Robert asks…

What height should my flat screen tv be from the floor?

I am thinking of buying a flat screen tv but am limited to the amount of wall space i have above my fire place. Is there a correct height , so to speak to mount a flat screen tv of either Plasma design or LCD?

Victoria answers:

1st, not a good idea to mount it over a fireplace! However, as to your specific question about height, for optimal viewing, not necessarily from a decorator’s view point, the set should be placed at a height where the bottom of the screen (minimum) to the middle of the screen (max) is at eye level, when sitting where you will do most of your watching. Again, for optimal viewing, there are no exceptions to this rule.

Ken asks…

wall mounted flat screen, how high?

what is a recommended height from floor to centre of screen on a wall mounted tv
thanks

Victoria answers:

It depends on how high your eye level is when you’re sitting in the room. Measure the distance from the floor to your eye and mount the television so that the middle of it is even with that measurement.

William asks…

Hanging a Plasma or LCD Tv on the Wall?

Does anyone know what the proper height is to mount the electric & cable outlets when you planning on hanging a flat screen tv on the wall? The ceilings are 7foot high & I was figuring around 50 inches but wanted some opinions. Thanks!

Also, I do not have the TV or the TV mount, I am just planning ahead.

Victoria answers:

Put your outlets at about 3.5 or 4 feet from the ground, id suggest 3.5. 90 percent of the mounts out there use the same wall plate and they are 8in. Tall, you want your outlets lower cause almost all tvs have the inputs and power on the bottom or the lower half of the set. I am an installer and this is how i do it. The wall plate should be at 4.5 to 5 feet at the top, again id suggest 4.5. When mounted this should put the top of your set at about 6 to 6.5 feet and the bottom at about 3 feet. This will be a good height for the set and cover up your cutouts for the electric and cables. P.s. Dont run cable for the tv by the eletric keep it standard height, if you want more than your local channels in hd you will need a hd cable box or hd satellite receiver and should run component and audio cables in the wall or a hdmi cable which does audio and video in one cable. Its an expensive cable put will be a much cleaner hook-up. Dont forget anything else you want to hook up to the tv, make sure you run the proper cables for them as well. One strong suggestion i can make is measure and remeasure, even make templates if necessary cause once you start cutting and drilling its a pain in the ass to go back and fix

tv wall mount question?

i want to order a wall mount and i found a cheap price for one on amazon. It says that it fits flat screen tvs up to 37 inches but will it definetally fit tvs in that range no matter what or is there a chance that some tvs wont be able to get mounted on to.

Here is our new living room.

Living Room

As you can see there is a cutout area above the fireplace for a TV. It has power and a cable hookup in the cutout area. The hole is 20 inches deep and will comfortably fit a 40" Sony Bravia TV.

Is the logical solution to just use a base for the tv and set it in that hole?

Are there advantages to doing a wall-mount in this situation?

Thanks!

Are all new flat screen tvs wall mountable?

If the online specs give a weight with and without the tv stand does that mean it is indeed wall mountable?

Also, wall mounts seem to come in sizes 22-37 in and 37-55 in, etc… if you got a 37 inch tv, do you get the bigger mount?

I want to use my dvd player with a HOTEL TV?

I’m currently at a hotel that has a really nice LCD 32 in flat screen wall mounted tv…..I brought the PS2 for games/movies and find out the room doesnt have a DVD player and so I plugg in my PS2 to the correct inputs and find out that the input button is blocked so you cannot go to the input channel….the menu button on the TV is also blocked….(I press them and nothing happens) I called the service desk and they said that they have done this to prevent use of dvd players which makes you purchase their expensive pay per view movies….
-Im having trouble finding the model number but again its a 32 in lcd flat panel tv
-Ive tried going down in channels to find the input channel with no luck

a possible solutions i thought of
-purchase a unversal remote control and program it to the tv which could allow me to use the input button

there must be some kind of button sequence on the tv that allows you to access the input channels or menu funtion

please help me out
looking at a manual for the tv online it looks like with parental controls you can block the input channels….but the menu is still blocked….hmm and even if i get into the menu…the parental controls would have a password on it….
-is there a way to reset the tv?
Ok 3 of you so far say theres no way and the 4th guy (that is how I have it connected but again the hotel has the input channel locked)

I found out how to do it
-I bought the ps2 RF modulator which allows you to use the cable going into the tv which allows you to use channel 4 for playing movies/games

How do I get Crayon off of a TV screen?

tv wall mounts-brand name?

I saw a mount for flat screen TVs (in Sears) that was four small studs that fit the back of the TV and four small "holders" that fit screw on to the wall. There was no swivel capability so the TV would not move. The sales rep cannot remember the brand. THere were priced around .00. Any one know the brand?? Thank you.

Here are the specs. the price with taxes will be 3 bucks.

Hah yep. We’ve been married one year since yesterday and we celebrated and each bought an anniversary present for the other. I bought him something he’s been wanting for years, and he was ecstatic. His present for me is a different story… he bought a flatscreen tv.. to hang on our bedroom wall. Seems like he bought it for himself, because I don’t even like watching TV especially in bed when I’m strictly in there for two things, and watching television is not one of those.

I tried not to make a big deal because I didn’t want to start a fight on our special day. I just told him that something more thoughtful would have been nice. I’m not demanding a new anniversary gift or anything… but blah. I’m just disappointed and feel as though he’s not taking this seriously.

What do you think? Am I over reacting?
Yep. I wanted a pair of earrings, I even pointed them out to him a week ago, so he would know exactly where to get them.
No, I won’t use the TV. I don’t even use the one in the living room. Now I have to put up with him watching it while I’m trying to sleep.

Mounting your flat screen on the wall?

We have a toddler & are considering the option to mount our new flat screen to the wall. However, we live in an older home with plaster walls. We would have the store (Best Buy) mount it for us to insure that it was safely done.
Has anyone experienced any problems with mounting your TV? I’m also wondering about how ugly the wires & cables will look hanging down???
Good & Bad experiences welcome. Thanks!

I’m wall mounting my flat screen, and I want to know how I can get it so the cords aren’t visible? Everyone else doesn’t have their cords visible, so I’m a little confused.

FLAT SCREEN TV'S PLUS STANDS?

Hi:

A friend of mine gave me a flat screen television and I’m anxious to put it up BUT I don’t want to hang it on the wall. I want to it to sit on my entertainment center but it doesn’t have a stand. So is it possible to find a stand if it did’t come with one? If so, where can I buy just the stand.

Thanks
Beccan
