What Size TV Should I Get?

TV size is easiest to judge from your normal viewing position. A screen that feels enormous in a store can feel very different across a living room, so the calculator uses viewing distance and your preferred level of immersion to suggest a practical size.

How High Should a TV Be Mounted?

Comfortable mounting starts with seated eye height. In a standard setup, keeping the screen center reasonably close to your natural viewing line can reduce the need to look upward for long periods.

TV Size Above a Media Console

The TV and console should look intentional together. The calculator compares the recommended screen width with your console so you can evaluate the proportion before buying or mounting.

TV Above a Fireplace

Fireplaces often push a television higher than a standard wall installation. Check the actual mantel and fireplace dimensions, viewing angle, manufacturer clearances and heat conditions before committing to the placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate TV size from viewing distance?

Enter the distance from your usual seat to the TV wall. The calculator uses that measurement with your viewing preference to suggest a practical screen size.

What height should the center of my TV be?

A useful starting point is your seated eye height, adjusted for the room and installation. The calculator uses your measured seated eye height rather than a one-size-fits-all wall height.

Should the TV be wider than the media console?

Many setups look more balanced when the console visually anchors the television. Use the console measurements above to compare the two widths.
