My set-up is for both HT and 2-channel stereo and I have no neck strain with the TV above the fireplace.
Of course it may help that I have a chair set up in the sweet-spot which is nicknamed the "day dreaming chair" because of it's high angle of incline. You sort of naturally view the crack between the wall and an 8 foot ceiling.
When lying on the couch nearby a few pillows easily adjust the viewing angle.
I have a knock-off of this famous chair and ottoman.

Panasonic Plasma TC-P60ST50.................takes some adjusting to fine tune, but worth it.
However for that brightly lit room originally posted a LCD/LED will be more viable on weekends/daytime.
