Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is mounting to eye level important?

Mounting a TV at seated eye level is crucial for an ergonomic and comfortable viewing experience. It prevents neck and eye strain by ensuring you are looking straight ahead at the screen, rather than up or down, which is especially important for long viewing sessions like watching movies or gaming.

What if I am mounting the TV above a fireplace?

Mounting a TV above a fireplace is generally not recommended as it is often too high for comfortable viewing and can expose the TV to heat. If you must do so, consider using a tilting wall mount that allows you to angle the screen downwards towards your seating area to reduce neck strain.
