The plan is to build an extension to the chimney breast wall -
bringing
it out by a few inches. Where the file was there should be a small
recess for ornaments etc, no fire surround (obviously) meaning the
screen will be mounted much lower. I have allowed for the minimum
air
space recommended by Sony also. I knocked up a before and after type
image - see below - comments welcome!

AIUI, the sight-line between you sitting (slouching) and
the centre of the 'telly' should be five-degrees or so downwards.
[Your _before_ looked about right]
Tilting your head back to allow an upward sight-line leads to
neck-ache.
