"In the early days of computers, I developed the symptoms of a pinched nerve, Exhaustive and painful tests failed to reveal the source. But then I read a tech study by IBM labs, in which they evaluated viewing height: Gaze should be no more than horizontal, peferably slight down. I moved my monitor down from the shelf and the pinched nerve symptoms never returned.
When I looked at Telemarc's setup, my thought was that he must have a very tolerant wife. That may work for him, but i wouldn't try to emulate it. I'd aim for the bottom of the monitor to be 18" - 24" off the floor, 30" (standard table/desk height) at the max only if you need that height for some reason. I think Krelldog is talking interior decoration -- you can walk around the room while listening to Pictures at an Exhibition -- not functionality."
Go ahead and hang your panel this low.........and all your future company will ask the same question.....Which room does the family of midgets sleep in? Do yourself a favor and make a template like I suggested-and decide for yourself. Good luck.
