Neck pain from watching TV is a mounting height problem. Here is the correct height and how to fix it.
Mount the centre of your TV at your seated eye level. For most people sitting upright on a standard sofa, this is approximately 105 cm (41 inches) from the floor.
| Seating Position | Eye Level | TV Centre Target |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa - upright | ~105 cm | 105 cm (41") |
| Sofa - relaxed | ~100 cm | 100 cm (39") |
| Sofa - reclined | ~90 cm | 90 cm (35") |
| Recliner chair | ~85 cm | 85 cm (33") |
Tilting bracket: Angling the screen downward 10-15 degrees significantly reduces neck strain even if the mount height stays the same.
Full-motion arm: Allows you to extend the TV from the wall and tilt it toward your seating. More expensive but maximum flexibility.
