Estimate only — not a calibrated SPL meter, an acoustic report or an electrical design. Confirm with measurement.
TV Wall Mount Height (Eye-Level) Calculator
A living-room default is centre at seated eye height. Theaters often drop the centre a few centimetres so reclining still hits the middle third.

Calculation method
Centre = eye height + offset. Bottom = centre − TV height / 2.
Exact formula
c = h_eye + δ. Limits: no fireplace, no tilt, no standing-watching kitchen pass-through.
Frequently asked questions
Standing TV height?
That is a different eye height — about 1.6 m. Do not average standing and sitting.
Soundbar below?
Add the bar height under the bottom. The centre then sits higher.
Tilt?
A few degrees of down-tilt can replace a negative offset on a high mount.
