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

People tend to mount TVs way too high. Center of the screen should be
below eye level.


At that math, wouldn't the bottom of the screen be just above the
baseboard?


Not unless your chair is in a 3' deep hole in the floor.

I prefer mine up higher. And I'll tell the geek to put it just where I
want
it.


g'head.

Would the OP do the math, and see just exactly how high the bottom of the
screen would be above baseboard height for the center to be at eye level to
a person slouched in a chair, and get back to us?

As mentioned, mounting one low has the dangers of being within reach of
children. Animals sometimes attack TV screens, too, when a dog sound comes
out of the TV. I know mine will do it if it was within reach. He hears it,
and he goes ballistic.

But hey, to each their own. That's why they make measuring tapes.
