Answer
Mount your TV so the center of the screen sits between forty two and forty eight inches from the floor, aligning with your seated eye level. This height reduces neck strain and improves viewing comfort during long movie nights. Measure the height of your sofa seat and add typically twenty six to thirty six inches to find your eye level. Adjust slightly based on screen size and viewing distance for the best experience. For instance, a sixty five-inch TV might be centered at forty four inches from the floor. Proper mounting height also minimizes glare and maintains natural head posture. Always test before mounting by sitting in your favorite seat and marking your ideal height with painter's tape to ensure comfort and clear visibility.
