My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Eye level when you are sitting. It has to be comfortable.

    But, if you have a fireplace with a mantel, usually we recommend 4-6" above the mantel. But that all depends on high the Mantel is and how far back you will be sitting. If the mantel is taller, we would recommend a tilt bracket for TV.

    Test it out first! Put a peice of carboard on wall(size of TV) and see what is comfortable
