Mounting Over a Mantel
When it comes to mounting over a mantel, you typically need to mount the television a bit higher than normal. Sometimes the television may end up being too high for personal preference. The solution is the Transcend Series mounts. The Transcend Series mounts provide a full motion to not only move the television side to side, but also up and down. This allows you to lower your television to eye level when you plan on watching it.
The Mounting Formula
When it comes to mounting a TV, the best preference is your own. Many argue that eye level is the best placement, however, some people prefer their televisions to be placed higher.
The basic mounting formula to create the eye level viewing is the height of the seating plus 24 inches. The average height of a couch is about 19 inches, add 24, and you get 42 inches. The center of your television should be around 42 inches off the ground.
Of course the larger the television the more you’re going to need to adjust the formula. The center of a 55 inch television should be at 61″ inches from the floor, and the center of a 65 inch television should be around 65″ from the floor.
