Maybe your body does but mine doesn't. I slouch back my head looks up (against the horizontal) | |

If someone is slouching that means thier torso will be a an angle i.e. 30 degrees. If they keep thier head parellel to thier torso i.e. not looking up or down then thier head will also be looking up i.e. at 30 degrees. | |

Even when your slouching on the sofa, if its anymorre than 3ft up, you'll still have to look up and it WILL do your head in. | |

Is it wise having it over the fireplace? Surely when/if the fire is on it could damage the panel? | |

TV's at eye level was the correct height for the decade's CRT's were out and it worked perfectly. | |

quote: Agree 100%. Soo many people ignore this and then you go round and they are really slouched on thier sofa meaning the panel at "eye level" is actually causing them to look down all the time. If you want to have your TV at 3/4 ft then you need to make sure you are sitting prim and proper to be looking at it without tilting your head. I've had my TV at this height for 5 years and not had a single problem. | |

I've just been doing the same in our place, we've got a Verine Eden HE fire, fits flush with no frame, can also be mounted the lowest so TV isn't as high. | |

The speakers will probably be mounted in all 4 corners of the room and the virgin box, dvd player, etc will probably be in a little cabinet at the right hand side | |

I'd be more inclined to sit and stare at the fire with that setup. | |

quote: The centre of the TV would be just over 4 foot off the floor which would suit the angle we would be slouching on the sofa, Im not one for sitting up straight on sofas so the angle I slouch will mean the position of the TV is about level with the angle of my head having tried it out | |

In regards to the TV, anything higher than eye level (when sat down) will psis you off... | |

quote: We were planning on matching the side walls with the colour of the pattern on the wall paper so it might be slightly off scale in terms of light/darkness What are peoples opinions on the positioning of the TV/fireplace Do you think the TV should be lower/higher or should the fire be higher/on the ground? | |

I'd have the TV lower so you don't get neck ache. Really don't get people who put them at eye level when standing when you don't generally tend to watch tv standing up. | |

I'd have the side panels much lighter so you don't end up with a dark room. | |
