In Reply to: What's with all the plasmas installed OVER the mantle?! posted by patriot on April 1, 2007 at 19:52:41:
This is probably just an area of personal preference. Maybe folks who use a recliner for viewing would find it comfortable. Personally I like our plasma at eye and ear level....just like the speakers. I wouldn't consider anything else for the main system.I built a cabinet in the bedroom, and our tv and speakers sit on top of it. The screen is about as high as it would be over a mantle. My wife likes it like this, but it gives me a terrible neck ache sometimes.

There are always concessions one must make in the installation. Currently, the bottom of my plasma screen sits 4" below eye level when I'm seated, and the center sits directly below that. Still, I seem to get seemless surround sound

I use 2 channel, so the center is "Phantom". Good point though about the difficulties of getting three front speakers and the screen at eye level.Rod
True but I would compromise on the visual angle for two reasons. When I watch (and listen), I am usually reclined a bit so my gaze is directed a bit upward. OTOH, although my ears are also tilted upwards, they are less sensitive to vertical error than my neck is. As a result, the bottom edge of my PDP is about 45" off the floor and 3 floorstanders are arrayed across the front with the middle one just clearing the PDP.
