Mine is up higher, but points down
Not over the fireplace high, which is MUCH too high, but higher than if it were sitting directly on my stand. I have a good reason for that though, my center needs a home. I don't really get the whole mounting above the fireplace thing either.
It looks really high in that pic, but from the seating position, it isn't too far above the center. I had to re-drill the holes in the hangars to drop it 3" from where it is in that pic over the holiday. To get it lower, I will have to move the wall bracket itself down.
