Not the most enjoyable vantage point, is it?<\/p>\n<p>Looking up at your viewing\u00a0display doesn\u2019t make for a comfortable viewing experience, especially when it comes to lengthy viewing sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Considering a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/life\/technology\/2013\/04\/26\/canadians_watch_30_hours_of_tv_but_for_many_web_dominates_free_time.html\">recent stat<\/a> shows the\u00a0average Canadian spends just under 20%\u00a0of their\u00a0168 total hours in the course of a week watching TV, the importance of viewing comfort can\u2019t be overstated.<\/p>\n<h3>Experts agree:\u00a0keep your TV\u00a0height at eye level<\/h3>\n<p>Just about every tech expert agrees that the optimal height for a viewing display is at eye level from your viewing position. Slightly below your eye level works fine, too.<\/p>\n<p>Using a tape measure, measure the distance from the floor to your eyes while in a seated position to determine your ideal TV height. Consider the body measurements of the rest of your home\u2019s occupants. Measurements don\u2019t have to be exact \u2013\u00a0an average ideal height for all of you will suffice.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget about a variable like reclining seats that will affect your viewing position. Remember that having your TV height a little lower than your eye level is better than having it a little higher.<\/p>\n<p>The main goal is to give yourself the best\u00a0sightline towards your viewing display so you\u2019ll get the\u00a0highest level of picture quality from it.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1696 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/entertainment-unit-3.jpg\" alt=\"entertainment-unit-3\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/entertainment-unit-3.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/entertainment-unit-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 720px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 720\/480;\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Apply your TV height measurements to\u00a0your custom-built entertainment unit<\/h3>\n<p>Bring your ideal TV height measurement to our design experts, who will work with you to create\u00a0your dream entertainment unit.<\/p>\n<p>You can customize your entertainment unit with interior lighting, cabinets, glass doors, and\u00a0other attractive features, including your choice of beautiful finishes.
