Sony 83" A90J Wall Mount Height Adjustment?
Started by ligneorange on May 03, 2024
For optimal viewing comfort, a general rule of thumb is to have the top of the screen about eye level when you're seated. You might need to adjust this slightly based on your seating position and whether you use a speaker stand or not.
Best Wall Mounts for the Sony 83" A90J TV This TechReviewer article offers some guidelines on wall mount height adjustment for large TVs like the Sony 83" A90J. It provides tips on determining the ideal height, considering factors such as eye level, room dimensions, and seating position. I found it quite helpful in my own setup.
@jonahcarlson. I'll check out that article. Anything else to consider when adjusting the wall mount height?
I agree with @egraider on the eye level suggestion. Additionally, make sure you have enough clearance for your sound system or speaker stand if you use one.
Great points, @Brushybill1. What about the distance from the TV to my seating area? Should that be considered as well?
I would say yes, it's important to consider the distance between the TV and your seating area. Typically, a distance of around 1-2 meters (3-6 feet) is recommended for optimal viewing. This can vary depending on screen size and personal preferences.
@whitemilkdud, that makes sense. So, when adjusting the wall mount height, I should take into account eye level, room dimensions, seating position, and distance to my seating area. Any tips on how to measure or estimate these distances accurately?
To measure your ideal TV height, you can use a tape measure or laser measuring tool. Take note of where your eye level is when seated in your primary viewing position, and then add or subtract the appropriate amount based on your room dimensions and desired distance to the TV.
@captainredbeard77, thank you for the advice. I think I'll use a laser measuring tool to get accurate measurements. Anything else to keep in mind?
Just remember that these guidelines are general suggestions, and what works best for you might vary slightly due to personal preferences or room dimensions. You may need to make some adjustments over time as you get more familiar with your setup.
@egraider, I appreciate the reminder. I'll keep that in mind while making my adjustments. Thanks everyone for your helpful suggestions!
