How high to hang the TV

Most often, the height of the TV installation raises questions even for those who are well versed in the features of a particular digital or household appliance. The thing is that the opinions of family members often do not coincide. That is why it is often necessary to take into account not only some purely technical parameters, but also the opinion of almost every person living in the apartment.

At what height from the floor is it customary to hang the TV on the wall

In fact, there are no strict rules for mounting the height of the TV on the wall. We can say that there are only recommendations that can be taken into account, but you can do without them. These recommendations are made solely on the basis of the technical characteristics of the devices, as well as medical research, however, taking into account the fact that health is a purely individual topic, it is best to focus on personal feelings when choosing a TV height setting and then study the recommendations.

At what level to hang the TV on the wall? Also, the number of TVs in the house or in the apartment does not matter. Therefore, among the most important factors, one can only note the purpose of the premises, as well as the personal wishes of family members. From this article you can learn not only about the recommendations, but also about what everyday tricks should be used to make the installation of the TV quick and easy.

TV installation height in the living room

At what height do I hang the TV in the living room? The living room is a favorite place for friends and relatives. It is in this room that various holidays are celebrated. Not surprisingly, most people have a television set right here.

In addition, the living room is a favorite place to relax. People come here after work to stretch out on the couch and watch TV for a couple of hours. This means that in the living room they can watch TV from a variety of points and from almost any angle. That is why it is so important that the height of the TV from the floor in the living room is 1.2 - 1.4 m. This will be ideal, because in this case you can watch TV both standing and from the sofa, from the table or even leaning against the wall. When there are a large number of guests in the room, sooner or later someone leaves the table and begins to walk around the room or simply stops in some place in order to better see the other person.

In order to calculate the height to which you want to hang the TV as accurately as possible, you need to know about three factors:

1. What is the diagonal of the screen?
2. The average height of everyone who is usually in the room.
3. From what place will they watch TV most often. It is possible that this will not be a sofa or a table.

It is quite natural that if you plan to watch TV from the sofa, then the height may be slightly less. If you need to watch TV from around the table, then you have to hang the equipment a little higher. If it seems that determining the best place is too difficult, then you can experiment and sit on the sofa, and then look at the wall.

There are also a number of medical tips that can be called quite useful:

1. The head of those who look at the screen for a long time should in no case be thrown back somehow. This can lead to increased stress on all the cervical spine. Moreover, with prolonged viewing, the neck will begin to hurt at all. In this case, watching TV will be accompanied by headaches.
2. The distance from the screen to the eyes can be calculated. In particular, it should be proportional to the size of the screen. What kind of proportion are we talking about? The answer is: 1 to 2. This means that if the diagonal of the screen reaches 1 meter, then the distance should be approximately 2 meters. This proportion does not look too complicated, so it is recommended to remember it. It can greatly facilitate the life of an ordinary viewer who is going to spend hours on end behind the screen.

IMPORTANT ADVICE! Directly opposite the viewer's eyes should be the most central part of the screen. This is very important, otherwise the eyes will quickly get tired.

During installation, you need to remember that TV can cause visual impairment. This is especially important in the case of young children. The thing is that the cervical spine can also participate in the viewing process. Therefore, the incorrect position of the TV can cause not only visual impairment, but also numerous problems with posture. Largely because of this, Russia has a large number of children who cannot boast of the first health group.

Also, do not fall for the tricks of furniture manufacturers and install the screen in a special niche. This is a bad idea, because many section manufacturers are not guided by anything but the issue of saving money. They place a niche at such a height that is convenient for them (for production or economic reasons). In this case, the height of the screen will not meet either medical or any other requirements. If the niche seems comfortable, then you need to sit on the sofa and look at the place where the TV will be installed. If there is no question of any discomfort, then you can not worry, because in this case everything is fine.

TV installation height in the bedroom

1. The bedroom is a special place in any house or apartment. It is customary to relax here. The height of the screen in such a room depends on the arrangement of furniture, as well as its parameters. It is advisable to mount the display on the wall. The best option is perpendicular to the bed. In this case, it will be possible to watch a movie even lying down or in a different position.
2. In no case should you experiment and install the TV in parallel. This is a big mistake, because then your eyes will get tired much faster.
3. The center of the TV should be directly in front of the eyes when it comes to the sitting position. It will not be superfluous to tilt the screen at least 30 degrees. Therefore, tilting will be an ideal solution if you need to make sure that the LCD TV does not lose contrast and the image is not too dark. This advice does not apply to devices whose monitor is made using a different technology, however, LCD screens have this feature, so not knowing about it is bad. By tilting the screen, you can watch your favorite movie even when lying down.

How to arrange TV in the nursery

How far is the TV from the floor? In the case of a nursery, special attention should be paid to the growth of the baby. The television panel should be positioned so that during the game the child could not touch it with either his hands or his head.

You also need to take into account the active games that the kid is fond of. If we are talking about a boy of seven or eight years old, then he can easily break the glass of the TV if he plays basketball right in his room. It is possible that it will be better to refuse the TV in the nursery at all, because broken glass can cause injury to the baby.

The active life of most children means that they can watch TV from various points in the room:

1. From the floor.
2. From the couch.
3. From the crib.
4. Standing somewhere in the middle or in the corner of the room.
5. From the table.
6. From a standing position.

At what height should the TV hang? The atmosphere of the room also matters. If the room has a lot of low chairs, it is best to hang the TV lower. Otherwise, the child will be uncomfortable and considerable harm may be caused to his vision.

Choosing hardware for installing a TV

Before you hang the TV, you need to study all the most popular types of fasteners. It will not be superfluous to carefully read the instructions. Moreover, some even open YouTube video hosting and try to find video instructions there. This is a great idea, because with it, installing the screen is even easier.

Usually, only 3 types of brackets are used for installation:

1. Universal.
2. Hard.
3. Inclined.

Universal brackets are considered the most convenient, however, their price will scare away many. That is why buyers often choose rigid or inclined brackets. Rigid ones are best suited for situations where you need to install the screen stationary and without the ability to adjust the viewing angle. Inclined brackets are the ideal solution for those who would like to adjust the height of the screen. We can say with confidence that it is not worth buying hard brackets, because then the device will be fixed strictly in one position.

How to hang a TV on your own

At what height do I hang the TV on the wall? If the buyer of the TV does not trust the masters and wants to install it on their own, then to complete this task you need to not only study the instructions, but be careful and even smart during installation. You also need to prepare for the installation by taking a drill or a perforator.

1. First you need to choose the place where the screen will be installed. It should be a wall capable of supporting a weight of more than 25 kg.
2. A set of hardware that is needed to install the wall element of the bracket is usually included, so most often you just need to drill a hole, and then install the profile.
3. Then you need to fix another part of the bracket to the panel.
4. When everything is ready, you need to start installing the TV. After that, the installation will be completed, and the master will be able to enjoy watching your favorite movie.

TIP! In order to make a hole in concrete, you need to use a drill on concrete. If we are talking about a wooden wall or drywall, then you can use a special drill for wood. That will be quite enough.
