The ideal height for mounting a TV isn’t one-size-fits-all—it varies based on the type of room and the bracket you use. In a living room, the TV should typically be at eye level when you’re seated. But in bedrooms or kitchens, it might be mounted higher for better visibility while lying down or standing.

This is where the type of bracket makes a big difference. For example, a tilting mount allows you to place the TV higher than eye level while still angling the screen down for a comfortable viewing experience. That’s especially useful when wall space or furniture layout limits your mounting options.

By considering both the room layout and the right type of bracket, you can achieve the perfect balance between style, comfort, and picture quality. Our calculator takes all these factors into account to give you the best mounting recommendation—whether it’s for a cozy bedroom setup or a modern kitchen display.

How to mount your 65 inch TV the right way?

TV Mounting Height for 65 Inch TV

Mounting a 65 inch TV at the right height is essential for comfortable viewing and a sleek wall setup. Our online calculator helps you instantly determine the optimal height based on your seating position, room type, and viewing distance — already preloaded for a 65-inch screen.

What to Measure Before Using the Calculator

To get the most accurate result, we recommend measuring the following:

  • Viewing distance – measure the distance (in feet) between your main seating area and where the TV will be mounted on the wall.
  • Eye level – sit in your usual spot and measure the height from the floor to your eyes. This helps align the TV center with your natural viewing position.
  • Furniture or fireplace height – if you’re mounting above a TV stand, console, or fireplace, measure the height of that object. The calculator will adjust placement accordingly.

Once you have these numbers, enter them into the calculator above. You’ll receive a precise recommendation tailored for your 65 inch TV and setup.

Recommended Mounting Height and Viewing Distance

For most living rooms, the center of a 65 inch TV should be positioned about 42 to 46 inches from the floor — roughly at eye level when seated. The ideal viewing distance is typically 8 to 10 feet, depending on screen resolution and viewing habits.

What Type of Wall Mount Should You Use?

With a 65 inch TV, you’ll want a secure and versatile wall mount. We typically recommend:

  • Fixed mount – for a minimalist, flush-to-wall appearance
  • Tilt mount – useful if mounting higher than eye level
  • Full-motion mount – ideal for larger rooms or corner placements

Our calculator will also suggest compatible mounts based on your wall type and TV weight — all tested and trusted by our installation team.
