Tilting a TV downward by about ten to fifteen degrees reduces neck strain when the screen is mounted higher than eye level, such as above a fireplace. This adjustment directs the center of the image towards your seated position, keeping your neck in a neutral posture. Tilting also minimizes glare from overhead lighting and windows, improving picture clarity. Modern tilting wall mounts offer smooth angle adjustments and can be secured once ideal tilt is found. Regularly testing the tilt with actual viewing positions ensures ergonomic comfort during extended use.
