For many, relaxation is associated with watchingfavorite TV shows, when, for example, the whole family gathers in a cozy living room and certainly turns on the TV. Therefore, a large model in this case will be a completely justified purchase, because everyone should be as comfortable and convenient as possible. In addition, modern plasma models allow you not only to put them on a bulky cabinet or a Soviet-style wall unit, but, for example, to attach them to the wall and thus not clutter the space. We tell you how to correctly place a TV without spoiling the design of the room.

Indeed, many moviegoers, if given free rein, would turn the entire wall into one large monitor and place speakers everywhere. But seriously, you should choose the size of the plasma based on the size of your room, because even doctors recommend keeping a distance of 3.5 meters (when watching TV with a resolution of 720 p and a screen diagonal of 50 inches). So for a room with an area of, say, 15-17 square meters, a model with a diagonal of 42 inches is quite suitable. 2. Next, you need to decide in which part of the room the TV should be placed. In fact, the decisive role in this matter will be played by the arrangement of furniture - the screen should be clearly visible. Another nuance that should be paid attention to is the window. You cannot place the TV opposite the window, otherwise, instead of a clear bright picture, you will see glare. However, if the area of the room (or the design) does not allow for the possibility of hanging the TV in another place, then be sure to purchase window blinds or thick curtains.

To find out, go into the room, take the place where you will be while watching (for example, if it is a kitchen-dining room, then the plasma should hang in such a way that it is clearly visible if you are cooking something or sitting at the dining table). Then move your gaze to the place where you plan to hang the TV; it is at that point (at eye level or slightly above) that the center of the monitor should ultimately be located. 4. Next, you need to take care of the reliable fastening of the TV to the wall. First, you need to check whether the wall (where you plan to hang it) can withstand the weight of the plasma. For example, in no case should you attach a monitor weighing more than 30-35 kg to a plasterboard wall. Otherwise, your wall will collapse along with the TV. Do you need it? If your wall is made of brick or blocks, then you should attach the plasma to the wall using special brackets (just make sure first that there is no wiring in this place). By the way, brackets can be rigidly fixed or adjustable. The second option is much more convenient, because if necessary, the angle of inclination or rotation of the screen can be easily changed. 5. Where to hide the wires so that they do not interfere? This question interests absolutely all household members. If, say, your renovation is only in the initial stage, then you are incredibly lucky. No, not in the sense that renovation is great. But in the sense that if your apartment is being renovated, then it is easier for you to immediately plan where the TV will be at this stage. Accordingly, you will be able to immediately install three regular sockets and one TV socket behind the monitor (8-10 cm from the top or bottom edge of the monitor) to connect a plasma monitor, tuner and/or Wi-Fi adapter). If you plan to install a special stand, then it is better to place additional sockets in it (it is enough to build in a block of 4-5 sockets at a height of 30 cm from the floor). If you already have a finished design project and you do not expect any renovation for at least 2-3 years, then the wires can be hidden in a cable box, brought to the TV and carefully disguised (decorated as much as possible in accordance with the interior style).
