How high should i mount a 42 " LCD on the wall to view comfortabily from

sofa ?
People tend to mount TVs way too high. Center of the screen should be
below eye level.
And the distance should be about screen size x 2.5. With the old tube sets,
close was terrible due to the lines on the screen, but much less so with
LCD.

There is some information here but it is more to the home theater than TV in
the family roomhttp://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/Tv-viewing-distance.html

I agree with the first answer here.

Just measured mine and my eye level is at 1/3 from the bottom of the
screen.

I'll never understand why people mount flat panels above a fireplace.


Because most people USE their TV as a fireplace? Noise. flickering
light, sound, but nothing actually going on?

Because modern TVs look like framed pictures, so they automatically hang
them that way?

Because they spent too much time in airports, and think that is how
display boards are supposed to look- hung up high?

Most people have less than no clue about ergonomics.
