What is the correct cabinet height for a 50" TV?


My existing cabinet is 33.5" high and I am hoping to place a 50" DLP TV on top of it. The TV I am considering is 46" wide, 35.5" high and 14.8" deep. How do I determine if this height is okay? If not, what is the correct height for a cabinet that hold a 50" TV. Thanks..

My own personal preference is to have the center of the screen at about the same height of my eyes when seated for viewing. So, seating height is a factor, as is your posture when viewing. This is at a seating distance of 10 feet. If you are farther away, I would think elevation is less a factor. Now that I wear progressive lens in my glasses, I hate having to tip my head up to watch the screen.
