The bottom of my flatscreen is at eye level...but that's where my war department wanted it. YMMV

Your spouse is right, even if she's wrong. Listen to her wants, fulfill
them, and you'll be happy...for the most part.

The bottom of my flat screen is just below eye level when sitting in my
recliner or on the couch. Looking straight ahead, I'm looking at the bottom
third of the screen. There is no neck strain because we don't have to look
up by lifting our heads. It's all done with the eyes.

Right now mine is to high on a table, intended to be wall mounted (I
have the swivel mount). Research tells me not to mount where I
previously intended. (plenty of reasons)

I have ideas and planning to build a stand for the TV. the center of
the panel will be in relation to the visual view.

This will give a start. I have link somewhere on the center height
and eye level and the distance across the room.

This is a start:

A bit higher (1/3 above), but it depends on how you're sitting. If
you're in a recliner, it should be a little higher than that.

Above a fireplace? Nuts.

Eye level for mine is about 1/3 down from the top. You should never
have to look up to view.

Most recommendations are to have the middle about eye level.

Obviously, it depends largely on the position you will be in watching it. A
straight chair, recliner, or lieing in bed would all suggest different
solutions.

No way in heck I'd do something like buy a flat

my time with a computer and CRT, reading alt
home repair. If I had a flat screen TV, I'd put
the dumb thing on the curb, and hope someone
took it in the next few minutes.

Ours is installed on an end table now...resisting efforts of hubby to

Do you remember the old black and white TV? I
remember Mom had me sit back at least six feet
because of the radiation that came out of it.

Just imagine, the modern generation getting brain
damage from the radiation. They won't be able to

I understand your point, but I question your logic.

Based on the fact that your husband wants to hang the TV on the wall, it
sounds like you are not going to get rid of it anytime soon. So, since
it's going to be around for a while, shouldn't you be asking yourself
"Which would look better: keeping the TV on the end table or mounting it on
the wall?"

I understand that once it has been mounted you are going to consider it
"permanent", but isn't it just as much a permanent part of the decor
sitting on the end table?

In other words, if I walked into the room with the TV today, would I say to
myself "Oh, I see that the TV is in a temporary location" or would I just
assume that there is where you want it?

Again, I understand that once it has been mounted on the wall your mind is
going to say "Damn...now it's permanent" but isn't it just as permanent
where it sits now?

According to Straight Dope, somewhere around 30 people a year are killed by their flat screen toppling on them.

I wonder how many more are destroyed by the dog or kids knocking them over.

I wasn't killed, but I did need surgery because of my flat screen.

I was getting ready to mount it on the wall and realized that needed to run
out to get some toggle bolts. I didn't want to leave the TV on the floor
just in case the dogs got curious, so I put one hand on the bottom and one
on the top to lift it onto the couch.

It felt like an electric shock went through my arm. The tendon popped off
of my elbow and rolled up into my upper arm. I had surgery the next week to
reattach it to my elbow. I'm pretty active and had never had any trouble
lifting things, even much heavier things, before. I guess it was just the
position of my arm or just a freak thing.

I did manage, with the help of my son, to get it mounted that day even
though I had limited use of one arm.

I've been extremely nearsighted all my life and when I was about to
start first grade, I was taken to the optometrist to get my eyes
checked. When I got my eyeglasses, I looked around and said, "Wow, so
that's where all that noise is coming from!" I recall something about me
being -8 in one eye and -9 in the other. I got new eyeglasses this year
and along with the eye exam, the two pair cost $1,100.00. One for
siting in front of the computer and a pair of varifocal glasses for
walking and driving in the real world. The retina of my right developed
dead spots which is rough because my right eye was my best eye. I can't

Our living room gets most use when kids and grandkids visit....there are
no "tots" in the group...and TV is secondary. It is more likely someone
will find a video on a tablet or phone to share then. One consideration
is the layout and traffic pattern of the LR, and the other is that I
like to rearrange the LR now and then. The LR is long, with front door
on one long side and archway to DR on the other long wall, so those
complicate it. Other than preferring to have pictures hanging on the
wall, once in place we are stuck with a wall-hung TV unless we want to
patch and repaint or? We have a smaller TV in guest bedroom and plan to
make a "man cave" (girls allowed) in the basement....area for TV, board
games, etc. We acquired five step-grandkids last year, so our family
has growth spurts of rather large people to fit into our home )

I think all flat screens should have warning labels. "DO NOT LIFT FROM
BOTTOM WITH ONE ARM" Manufacturers should be required to put handles on
the top and have cushions if they fall over. In addition, every set
ever made should be recalled and retrofitted with these important safety
devices. Its for the children.

middle of the screen should be eye level when you’re
sitting comfortably when in front of a couch. They
say that if you install it higher than that you will
strain your neck. I did exactly that and now I’m
having an argument with my spouse who says it’s
too low. What height is your flat screen TV and why?


No way in heck I'd do something like buy a flat
screen TV. Nothing on worth watching. I spend
my time with a computer and CRT, reading alt
home repair. If I had a flat screen TV, I'd put
the dumb thing on the curb, and hope someone
took it in the next few minutes.


Once you go flat, you won't go back.
Nobody wants a CRT any more.
Put one out for the Cancer Society pickup and they would not take it.

Well yes, your mind would find a lot of that trash informative and
broadening.

Perhaps you can comment on science of the mind of a psychotic killer?

If, it was MSNBC or a liberal media show?

From everything I read on the internet it says to install a flat screen TV eye level when in the most comfortable posture. That means the vertical middle of the screen should be eye level when you’re sitting comfortably when in front of a couch. They say that if you install it higher than that you will strain your neck. I did exactly that and now I’m having an argument with my spouse who says it’s too low. What height is your flat screen TV and why?


Mine is higher. The bottom of the TV is at the height of my head when
I'm sitting down to watch TV. I didn't plan it that way. That's the
height of the old record cabinet I'm using as a TV stand. I think lower
(as you say) would be worse (especially with a big cat in my lap).
