It is not recommended to put tv screens above your eye level when you are seated as it will be out of your natural eye line,the most common mistake when positioning a screen.Also a big screen above a fireplace or up on a wall dominates a room & looks terrible in my humble opinion.
Presently its plonked on old table other one was (one of set of three ) slightly higher than seated position

Jeff, smaller screen (40") in the corner. But you will need a stand.
If you can't get a good full HD TV and stand for £600 (after negotiation) there's something wrong

What TV threads are almost as gay and pointless as apple threads.
Personally I'd just buy a good radio.

We had a Panasonic 42" plasma for some time and it always had a good picture as well as being totally reliable for opver 5 years.
I recently changed it for a Panasonic 47" LCD which has a remarkably good quality picture,cinema like in fact, and have not regetted it. I also uses about 112 Watts compared with the 300+watts which the plasma required. There is no blurring of a moving picture as older LCD screens used to be accused of.

Been meaning to do this for ages: I just did a test on our TX-p42V20 on the power meter...curently its pulling around 120watts on normal daytime TV (well Harry Potter 
)
The Onkyo surround amp is using just a much power
And the 300 odd watts my PC+LCD+LED monitor setup is currently using is rather alot just for having a nosey on Scoobynet

The power ratings for LCD/LED TV's are a joke, they are a bit like MPG ratings on all these eco/blue motion cars.

But as you walk around the shop, you are left bemused as to which one you liked best?
And don't even DARE miss out a space or a dash when entering said code onto the internet...........
The codes make it look as if the manufacturers have literally BILLIONS of models...... stupid.
