How High On The Wall Should You Place Your TV Wall Mount
One common question that people ask after they have purchased their tv wall mount is how high on the wall should your television wall mount be placed? Well it all depends on the type of wall mount you purchased. If you bought an articulating wall mount, or a tilting wall mount, its not quite as important as if you purchased a swiveling or a standard wall mount because with the first two types of wall mounts you can always tilt the television for optimal viewing. However, if you purchased the type of wall mount that does not offer a tilting feature, chances are you will really want to think about where you should place it. Look around your room at all of the spots where you and your family and friends usually watch the television and take that into consideration when you are placing your tv wall mount.
If you are mounting a flat screen in your bedroom, chances are that you will be laying in your bed while you are watching tv, therefore, you would probably want to mount your television a little bit higher than you would if you were going to be watching the tv on a couch. All in all, the best thing to do is sit down where you watch tv the most a look at the wall where you will mount your tv and just go with whats comfortable for you. There is really no right or wrong place to mount your television. Just go with your gut, but just be careful, because one thing that you really do not want to do is mount your television and then realize that you want it to be in a different spot, this will just cause a lot of extra work, and frustration. Do your research, think it over and stick with your decision.
