Why people mount their TV on the wall?

By mounting your TV to the wall, you gain a sizeable amount of floor space that would otherwise be taken up by a TV stand or media cabinet. This gives your entertainment area a cleaner, less cluttered atmosphere, and is especially beneficial for people living in small apartments, condos, and tiny homes.

Should TVs be mounted high?

Is it better to mount TV high or low?

Experts recommend that the middle of your TV should be at eye-level while seated. This equates to about 42 inches from the floor to the center of your TV.
