I am going to build a riser to have an extra row of seating in my home theater room and read that it should be 12" high. Now I only have a 47" rear projection t.v.(hope to upgrade within a year to much larger) And it needs to be raised also. I was told that the picture quality will change if I raise it because it was made to be viewed at the same level as the main viewer-but, I've seen them raised in several magazines etc...
How high should I raise it? I was thinking 6 inches to split the difference between the front and second row of seating (I'll check to see if I can see over the front seating). I figure I could re-calibrate the t.v. with my setup disk.
Also, my center channel speaker would then be about 18" higher than my left and right speakers. Would this be a big deal if it's tilted down? I also read it should be within 12" of the left and right. I just want to do it right the first time.
Thanks for the help.
