The ideal height to mount your TV generally centers around placing the middle of the screen at eye level when seated. This is typically about 40 to 42 inches from the floor to the center of the TV screen for most people

General Guidelines:

• Mount the upper third of the TV screen at eye level to your viewing position

• The center of the TV should be roughly 40–42 inches from the floor for comfortable viewing while seated

• For larger TVs, the mounting height may be slightly higher to maintain good floor clearance and proportional room aesthetics

Specific TV Sizes and Recommended Mounting Heights:

TV Size| Center Height from Floor| Bottom Edge Height from Floor
---|---|---
43-inch| 56 inches (some sources)| About 45 inches2
50-inch| ~40 inches| 27.5 inches5
55-inch| 40–61 inches| 26–28.5 inches257
65-inch| 40–65 inches| 22–24 inches25
70-inch| ~67 inches| -
75-inch| 40 inches| 21 inches5

How to Calculate the Bottom Edge Height:

1. Measure the height of your TV screen.
2. Divide by two to find the center height relative to the bottom.
3. Subtract this number from your desired center height (usually around 40–42 inches) to find how high the bottom edge should be from the floor

Additional Considerations:

• Adjust height based on your seating position and eye level, not standing height

• Consider room layout, furniture height, and viewing distance.
• For bedrooms or specific setups, mounting slightly above eye level when seated is acceptable

In summary, aim to mount your TV so the center of the screen is about 40 to 42 inches from the floor, adjusting slightly for TV size and room specifics, ensuring comfortable viewing without neck strain
