When placing a TV in your bedroom or living room, there are a few factors to consider to ensure you have an optimal viewing experience and approve of the placement of your television. When putting a TV in your bedroom, you must consider the placement of your bed. If you are mounting the TV, place it either at the foot of the bed or on a wall opposite the bed for optimal viewing. The distance between the TV and the bed must also be considered. The ideal distance to mount your TV from the bed is about 7 feet (2.1 meters) for a 55-inch television. The TV should also be mounted at eye level when seated in bed to avoid straining your neck. Avoid mounting the television too high on the wall because this can also cause discomfort while watching TV in bed.
If you choose to only have a TV in your living room, you will also want to consider some of the same factors. If you decide to mount your living room TV, it should be mounted at eye level when seated. This will provide a more comfortable viewing experience. In the living room, the distance between the TV and the seating area is similar to the space in the bedroom. For a 55-inch TV, the ideal distance is about 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) from the screen. Avoid placing your TV in direct sunlight, as it can cause a glare on the screen. Finally, if you have a fireplace, avoid putting your television above it. Mounting a TV above a fireplace may look aesthetically pleasing, but the heat it emits can be damaging to the TV over time. It is important to find the right balance between aesthetics and functionality when placing a TV in either your bedroom or living room.
