TV Mounted above fireplace mantel - neck strain?


Spoke to electrician today and he said mounted tv extended out diagonally to shift set lower for viewing are not advisable.  He said just mount it and angle set down.  He didn’t seem concerned about higher placement.

curious what people are doing out there.  
Thanks.

In the early days of the ARPA net I developed a strange neck problem.  Some of the diagnostic procedures were quite unpleasant and all unproductive.  Then I read a Bell Labs study of monitor placement, lowered my monitor from a shelf above my desk, and never experienced the neck problem again.  Needless to say that experience has guided the placement of our TV and projection screens -- line-of-sight slightly down.
