How high should i mount a 42 " LCD on the wall to view comfortabily from a sofa ? -- Dell Inspiron Pentium dual-core 2.2 GHz 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- You should mount it high enough to view comfortabily (sic) from a sofa. Before we mounted our 42" on the wall, I made a temporary adjustable stand and tried various heights before settling on a height that was comfortable for various viewing positions - sitting in the recliner, reclining in the recliner, sitting on the sofa, reclining on the sofa, etc. We also determined that we needed a mount that swiveled horizontally so we could angle the TV for people sitting at the far end of one of the sofas. BTW the 42" decision was made after measuring the various viewing distances from the various pieces of furniture and looking up the recommendations for those distances. You want to choose the biggest TV possible for your average viewing distance. Too small is a waste and too big may result in reduced quality. IMHO, too big is a much bigger mistake than too small. P.S. Buy your mount (and cables) from monoprice. http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...09&cp_id=10828 |
