- The size of the television screen
- The height of the viewer's seated eye level
- The distance between the viewer and the television
Here are some general guidelines for mounting a plasma television:
- The center of the television screen should be at eye level when you are seated in your normal viewing position.
- This usually means mounting the television so that the bottom of the screen is about 42 inches (107 cm) from the floor.
- If you have a particularly large television or you sit far away from it, you may need to mount it a little higher so that the entire screen is visible.
- Conversely, if you have a small television or you sit close to it, you may need to mount it a little lower.
It's important to mount the television at a height that is comfortable for you to watch, without having to strain your neck or eyes.
The following table provides some general recommendations for mounting heights based on television screen size:
| Television Screen Size | Recommended Mounting Height (Inches) |
|---|---|
| 32 inches or smaller | 42 |
| 37 inches | 45 |
| 42 inches | 48 |
| 47 inches | 51 |
| 52 inches | 54 |
| 57 inches | 57 |
| 65 inches or larger | 60 |
These are just general guidelines, and you may need to adjust the mounting height of your television to suit your specific needs.
