It is quite common for us to choose the location of the television a little by eye, playing with where we will watch it (e.g. on the couch or in bed), the architecture of the room and where it will fit. Sometimes this choice can be very close to ideal, but it is better not to risk it and be clear What is the best location to place your television?.

A television placed in a bad place This not only means that we may experience neck or visual discomfort as a result of having to exert effort, but it also means that we cannot take full advantage of the TV’s features. In any case, it is important to start from the basics: Ideally, those who go to watch TV do so in a natural and unforced posture.

Regarding the ideal location of the TV, we will consider height, distance and orientation.

How far?

Reply It will depend on both the size and resolution of the television. and in reality the question is often asked the other way around… or so it should be: After considering where we will sit, measure the distance to the hypothetical location where the TV will be placed (whether it is open or not). an auxiliary piece of furniture, on a shelf or hanging from the wall) and from there choose what diagonal our future TV should be. However, you may have more than one place as a potential placement candidate.

Although there is no single general rule and, in fact, there are different criteria depending on whether these come from imaging experts or manufacturers (although we must not forget that the latter is the relevant side in the equation), there is a certain approximate quorum that relates resolutions in diagonals and distance ranges. :

Now, the distance data in the table refers to: minimum distancei.e. right in front of the screen. One point that serves as a preview of the next section: orientation.

TV direction

The first thing we need to keep in mind is that we should. place in a position perpendicular to windows.

From here, in an ideal monitoring scenario, the horizontal angle of the screen will be the same as the angle captured by the camera when shootingSo much so that we who watch TV perceive the same relationships as the original recording… but this is not possible because the recording angles vary depending on the focal length of the lenses.

It’s important to note that the human field of view is approximately 135 degrees horizontally, and the ideal for an immersive experience is to occupy it completely, but there are subtle prints: while it applies to cinema, it does not apply to a cinema. football match.. So in practice Ideally, it should be right in front of the person watching TV. This.

Perfect height

The sentence that summarizes this topic is this:The bottom frame of the TV should be at eye level..

…but in practice it is not universal or uniform data. Firstly, because the height of each person is different, and secondly, because watching TV on the couch is not the same as lying in bed, so it is better to bet on it. considering the average height among the inhabitants of the house and where we will settle.

So, if we are sitting on the couch in the living room, it may be around 1 meter, but if we are in the kitchen and we are going to see it while standing, it may be around 1.3 meters.
