I meant the big toes on each foot, but don't worry - I know how to
separate my feet, but it doesn't stop me from disliking that downward
viewing angle. I'd rather look up. I've never had the opportunity to
watch a TV above a fireplace, so I don't know for sure how I'd like
it. However, my current TV is on top of a tall entertainment center -
which is approximately the same height as my fireplace mantle. AFAIC,
it's the perfect height and there is only (maybe) 12 feet from my 50
inch TV to my eyes.
