FAQ
What size TV is best for a home theater?
A dedicated theater is where you go as big as the room allows for full cinema immersion. A 77–100"+ TV at 9–14 ft works well for most home theater 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 home theater where you stand or look up.
