Mount the TV at a height which will be comfortable for you and your family
and
guests to watch it.  For most people this is at eye height or lower.  

When you are watching the TV, your head will be pointed straight at the
screen.
If you mount it high, you have to tilt your head back to see the screen;
this
can tire your neck muscles after a few minutes.

When I was deciding where to mount, I picked a spot high on the wall.  I
sat on
my sofa and stared at this spot for about 5 minutes.  My neck muscles
started to
hurt.  Oops, too high, try a lower spot.  I eventually chose to mount the
TV
just below eye level when seated on my sofa.
