Three hundred posts.... 299 of them: "I wonder if I'm doing the right thing here?" STILL no speakers here. Maybe if I had my speakers I would be able to contribute more. I'll certainly have less posts as I sit and listen to them instead of wasting my time here.

I suppose all this mostly depends on what's comfortable for your own viewing angle. There's some obvious things to avoid like getting too far off axis on some rear projector models. (like say trying to mount a big DLP much higher or notice than your eyes)
This is something I've noticed more recently on my DLP as we end up with more games where people stand up (like Guitar Hero, Rock Band or the Wii balance board stuff.) Everything looks great when you're sitting or far enough back, but if you're too close and standing up you start to lose your picture quality at that angle.
I think when I redo whatever my next space is, I'll either figure out how to make an adjustable stand so we can bump it up temporarily when those games are in use or hook up those games in another room where I can mount a screen higher.

This is in response to a post on another thread but I am posting it here. My stand is this STYLE. http://www.standsandmounts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=9102Mine is NOT a Z-line I got mine at Costco for $199. Costco doesn't have it on their website. It was local. I happened to call the store to find out how to find it online and they told me that the buyers for local stores bring in different items from area to area and still different than their website. Mine is NOT the one I linked above. My glass shelves are ovals and I have would as the supports legs. (Don't like the color of the wood and might sand them down and re-stain) My TV measures 52" from the floor to the middle of a 52" sceen. Just measured to the bottom of the TV. 35 1/2". My frame swivels from side to side and the mounting pole leans slightly forward (fixed) so the tv is vsry slightly leaning forward. I thought it might be crooked but it seems deliberate because it gives a better viewing at that slight angle. It happens to be a very enjoyable height for me and the rest here. I had mine on a 23" end table for a few weeks before I got the stand and thought this might be too high.
