I know that this is surely a matter of opinion and that everyone probably has a different size screen. I have a 52" LCD viewing at about 11-13'. What is the best height to the bottom of the screen? (TV frame is 31" high)

Whatever's comfortable for you. This could vary depending on how high your seating is, too.

Generally, you want your eyes 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up the screen when seated. However, everyone is different, as you already stated.

Bottom of the TV frame is currently 23" to the bottom. It's on a livingroom end table presently and using the supplied stand. It seems pretty comfortable and can still go a little higher I think. I've been in homes where the TV seems pretty high for me (and uncomfortable) I was just wondering if there was a rule of thumb on this.
Meanwhile I've been searching for a corner stand that will hold a 52" LCD. Not much selection. Some all glass units. Placing a center speaker in the future could be a challenge.

Bob, when you say 23" to the bottom, do you mean 23" to the floor or are you measuring from your eye level to the bottom of the screen?
If 23" from the floor, keep in mind that if you put the center under the screen that low if you have any more than one row of seats the people in back are going to hear very muddled dialogue. If that's the case, you might want to think of ways to mount the center above rather than below the screen. This was exactly my situation which is why I have mine wall mounted above the screen.

23" from the floor to the bottom of the screen. Unfortunatly this is NOT a Home Theatre Room. Just a livingroom.One sofa and one loveseat Oh and a chair with an otterman.

I have mine 43" form floor to the bottom of the screen and tilted 3" off the wall at the top.Our reclining sofa sits kinda high but reclines pretty far down.For me it's a comfortable hight for watching movies reclined.

What ever works in the room and feels comfortable, that is the best position, no matter what any one says. If you are not comfortable looking at the screen you won't be enjoying it as much. Try a makeshift stand out of blocks and wood and see which height YOU prefer, then look for a stand as close as possiblt to that height or make one yourself if you are so inclined.
