FAQ
What size TV is best for a basement?
Basements are naturally dark — ideal for a big screen with deep contrast. A 65–85" TV at 8–13 ft works well for most basement setups.
How high should I mount the TV?
Aim for eye level when seated — the center of the screen roughly 42–48" off the floor for a seated room, higher only in a basement where you stand or look up.
