Having known the side effects of mounting TV too high on the wall, let’s check different factors that are important to consider before knowing the right place for the TV on the wall.
Size of the TV:
The size of the TV is the first determining factor to decide how high a TV can be mounted on a wall. In this article, we are talking about only 65 inches TVs; so, if you are here, it means you have a 65 inches TV. Hence, you need not measure the TV size again.
How far to sit from a 65-inch tv?
Another critical factor that affects the TV mounting height is the viewing distance. The viewing distance is the distance between the TV and the viewer. So, before mounting the TV on the wall, measure the distance between your sofa (where you need to sit and watch TV) and your TV.
Note: The viewing distance of 65 inch TV must not be less than 8 feet; otherwise, you may suffer from eye strain.
Eye Level:
Eye level is the most crucial factor that helps you to determine the TV height. To measure the Eye-level, just sit on the sofa (or wherever you sit and watch TV), take a tape, and measure the distance from the floor to your eyes.
Normally, the eye level of an adult sitting on the sofa varies from 40 to 45 inches (according to the viewer’s height).
Perfect Mounting height of a 65 inch TV:
Now you have all the important factors measured in the above discussion. For example, you have measured viewing distance and eye level height. Moreover, the size of the TV is also known that is 65 inches. By solving the below-mentioned formula, it is easy to measure the exact height of a 65 inch TV.
TV Mounting Height= 0.22*(Viewing Distance) + height of Eye-level
For example, you are sitting on the sofa with an eye level of 42 inches, and the viewing distance is 108 inches. Now the mounting height of the TV should be according to the following calculations;
TV mounting Height= 0.22*108+42 = 65.75inches
