How high to hang LCD TV

Options
I am going to get a 32" or 37" tv and probably going to hang it on the wall. What is the best height? I dont want to get a sore neck from looking up but wont it look silly if it is too low?

    i read somewhere that the height should be 3-4 times the distance you watch from (have i got that right:o ) i.e. if the height is 1 meter you should watch from 3-4 meters

    i've only got a crt:o

  • the viewing distance from you to the TV as a minimum is supposed to be about 4 or 5 times the height of the screen.

    The height of the screen is where ever you are comfortable with it - try with the centre of the screen a bit below eye height when you are sitting down.
