The holidays come fast as many of us are preparing our homes for festive gatherings and cozy nights. Entertainment also plays a big role in putting everyone in the right mood, starting with your TV mounting setup. Whether it is a holiday marathon or a game of football with the people you enjoy being surrounded by.
It is important to have your TV in the ideal location for a better experience. Not only does a properly mounted TV improve the aesthetic of a space, but it also keeps the room open. Also, makes it functional during the holidays – which is just how we like to feel: festive and functional!
Choose the Right Location
Having a great spot for your TV is important. Especially during the holiday season when your living room becomes the hub of your home. The first place should be how the seating arrangement is going to take place. You want the TV to be visible from every seat comfortably, with nobody having to turn their head or look at an awkward angle.
Consider the natural light when visualizing your space. Placing the TV opposite a bank of large windows can mean glare, especially as sunlight streams in at different times of day. The ideal position is to have a wall where there are fewer reflections and still get a nice picture.
Also, consider whether holidays you decorate for how your decorations will add to the space. A TV wants to become part of your furnishings, not the other way around.
Otherwise, if you intend to decorate for the holidays with a Christmas tree or garland. Make sure that the TV is not in a location where those holiday items will obstruct your view. Still, do not place the TV where people walk by. That makes watching TV safer in a pathway where people will be coming and going during holiday celebrations. Opting for a smart, obstruction-free design can combine top with both practicality and style.
Select the Proper TV Mount
After you have discovered the ideal area for your TV Mounting, the next crucial step is to select a mount. The TV mount you choose will have a big impact on how useful your setup is. For a clean, modern vibe with that streamlined look, a fixed mount places your TV flat against the wall.
But if you plan to show things to larger groups and want the room to adjust the screen for different viewing angles, a swivel or tilt mount is a better bet. It allows you to rotate the TV towards different areas of the room so that everyone sees well from their seat on a sofa.
Always confirm to see if the mount is the proper size for your TV based on its size and overall weight. If you’re not sure which mount is right for you, please get in touch with us at King Installation.
Mount at the Ideal Height
Next, it is important to place your TV at the right height after you have selected the correct mount. However, the most common error is installing a television set too high on walls that are adjacent to fireplaces or in rooms with very tall ceilings. You want the middle of your screen to be at eye level when you’re sitting down. It will be both a comfortable viewing experience and keep from straining your neck.
Make sure that the TV is also not too high, which will cause viewers to look up for extended times. Also, consider the height of your seating, as different heights in sofas or recliners can change where they should be placed. It’s not always possible to mount a TV at the proper height, or this may not be desirable. Especially if you have a room over the fireplace, in which case a tilting mount is an alternative.
It is worth spending this time to get it right to not only make your TV look great but also to be in a comfortable position. For help with correct positioning, visit our TV wall mounting services at King Installation. We will do a secure and comfortable installation of your TV on the perfect level.
