how hoigh should tv be if you are on recliner and looking slighlt up wards
For a recliner, the best setup is usually to keep the center of the TV at about seated eye level, or just a little above it when you’re fully relaxed. If you’re looking slightly upward, that usually means the TV is a bit too high unless the angle is very small and comfortable for long viewing.
Good target
- Aim for the center of the screen to line up with your eyes in your normal reclined position.
- If that feels too low, raise it only a little so your gaze goes up by about 5–15 degrees at most.
- The lower third of the screen is a useful fallback if the TV has to sit higher.
Simple way to set it
- Sit in the recliner the way you actually watch TV.
- Mark where your eyes naturally point on the wall.
- Put the screen center near that mark.
- If the TV must be higher, tilt it downward slightly to reduce neck strain.
Quick rule
A practical rule is: the more you recline, the higher the TV can be, but only slightly. For long viewing, it’s better to keep the screen centered close to your line of sight than to mount it noticeably high.
Tiny example
If your eyes are around 40 inches from the floor when reclined, the center of the TV should be close to that height, maybe a few inches higher if the chair leans back a lot.
TL;DR: in a recliner, set the TV so the center is at your relaxed eye line, or just a little above it; avoid having to look up much more than about 5–15 degrees.
