Height of screen

Is it unhealthy (for neck and back) to have your home cinema screen too high. ie above the fireplace where you then have to look up
Cheers
Rob

That's why the lazy-boy style armchairs are so popular - lie out flat on your back and look up
Seriously, I'm considering putting a flatscreen on a wall above a new fireplace. Been looking for a low fireplace/mantlepiece (<900mm) so as to avoid the neckache problem. There's not much choice around, but there are a few. I'm also thinking that I've got to mount a centre speaker beneath the screen (forcing the screen up), but I suppose I could put it above - if it doesn't look too odd...
