How high to mount my TV monitor?


Familiar story. New (to me) home, family room has a fireplace, as does living room. The height, to the top of the mantle is 53" and 55" respectively. Viewing distance will be 10'-12'.Is it advisable to mount a flat screen this high? Will my neck be permanently cocked upward, as if I am constantly looking for Superman? Any guidance is very, very appreciated.

Mine is 13.5 feet away. A 60" scree and is mounted over the fireplace. Very comfortable and natural when sitting on the couch. It is tilted about 10 degrees forward. Sit on your couch , get comfy and see where your eyes are pointing. If you look at my virtual setup you can see.
It is 6 feet to the center of the screen. When I sit back in my couch I am looking directly at the center of the T.V..
Not many people sit with their back vertical to the floor so this makes sense to me.The 13 feet is from your eyes when lying back on the couch.
