The bottom edge of the TV is 1" lower than the mantlepiece in the bedroom.
Yeah, like I said back then - you wouldn't really want to put the TV any lower as it's pretty much eye level when sat on the sofa. I'm not sure why people are so set against it...Either they think it's a lot higher than it actually is or they have to watch TV looking downwards to prevent their frail necks from aching
That said I have seen some TV's mounted ridiculously high up above fire places.
