Mounting TV Above Fireplace


Looking for some guidance, suggestions...

Full remodel getting ready to install stacked stone fireplace surround (entire wall) and wanting to place tv mount before stone goes up...I'm eliminating the mantle...and adding a gas insert.

How high above the fireplace would you want your television?

Ideally for movie watching your TV should be where the center of the screen is at eye level at your seating position.  In your case that most likely is not possible so my suggestion would be to mount as low as you are able. 

If for movie watching often mounted high may cause neck strain.  For casual TV watching/sports while in kitchen or entertaining then a little higher should work.
