TV Mounting Height Formula
Primary Formula
TVH: TV Height (center of screen)
WH: Watching Height (eye level when seated)
HWD: Horizontal Watching Distance
Φ: Tilt Angle (upward viewing angle)
Screen Dimensions (16:9 Aspect Ratio)
Width: Diagonal × 16 ÷ √(16² + 9²)
Height: Diagonal × 9 ÷ √(16² + 9²)
Bottom Edge: TV Center Height - (Screen Height ÷ 2)

- •Use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type
- •Consider cable management and power outlet locations
Common Mistakes
- Too High: Mounting above fireplaces or at ceiling level
- Not Considering Seating: Forgetting about different viewing positions
- Ignoring Tilt: Not accounting for natural viewing angles
- Wrong Distance: Not optimizing for screen size
Room-Specific Considerations
- •Living Room: Consider multiple seating arrangements
- •Bedroom: Account for bed height and viewing angle
