Okay, might just be me then - I recall seeing Interview With The Vampire on the front row at the cinema in Reading and my neck gave me grief - now the furthest forward I will sit is about row 3-4 (though Swedish cinemas tend to have a little more room at the front so it's not too bad).

I considered having my 32" LCD wall mounted as the TV actually came with the brackets, but it was a rented apartment and I've moved once already - there is NO way I would attempt to wall mount a flat screen TV myself though, it's not worth the risk to me.
If you have to buy the brackets separately it might be expensive - I was with a colleague when he went to get one suitable for a 26" screen and the bracket alone was ~£150.

Having a surface to stand the TV on is more convenient for me too, as I then have somewhere to place the centre and R/L front speakers (I dislike TV speakers and speakers on stands so my Mordaunt Short Genies are perfect for me).
