I'm not sure if I am picturing this correctly, but when the screen is lowered is it's bottom roughly level with the bottom of the tv in front of the mantle? Perhaps a sketch would clarify the positioning?

If that is the case, I would suggest just a low center placement with an upward angle. I've tried the 150 both above and below my tv, and prefer below better (personal preference though).

I think I am totally imagining the room setup wrong though...
