The main reason for mounting a TV above eye level is avoid obstacles in
the 
line of sight.

However, you need to consider what kind of seating you have. If you are 
sitting with correct posture looking straight ahead, then the TV should be

at eye level. If you are viewing from a bed, or a couch with your back 
tilting backwards, you will need to make the TV higher.

This no doubt will confuse you, since every restaurant and many rooms 
designed by interior designers have the TV much higher than needed. The 
reason for this is to avoid line of sight problems (people walking in
front 
of the TV), or because the designer wants to put the TV in a really stupid

place, such as above a fireplace. Putting a TV too high is a common
mistake.

If you will be viewing the TV from both a sitting and standing viewpoint,
I 
would split the difference.
