At what height to hang the TV in the bedroom?

After repairs in the bedroom, many update the equipment in this room. After buying a TV, many do not know how high to hang it. After all, from its correct location will depend not only the convenience of viewing, but also security.

Before you decide at what height to hang the TV in the bedroom, you first need to decide where it will be located. It will depend on the correct choice of location and viewing comfort, and the height at which the device itself will hang.

To determine the location, you must lie on a sofa or bed in a bedroom in a comfortable and familiar position. Now it is necessary to determine which wall the TV should be mounted on so that it is as comfortable and comfortable as possible to watch it.

Experienced experts say that the optimal location is a point drawn in a straight line from the center of the bed to the wall, and the height of this point will be adjusted later.With this arrangement, the TV will be clearly visible to all people who are located in the bedroom, and when you watch it there will be no inconvenience.

If the device will be hung in a single room or a nursery, it must be placed along a diagonal line from the center of the bed. In this case, even when turning, there will be no discomfort when viewing, and the screen will be clearly visible from any position.

You can choose the optimum height of the TV on the wall in one of two ways. The first is based on the usual convenience of viewing it, and the second on the medical recommendations and advice of the manufacturer.

• Determine the height level where the bracket mounts will be located if lie down in your favorite pose on the bed, close your eyes for a second, and then abruptly open them and immediately look at the wall. The point at which your eyes rest, and will be the middle of the television screen. So, it is here that the main bracket will be located.Choosing this option, it should be understood that it does not take into account such parameters as the distance from the bed to the wall and the dimensions of the screen diagonal. So, choosing this method, you can not be sure about the safety and comfort of your eyes when watching TV, hung in this way.
• The second method is based on mathematical calculations and medical advice.. The optimal distance between the eyes and the device with a liquid crystal screen is considered to be its diagonal multiplied by three, and for plasma screens it is the product of the diagonal and the number 4.

New TVs with LED or 3D panel can have absolutely any screen diagonal size, but a different extension, for example 720 or 1080 units. The mounting height of such TVs is calculated using a special formula:

1. For TVs with screen expansion 720 units mounting height equals the product of the screen diagonal by a factor of 2.3.
2. For TVs with an extension 1080 units this value is equal to the product of the diagonal by a factor of 1.6.

Many doctors-ophthalmologists say that the minimum distance from the eye to the TV can not be less than its diagonal, multiplied by two. This recommendation is fully justified, but it does not take into account the type of screen of this device and the value of its resolution. Therefore, this method of calculating the distance from the eye to the screen is applicable only to older models.

In order to watch the TV attached to the wall was not only convenient, but also safe, it is recommended to follow the following tips during its installation:

1. Maximum deflection angle from the TV screen when viewing should not exceed 30 degrees.
2. The minimum height from the floor to install the TV can not be less than 1 meter. Otherwise there is a risk that the TV can be caught inadvertently and it will fall.
3. It is best to place the sockets in the distance no more than 45 cm from the central bracket.
4. It is very important to take into account the height of the furniture.above which the gadget will be located. The minimum distance from the dresser or armrests of the sofa to it is 25 cm.
5. Whenever possible it is better to install an adjustable bracket.. This will allow, if necessary, to change the angle of the TV, depending on the position on the bed and the number of people who will watch it.
6. If the TV is installed in the children's bedroomit is best not to be limited to just one bracket. It is best to purchase a special wall mount for the TV. In general, the height for its installation is selected by any of the above methods.
7. When buying a bracket, make surethat he can handle the weight of your TV. It is best to buy brackets specifically designed for your TV model.
8. It is recommended to check periodically.how secure the TV is.

Finally, once again I would like to note that the correct height to which the TV should be mounted in the bedroom should be chosen in accordance with all the above parameters, that is, the height of the furniture, the size of the room, the distance from the screen to the eyes.Only in this case it is possible to choose the correct and safe height for its fastening.
