The Television Height from the Ground calculator computes the ideal height the ground to mount a television (TV) based on the size of the TV, the height of one's eye when viewing and the comfort angle.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (EH) Height of the eye when viewing.
  • (S) Size of the TV
  • (VA) Comfortable viewing angle

Television Height front the Ground (TGH):  The calculator returns the answer in inches.  However this can be automatically changed to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

Measure the distance from the floor to your eyes to find out how high you’ll be sitting. In regards to viewing angle, per the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, you’ll want the TV to be mounted for a viewing angle of not more than 30 degrees. Most people, however, casually sit between 10 to 15 degrees reclined.

As a rule, a 42” television should be mounted about 56 inches from floor to TV center, a 55” TV should be around 61 inches, a 65” TV should be around 65 inches’ floor to center, and a 70” television should be mounted about 67 inches to the center of the screen.
