Wall Mounted TV: How to Mount, Position, and Style Your TV for Best Results

When you install a wall mounted TV, a television fixed directly to a wall using a bracket instead of sitting on a stand. Also known as wall-mounted display, it saves space, reduces clutter, and lets you fine-tune your viewing angle for maximum comfort. But putting a TV on the wall isn’t just about drilling holes—it’s about getting the height right, choosing the right bracket, and making sure it fits your room’s layout.

A TV wall mount height, the ideal vertical position for your TV screen relative to your seated eye level. Also known as viewing height, it’s the single most overlooked factor in home theater setups. Too high, and you’ll strain your neck. Too low, and you’ll feel like you’re watching from a basement. Studies show most people sit with their eyes about 40 to 45 inches off the floor. That means the center of your TV should land around that range. For a 65-inch screen, that’s usually about 61 inches from the floor to the middle of the screen. And yes, it makes a difference—people who adjust this one thing report less neck pain and longer movie nights.

Then there’s the TV mounting guide, a set of practical steps to safely install a TV on a wall without damaging the structure or risking the device. Not all walls are the same. Drywall? You need studs. Brick or concrete? You’ll need special anchors. And that bracket? Make sure it’s rated for your TV’s weight and size. A 65-inch TV can weigh over 50 pounds. Cheap brackets fail. Don’t risk it. Look for VESA compatibility—those four screw holes on the back of your TV need to match the mount. Most modern TVs use 200x200 or 400x400 patterns. Check the manual. Or just Google your model + VESA size.

And don’t forget the TV stand sizing, the width and depth of the surface your TV sits on, whether it’s a console, media cabinet, or floating shelf. Even if your TV is on the wall, you still need a surface for your soundbar, game console, or streaming box. A stand that’s too narrow looks awkward. Too wide, and it eats up floor space. Most people pick a stand that’s 80% of the TV’s width. So for a 65-inch screen (about 57 inches wide), aim for a 45-inch stand. It’s not a rule—it’s just what looks balanced.

What you’ll find in these posts isn’t theory. It’s what people actually do. How to measure eye level for your couch. Why mounting too high ruins movie nights. Which brackets hold up over time. What to do when your wall has no studs. How a 65-inch TV differs from a 60-inch one in real space. You’ll see real examples, real mistakes, and real fixes—no fluff, no marketing jargon. Just what works in a living room, a bedroom, or a basement setup.
