has a viewing angle pointed up at 12.5 degrees, however when I’m reclined like that my head isn’t inline with my body (as if I have a neck brace on). I look straight ahead, close to 90 degrees from the floor if possible. Next time you recline on the couch, brace your head perfectly inline with your body – is that how you’ll truly be looking at the tv? Have someone else do it and observe how they naturally hold / tilt their head.

    Eye level will be approx. 39″ (while lying in bed) – distance will be approx. 14′
    Considering viewing will be done while lying in bed with head partially propped up with pillow, what would a proper mounting height and TV angle be?

  20. Cozzy says:

    Hi, this is great info, thanks. Our Tv is 75″, our viewing distance is quite long, 176″ (I know this isn’t in your optimal range), eye level is 39″ … TV height is 39″… What would be the best distance from floor to the bottom of the TV be please? Hoping to wall mount it tomorrow, thanks in advance

    • C S says:

      Cozzy you optimal mounting Height should be 68 inches to the middle of the TV. If you want to figure out how many inches from the bottom of the TV to the floor then you measure the height of your TV then divide it by 2 and subtract it from the 68 inches

  32. Need Input from Jersey says:

    I mounted my 65″ Samsung Curved TV at about 52″ from the bottom TV base to the floor. My viewing distance is about 120 inches. was my TV placed correctly or is it to high?

    • C S says:

      for a 65in the tv mounting height should be at a 65in from the floor to the middle of the TV assuming that your Eye Level Height is 39in from your couch and 118in is your viewing distance. So if you divide your height of your TV by 2 and subtract it from 65in (which is to the middle of the TV) it should give you the distance from the floor to the bottom of your TV. Hope this helps

  37. Derek Price says:

    This is a very helpful post regarding mounting height. Actually, mounting height is one of the big questions for someone who just bought his flat screen TV. It’s really hard to figure out the right height if you don’t have any idea and you don’t know that such computations exists. The best way to enjoy watching on your flat screen is being at the right position, having the right height, and looking from the right distance because it won’t cause your eyes to sore and your back to strain.

  38. Andrew says:

    Does the “mounting height” mean the middle of tv screen should be at that height?

    39 + (136 * 0.22) = 68.92

    68.92 inches – top, bottom, or middle of tv ?

  39. Ray says:

    So, I tried the formula but am a bit confused… My TV Size is 60 inches, My Viewing Distance is 130 inches, and My Eye Level Height is 42…. How high should my TV be? Thank You.

  40. The Good Doctor says:

    The height calculations provided are too high according to THX standards where “Try not to place the screen too high on the wall – viewers should not have to look up more than 15°.”

    Your calculations state then with using a 65″ tv with a viewing distance of 10ft and ELH of 39″ that the TVMH is 65″ (to the middle of the TV); to change this to the top of the tv one would add 20″ for a 40″ high 65″ tv
    65″ + 20″ = 85″

    Using THX calculations using the same parameters would place the top of the TV no higher than 71″ for optimal height.
    tan 15 degrees = x [height] / 120″ [length]
    x=32″

    ELH of 39″ + 32″ = 71″ max height to top of TV

    • C S says:

      You got the wrong angle. The angle in the formula is the reclining angle not the viewing angle. In other words if you sit up straight the TV should be mounted at eye level if you recline in your chair or couch then the TV will have to be mounted higher. The viewing angle is bet 15-30 and is taking care of by the viewing distance (15d for THX and 30d for the Society of Motion Picture Engineers)

    1 First would like to derive formula if the VD is more than the expected. In case of Lodge, how did you derive 0.4 factor!!

    Mine is
    12 ft i.e 144″ from wall
    40 inch tv ( height is 22″)
    ELH : 40″

    What TVMH here?

    Thanks
    Sunil

      Sunil the optimum viewing distance of a 40in TV should be 40/.55=72in. In your case if we assume you will lay back on your couch (12 degree of reclining angle) then you should mount your TV at 40+144*0.22=72in

    Great site, love your work and ideas. I have successfully mounted my 42inch tv set. What would you suggest for a LG Flatron M197WAP? TIA

    Thanks for the very useful post. Can you please suggest height of the tv to be hanged from your formula for a 55 inch TV (height 27.8) , VD = 14 feet, ELH = 40 inch

    My viewing distance from our 50 inch will be 200″ eye level distance will be 40″ what would the mounting height be? I can’t seem to figure it out. Help please! Lol

    Thank you…
    At 68″, my particular set would then be 87″ – which is better in my estimation, however aesthetically i believe i’m going to wind up with a 53 or 54″ center of TV mounting… going backwards with function following form.

    Thank you again for taking the time to reply.

    I read this article with great interest as i found it to be the only one with a formula for precise measurements. Thank you.

    I own a 70″ LCD/LED , have an eye height of 40″ and have a viewing distance of approximately 13 – 14 feet (3 to 4 feet longer than the ideal distance of 10.6′) – with your formula, the midpoint of the television should be 77″ – WOW! that would place the top of the television at 8 feet…while i do have close to an 11′ ceiling, this just seems way too high. There are other discussions / recommendations to have the television placed at eye level (my opinion too low) or around 1 foot above eye level – for me 52″ which “feels” more comfortable. the reason i mention this is that when going to a movie theater, i always try to sit just below mid-screen center. Understanding there are always personal preferences and variations involved, i do appreciate the time and thought process that went into this calculation.

      Hi Lodge
      If you are sitting 14ft away from your TV formula 1 assumes that your TV is 92in instead of 70in. If you combine formula 1 and formula 2 then the TV mounting Height would be (TVMH)=ELH+TVS*0.4. Where ELH would be the Eye Level Height and TVS would be the TV size in inches. In your case if you plug in ELH=40in and TVS=70in the TV mounting height would be 68in to the middle of the TV.

    In the above chart, shouldn’t the 65″ tv be 65″ (39+26=65) mounting height, and the 70″ tv be 67″ (39+28=67) mounting height?

  68. alice Dahbura says:

    For a 103″ Flat TV, what is the Mounting Height ?

    Thanks,

    • admin says:

      About 6.7 ft to the middle of the TV, assuming your eye height from the floor is 40 in when you sit at your couch.

    Just re-read you comments and noticed your example states “to the midpoint of TV”, so I’m all set. Thanks, again.

    This is helpful, thanks. One question, can you please clarify TVMH (ie. bottom edge of TV, top edge, some other point)? Thanks!
