The majority of people on AVforums agree that above the mantle is too high for day to day viewing and causes neckache. They suggest cutting a piece of cardboard to scale (some manufacturers like Pioneer provide cardboard cutouts to scale) aqnd sticking it where you plan to have the screen. Then 'pretend' for a week and see how it feels.
