how high should my plasma screen be?

Question

we are in the middle of mounting our new 42` plasma screen on the wall - but at what height should it be? my boyfriend wants the top of the screen 1.5 meters from the floor - i think it should be higher - where would you put yours?

Answer 1

Hi, there is not a correct answer to this,as a health care professional I would say as the others at eye level to prevent eye and neck strain,but the one in my bedroom is at a higher level.My advice would be to try both positions for a say a week then both of you discuss where you both preferred,hopefully you will reach a compromise together.

Answer 2

Here is a website that will tell you what you need to know (I hope). It seems to have everything - especially knowing what is behind the wall you are mounting it on. They are heavy and if you don't mount them correctly...(you don't want that to happen). Check this URL out:

It isn't a dumb question if you are a smart person. If you don't ask first and check it out, you could lose an expensive television. It DOES matter where and how you mount it.

PS: Look out for electrical wires in the wall.

Answer 3

your eyes should be level with the middle of the screen so 1.5 metres may be too high.

Answer 4

24 inches above the height of your sofa

Answer 5

it all depends on your seatting position, normaly your 1.5m is ok, but some people like both high and low. What ever tickle's ur fancy!!

Answer 6

your tv, like your computer screen should be eye level when you are sitting.
