A 60-inch television is about 32 inches high, meaning the center of the screen will be at 16 inches from the bottom of the television. Most sofa seating heights are close to 18 inches above the floor, and eye level for an adult seated in a relaxed manner is about 24 inches above the seat.<\/p>\n<p>That puts the center-of-television height for a typical seated viewer at 42 inches (18 inches + 24 inches). So that 60-inch television should be installed with the bottom of the screen at 26 inches above the floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Hope this post has helped you achieve a more comfortable atmosphere for relaxing and watching TV.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\">Lilly Cordeiro<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\">Sunlight Heritage Homes<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><small>\u00a0<\/small><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#444;\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#444;\"><small>\u00a0<\/small><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mounting A Television Ever wonder how high you should be mounting your TV?
