We watched a good bit of college football on those two screens last year, and it just didn't seem right for it to be up that high.

I appreciate or screen being eye-level when on the couch at home... I dunno... above the mantle seems kinda cheesy somehow, too.
When I had mine installed last week the wife and I agreed that the top of the TV would be at 60 inches. Of course when the installer came out, I was at work and they say to the wife "60 inches to center? " and she says "uh yeh?. So I get home and the TV is a foot too high. Need less to say they came back out and dropped it a foot. Eye level is where you want 'em. I don't agree with the 'above the mantle movement' either. You're putting two focal points on top of each other.
