Overview
Mount TV at Eye Level
-
The middle of your flat-screen TV should be around eye level when you are seated, according to Crutchfield. Looking straight at the TV prevents neck strain and reduces glare.

Some Prefer the TV Slightly Higher
-
Some people prefer their TV a little higher than eye level. If you mount your TV higher than eye level, Crutchfield recommends moving your couch or chair farther back to reduce the angle and prevent neck strain. In addition, a tilting wall mount can angle the TV down to prevent glare.
Bottom Line
-
A flat-screen TV should be mounted around eye level or slightly higher when you are seated. Sit on your couch or chair to determine where you want the TV to be mounted. In addition, consider nearby sources of glare, such as windows or lamps, when mounting TVs.

mine sits directly in front of me at eye level as the article suggests.my vizio produces almost zero percent glare, even with the window blinds wide open.my parents however have a philips which is the same size, but the glare form their winows in their room is really bad.i wonder if it's something vizio does that philips doesn't.
