A wall-mounted TV looks elegant, saves space and creates clean lines in the living room. However, the right height is crucial for picture quality and comfort - and this is rarely constant depending on the Rarely constant depending on the usage situation. The solution: height-adjustable wall brackets, ideally electrically electrically and precisely controllable.

Why is height so important?

For relaxed viewing, the center of the screen should be at the viewer's eye level. In practice however, seating positions and uses change: Sofa, dining table, armchair, presentation - a fixed mounting rarely fits rarely fits everything. Height adjustment ensures ergonomic viewing angles, relieves strain on the neck and eyes and improves the perceived image quality.

• Ergonomics: Natural viewing angle when sitting, lying or standing.
• Flexibility: One TV, several zones (sofa, dining area, kitchen, meeting area).
• Design: Harmonious integration into different interior concepts.
• Convenience: Electric adjustment via remote control, app or smart home.

Manual vs. electric - which is better?

Manual systems

• Inexpensive, but less convenient.
• Limited lifting range, more suitable for small to medium-sized TVs.
• Sufficient for infrequent adjustments.

Electric systems

• Maximum comfort at the touch of a button, precise & reproducible.
• Suitable for large displays (up to >100" depending on the system).
• Integration into smart home (scenes, triggers, voice) possible.
• Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, conference rooms, yachts.

Best practices for the perfect height

• Eye level: Align the center of the screen to eye level when seated.
• Seating distance: Rule of thumb: screen diagonal (inches) × 2 ≈ distance in cm.
• Light: Mount across the incidence of light, avoid reflections.
• Cable management: Plan for movement reserves & concealed routing.
• Ventilation & service: Ensure heat dissipation and accessibility.

Planning & selection - what you should pay attention to

• TV size & weight: Compare load capacity and VESA standard.
• Lifting distance: Define realistic adjustment range (sitting/standing position).
• Mounting surface: Load-bearing wall, suitable dowels/anchors, load distribution.
• Operation: Hand-held transmitter, wall switch, app, automation scenes.
• Aesthetics: Trims, cable cover, panel integration.
• Safety: end positions, soft start/stop, collision protection depending on the system.

Common mistakes - and how to avoid them

• Mounting too high: Above the chimney is often unergonomic.
• Reflections: Avoid window fronts opposite the TV.
• Underestimating installation depth: Allow space for mechanics and cable radii.
• Cable clutter: Plan the connections (power, network, HDMI) at an early stage.
