Height of TV in the bedroom on the wall
People now have several TVs in their apartments. To save space or for convenience, the TV is hung on the wall. However, existing technologies that are used to create equipment entail new problems in operation. At what height to hang the TV, what mechanism is the safest, is not an easy task.
After purchasing new equipment, you should answer some questions: choosing a height that will not cause discomfort or affect your health, how to make the correct calculations and choose the optimal distance to the screen. Here you need to be guided not by knowledge of mathematics, but by practice and expert advice.

Standard height
Many of us buy a TV as a means of relaxation and comfortable pastime, but each zone in the house has its own height. What is the best viewing distance?
In order to determine the height of the monitor, it is necessary to proceed from maximum comfort when viewing, namely lying down. New improved technologies have reached the point that watching TV does not affect vision and the radiation is harmless to the body. Therefore, you can hang the device at any distance suitable for you. However, the existence of ideal proportions of the TV diagonal and distance to the eyes still exists.
REFERENCE! The area of the room where the TV will be located deserves great attention.
Most ophthalmologists are based on the opinion that the ideal distance is the diagonal of the monitor multiplied by 2. Neither resolution nor display type are taken into account. This method is suitable for old TVs.
To ensure that you enjoy watching programs, follow these rules:
- The deviation angle from the central part of the monitor to the human eyes should not exceed 30 degrees. This rule is necessary to avoid curvature of the spine.
- The distance from the floor should be 1 m. You may accidentally touch the screen and damage it.
- The block with sockets should be at a distance of 45 cm from the mechanism.
- Take into account the height of furniture and other interior items. 25cm is the minimum distance at which the device should be located from the sleeping place.
- When purchasing a bracket, take into account the weight of the TV. The best option would be to purchase mechanisms that are specifically designed for your TV model. To correctly determine the angle, use special clamps for the brackets. They can be purchased complete with hanging shelves. They will help you change the angle of the screen surface. The most successful are brackets that help adjust the TV in several planes.
- Over time, the bracket mechanism may become loose and weaken. It's worth checking it constantly.
IMPORTANT! Large screens must be purchased only for large rooms, otherwise viewers will not be able to fully comprehend the image. If the device is positioned low, pixels will be tracked. Headaches may occur due to constant eye strain.
Rules to follow when watching TV:
- If you feel like you are falling asleep, then turn off the TV.
- Prolonged viewing affects your health.
- Loud sound damages hearing.
- Consider the area of the room when choosing a monitor.
How to calculate: methodology
Determining the height for installing a TV can be done in two ways. The first is the experience of ordinary users. The second is based on the recommendations of doctors and equipment manufacturers.
In this case, the distance from the viewing location to the TV and the diagonal of the device are not completely taken into account. These factors can affect your eyes.
First way
You should lie down on the bed where you plan to watch TV, then close your eyes and open them. Where your gaze immediately goes is where you should hang the TV. Based on practice, it should be hung higher in the bedroom than in the living room. Although this method is quite simple, it is recommended to use the second one.
Second way
Mathematical calculations and doctors' prescriptions are used in this method.
The monitor should be hung at eye level. Changing the height distorts the image.
The optimal distance from the viewing point is considered to be a diagonal multiplied by 3. If you have a plasma TV, then you should multiply by 4.
If you have an LED or 3D screen, not only the diagonal, but also the resolution is taken into account. It can be 720p, 1080p and higher. Taking into account all these parameters, you will get a high-quality image and comfortable viewing pleasure. The height should be calculated according to this principle:
- If the monitor resolution is 720p, then the distance should be equal to the screen diagonal size multiplied by a factor of 2.3.
- When the resolution is 1080p, the distance from the eyes to the TV should be equal to the diagonal size multiplied by 1.56.
REFERENCE! When you determine the height, you should take into account the distance from the viewing position to the panel, and in addition from the eyes to the TV.
In order not to harm health or affect the quality of vision, the diagonals of the device should be 4 times smaller relative to the distance of a person’s eyes.
Even before the installation process begins, you need to decide on the place where the TV will hang. This affects viewing comfort. To determine the most optimal point, you should stand in the viewing area. You should feel comfortable in this position, and then you can immediately determine where to hang the device.
Experts agree that the TV should be installed in a straight line. The height should be calculated much later. If you have an LCD panel, then everyone should sit at the viewing point and enjoy the movie.
The area of the apartment also determines the location of the TV. In a one-room apartment, the screen should be hung diagonally from the central part of the upholstered furniture, the bed. This makes for comfortable viewing. The monitor will be viewed from anywhere in the apartment.
Why you shouldn't hang your TV high
If you purchased an LCD panel, you should consider the viewing angle. If you place such a model too low, the monitor will be darker than it should be, and if you hang it high, then, on the contrary, it will be lighter.
If malfunctions occur, the excessive height of the TV mechanism may affect its repair and dismantling. Also, if you use a flash drive or memory card to watch TV shows, then the height should be as convenient as possible to install it.Taking all this into account, each person chooses his favorite poses, which will be individual and comfortable for everyone. This can also be considered one of the factors that will affect the installation of the screen.
