Bracket heights by TV size

Pre-calculated bracket heights for common TV sizes with standard upright couch seating (105cm eye level). Bracket height is where the bottom of the TV sits — this is where you drill.

TV Size	TV Height	Bracket Height (drill here)	TV Center	Top Edge
43″	54cm / 21″	78cm / 31″	105cm / 41″	132cm / 52″
50″	62cm / 24″	74cm / 29″	105cm / 41″	136cm / 54″
55″	69cm / 27″	71cm / 28″	105cm / 41″	139cm / 55″
65″	81cm / 32″	64cm / 25″	105cm / 41″	146cm / 57″
75″	94cm / 37″	58cm / 23″	105cm / 41″	152cm / 60″
85″	106cm / 42″	52cm / 20″	105cm / 41″	158cm / 62″

💡

The golden rule: mount the center of the TV at seated eye level, typically 105cm for standard couch seating. Not the top of the TV — the center.

⚠️

Always mount into wall studs, never drywall alone. A 55-inch TV weighs 15-20kg. Use a stud finder before drilling.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Mount the center of your TV at seated eye level — typically 105cm (41 inches) from the floor for standard upright couch seating. This keeps your neck in a neutral position during extended viewing. Mounting too high is the most common TV setup mistake.

Drill the bracket at the “bracket height” shown in the results — this is where the bottom of the TV will sit. The calculator accounts for your TV’s height and places the center at eye level. Always verify with a spirit level before drilling.

Looking upward at a sustained 10-15 degree angle for 2+ hours compresses the cervical spine and causes muscle fatigue. This is the cause of the “TV neck” pain many people experience after watching a wall-mounted TV mounted too high.

Use the average eye level of the people who watch most frequently. If viewers include both upright and reclined positions, the upright position (105cm) is usually the better reference since reclined viewers are more tolerant of slight downward angles.
