Another silly question... So I'm fairly certain I will be buying a 46" or 47" TV and I'm reconfiguring the room accordingly. We will be sitting about 8' away, which I know is close, but the lazyboys recline quite a bit, and I do hope to move everything back to a bigger room when space allows, but for now, those are the parameters.
So how high should it be hung on the wall? Several friends of mine have theirs over the fireplace and that is just way too high and puts too much strain on my neck. My current 42" CRT is just 26" off the ground and that seems too low. So should eye-level be at the bottom edge of the screen, the middle, or somewhere in between?
Also, since most of our watching is done reclined, I'm going to guess that slanting the TV downwards slightly might also be a good idea. Any thoughts?
