How High Should You Mount Your TV?
Finding the perfect TV mounting height is essential for comfort, safety and the best viewing experience. Discover expert advice from TV Mounting Pro London.
Call 07368 427499Why TV Mounting Height Matters
Choosing the correct TV height is one of the most important parts of any TV installation. A television mounted too high can cause neck strain, while a TV installed too low may create an uncomfortable viewing angle.
The ideal TV position allows your eyes to naturally look toward the centre of the screen when sitting in your normal viewing position. This creates a more enjoyable experience whether you are watching films, sports, television programmes or gaming.
At TV Mounting Pro, we install televisions at the correct height based on your room layout, seating position, TV size and viewing distance. Every home is different, which is why professional measurement makes a big difference.
3 Important Things Before Mounting Your TV
Seating Height
Your sofa, chair or bed height affects the perfect position of your TV. The screen should match your natural eye level.
TV Size
Larger televisions may need different mounting positions because the centre of the screen changes with size.
Viewing Distance
The distance between your seating area and television helps determine the most comfortable viewing angle.

TV Mounting Height Diagram
The ideal TV height is usually where the centre of your television sits close to your eye level when you are seated. The diagram below shows the basic principle of comfortable TV placement.
Recommended TV Mounting Heights By TV Size
There is no single height that works for every television because larger screens have a bigger centre point. The table below gives general guidance for most living rooms.
| TV Size | Recommended Centre Height | Best Room |
|---|---|---|
| 32″ – 43″ | 100cm – 110cm from floor | Bedroom / Small rooms |
| 50″ – 55″ | 105cm – 115cm from floor | Living rooms |
| 65″ – 75″ | 110cm – 120cm from floor | Large rooms |
Living Room vs Bedroom TV Height
Living Room
In a living room, your TV should generally be positioned so the centre of the screen aligns with your seated eye level on the sofa.
Bedroom
Bedroom TVs are usually installed slightly higher because you often watch while lying down. A tilt bracket can improve comfort.
Gaming Room
For gaming, the screen should be directly in front of you to reduce neck movement and provide a comfortable experience.
Common TV Mounting Mistakes To Avoid
Many people make the mistake of mounting a TV too high, especially above fireplaces. While it may look attractive, it can create uncomfortable viewing angles.
Other common mistakes include choosing the wrong bracket, ignoring viewing distance, mounting onto unsuitable walls or leaving cables exposed. Professional installation helps avoid these problems.

Final Answer: How High Should You Mount Your TV?
For most living rooms, the ideal TV height places the centre of the screen close to your seated eye level. This is generally between 100cm and 115cm from the floor, although the perfect height depends on your furniture, room size and television dimensions.
Bedroom TVs are often positioned slightly higher because viewers may watch while lying down. Choosing the correct bracket and viewing angle ensures maximum comfort.
