The do’s and don’ts to consider while choosing a location for your tv

Consider the height

The television should not be at a height wherein you need to crane your neck to view it. It might give you the feel of a movie theatre but only for a while, after which it will be painful viewing. Ideally the centre of the TV should be placed at eye-level or lower than it.

Consider placement

The lightings of the house interfere with the reflective screens of the TV thus obstructing clear viewing. Endure no direct lights are falling on the screen. Also in the case of LCD TV sets make sure the screen can be moved around to get better resolution and quality from all the angles.

For placement, another important thing to decide is whether you want to place the television on a stand or mount it.

Consider distance

Sitting too far away from the television hampers the ideal viewing as much as sitting too close. Many consider the ‘too close’ factor but ignore the too far aspect. For immersive view and more resolution sitting closer than away is recommended.
Other things to consider are the safety and style. Also, avoid placing the TV above a fireplace and if you prefer viewing from afar then consider buying a larger set.
