TV Stand Size Guide
TV Stand Height
It is a general rule of thumb that the center of your screen should be positioned at or just below eye level. Ensuring that your TV is kept at a comfortable position involves some simple math: Measure the distance from the floor to the average sightline of viewers in your household, and subtract half of the TV’s height. The perfect height for your TV stand will fall within an inch or two of the difference.
TV Stand Width
Because TVs are measured diagonally and TV consoles are measured horizontally, be sure to record and consider the width of your screen when choosing your console. We recommend getting a console that is at least a few inches wider than your TV.
Large TV Stands, Medium TV Stands and Small TV Stands
| TV Stand Size | Minimum TV Size (Recommended) | Maximum TV Size (Recommended) |
|---|---|---|
| 50" | 54" | 58" |
| 55" | 59" | 63" |
| 65" | 70" | 73" |
| >70" | 70" | >70" |
Expert Tip: The recommended TV viewing distance is about double your screen size. For example, if you have a 54-inch TV, place the TV and stand at least 108 inches from the viewing area.
