I agree. I have a 50 inch plasma, and I believe my stand is about 24 inches high which would put my tv about 30 inches off the ground. It seems to be just about perfect for me. Its right about eye level with me when Im on the couch. If your hanging it on the wall You may want to raise it up just a tad though. Ive alwasy been told that the TV should be at about eye level.
