Yes, both are at eye level. Dont want to look up.

MIne is on top of an old upright piano - definitely above eye level. Kinda like at a sports bar :) I don't watch much TV though so I don't know if it would be comfortable for those who view for longer times.

Definitely a must for me - my neck easily gets strained and it doesn't take long.

Yes, eye level in the TV room. In other rooms they are higher and I don't like them.

No...it's slightly above when we sit on the sofa and not an issue for us. It is tilted forward slightly for better viewing. It's over a credenza.

Yes, it is but I could live with it being a smidge higher, as long as I don’t have to look up.

on my fireplace mantel

Mine (which is used primarily as a computer display) is probably three or four inches higher than eye level.

However, I'm usually sitting in a recliner, leaning back somewhat so that the center is about line of sight or slightly lower.

I think it's just at eye level when we are sitting down. Very comfortable.

I find eye level most comfortable and that's where ours are.

Eye level if I'm sitting up. Above eye level if I'm bagging out binge-watching when the weather is bad.

Nope. One is on the fireplace mantel and the one in the bedroom is on a dresser. We have a bracket on the wall to mount it on but we never got around to it. If and when we do it will obviously be above eye level. We both recline when we watch TV,so it is more comfortable that way.

Eye level from our living room chairs.

2 at approx eye level when seated, a third at about the same head level when reclining in our higher than average 4 poster bed. I don't think slightly higher would bother me with any of the tvs. I'd almost like the one in the bedroom higher but its on a swing out shelf in a wall cubby already installed when we bought the house so someone else chose the height. And may have had a lower bed.

Yes, the center of our TV's (one exception) are eye level when seated. That's most comfortable for us and guests.

The sun room TV is mounted higher to keep it above the morning sunlight. It's on a tilt mount for easy viewing.

Yes, mine is eye level while seated. Higher height is too hard on my neck.

the family room TV is eye level. The one in the bedroom is higher but it's mounted on a wall bracket that can extend out 24" into the room and the TV can be tilted for better viewing.

I think it depends how far away you are sitting. If it is very close to you should be lower. Farther away from you seating area, up higher is fine. How large is you room?

It is small. I think I will just let it sit on the current stand and remain at eye level.

How does the distance matter? Eye level is eye level, looking up is looking up.

well looking up can be having your neck cranked up if your 4 ft away or from a across a large room your eyes looking up...so I would say distance matters.

Mine is under a skirted table at the level old console TV’s used to be. Liking down a bit does not bother my neck and I prefer the TV to be hidden when not in use.

No, we sit somewhat reclining, and so we are already looking slightly up. The one in my bedroom is way above eye level, but I watch it lying down, and so that is where it should be.

If you sit rigidly upright, then the TV should be at eye level, but if you recline or lean back, then it should be higher. It is not a one size fits all. Also, if you watch it standing up, then eye level is higher up. I do not like to look down at a TV.

Size of TV and distance of seating from it are factors. Our TV is at picture height--so eye level if we were standing. From where we sit it does not FEEL like we are looking up at the TV.

Good point Lars. My kitchen TV is eye level when I am standing up. I placed it on an open shelf area and angled it towards the work area. I don't watch the bedroom TV so I don't care that DH put it up so weirdly high which he seems to like. Other TV's are only used by guests.

Ok. It depends on seating, standing, lying down. I think the OP is watching TV from a living room seat. So eye level works best for her.

If you're one of my grandkids, you're lying on floor, legs draped over ottoman, head turned toward TV on your right.

Mine are ALL above eye level, if your sitting down. In the workout room, standing on the treadmill...it's at eye level.

It drives me crazy when people have the tv up on the wall. I don't want to raise my head to look at it. Mine is sitting on a cabinet at eye level from the couch, loveseat or recliner.

Yes

The TV is at eye level for my DH who is sitting down and for myself it is slightly below eye-level but I stand back. I don't sit and watch TV.

I have a little work table that I use for food prep and so on between the dining room and living room and I stand and watch TV with DH that way. If I sit down I sleep. I wouldn't want the TV any higher as the position is perfect for where I stand.

All at eye level. Pretty much always have been. I think what matters is what works best for you.

We have a small TV on a buffet near the kitchen table (eye level when seated).

For longer viewing, we are seated on a 19" high sofa that is 14' from a medium size TV set within bookcases that hold a sound system. The middle of the screen is 34" off the floor -- perhaps a tinch below eye level.

We've never wanted TV in our bedroom. We own no recliners.

How does the distance matter? Eye level is eye level, looking up is looking up.

Distance doesn't matter if the object is at eye level. Distance matters a lot if you are looking up. The farther you are from an object above eye level, the angle of the sight line is less severe.

Have always made sure TVs were at eye level or maybe a bit below for comfortable viewing.

I can testify to what graywings stated from personal experience. My sister's TV is above their fireplace in their living room and I get a horrible crick in my neck trying to watch it in that room, and it is also viewable from their dining room table, and that is perfectly comfortable, since I do not have to bend my neck to watch from there.
