    I agree - it suits us, but then we're not home all day watching TV. Its only on at night and I can recline on the sofa and watch it perfectly with no neck strain :-)

    Whatever suits you.

    All this guy does is one line troll like comments meant to throw doubt into posters minds - never any reasoning or constructive comment, just look at all his other posts, unbelievably unhelpful every one of them

    I agree with Myser.

    The centre of a TV should be at about eye level or slightly below when sitting down in the normal viewing position.
    I recently read (somewhere) that people are presenting at their GP with sore necks and headaches because their telly is halfway up a wall. An incorrect telly height can also result in permanent damage to the cervical vertebrae.

    My TV is on the chimney breast, it's as slim a TV as I could afford and set right against the wall. Fireplace was removed and boxed off, then all the TV equipment placed in there, (virgin TV thing, PS3, DVD player).

    Chavvy? Not if done right it isn't.
