Hello. This is M from source Japan staff.
When buying a TV board, don’t you wonder which size to choose?

By placing a TV board that fits the room
You can improve the atmosphere of the room with less strain on your eyes.
This time, I will introduce how to choose a TV board that suits your life perfectly.

【Width】
Choosing a width that is one size larger than the TV will create a sense of stability.
If you imagine a triangular composition when you put the TV on, it will be visually balanced.

A guide for each TV size
・ 32inch → width 120cm
・ 43inch → width 150cm
・ 50inch → width 180cm

The width of the TV and the width of the TV stand can be arranged beautifully even if the golden ratio of 1: 1.618 is adopted.

For example, if the width of the TV is 110 cm
110 cm x 1.618 = 177.98 cm (about 180 cm)
If you choose a TV board with a width of about 180 cm, you can arrange it in a well-balanced manner.

With a moderate margin on the side, you can use it safely because it will not hit you even if you walk beside the TV board.

【Height】
The optimum height of the TV board depends on the style of watching TV.
・ Sit on the floor and watch → Height 40 cm or less
・ Sit on the sofa and watch → Height 40-60 cm
・ Sit in a dining chair and watch → Height 60 cm or more

Since the back plate is open, the wiring fits neatly.

The height of the line of sight when watching TV
It is said that the height at which the line of sight is slightly below when watching the center of the TV is less tiring.
If it is facing upward, extra force will be applied to the neck and shoulders, so the optimum height is such that the center of the TV faces downward by 10-15 degrees (30-50 cm lower).

The viewing distance (the distance at which the TV screen looks the best) is
4K TV → 1.5 times the height of the TV screen or more
Full HD TV → More than 3 times the height of the TV screen
It is said that it is good to secure it.

Think about where you are sitting and watching TV
Choose a height that will not strain your eyes.
