What's the ideal placement? Near the middle of the TV, or towards the top?

I just draped mine over the top of the TV mount in the rear.Perfect? No. Working well? Yes.

I apologize for the late response but the ideal spot would be middle. The lights a very bright so even if you put them on top it is still doing its job. I have a 55 in pioneer so the only place I could but it was on the top and it looks great. I can possibly send you a pic of what it looks like. Thanks and sorry about the late response good luck.

A lil higher than middle of the back of the tv ..and not too close to the top ..you'll want to ensure you see just the reflection and glow of the light around the tv..and not any of the led's

It depends on how close your TV is to the wall. On a TV that's about a foot or so off the wall, I place the strip across the sides and top of the TV, roughly 1/4-1/3 of the way in from the edge. With a TV that's mounted on the wall, you'll likely want to be closer to the edge to get more diffuse light.

I'd see it's in the middle. there are definitely a much worse TV's that reflect light. I have windows with blinds behind me. and I can barely see the reflection

Take care to have something near in the foreground. I display the images on a 50" HDTV and it feels like you can just get up and into the picture. Good choice!

The earlier rules of thumb for distance from a tv set were based on lower resolution screens where the issue was 'how far away do I have to be so the lines on the picture aren't visible'. Now the new issue with HDTV is 'how close should I sit for maximum realism'. The answer is in part subjective, and as such there's no exact answer, but a widely used rule of thumb is to take one tenth the screen diagonal in inches and call that the minimum distance in feet, and then increase it 50% for the maximum distance. Somewhere in that zone is optimum. So, for a 70" screen, try not to sit closer than 7' and if you are more than about 10.5' away, you're losing the maximum impact of the viewing experience.

It's not clear to me which part of the TV you want tilted forward--the top or bottom edge? If it's the top, then don't extend that metal extension on the bottom bracket...you will have about a 10-15% angle but may need to get an HDMI plug for the back of the TV that you can rotate/angle so it doesn't push the bottom part of the tv out.

i would also like to know, how high from the base the tv would be with the mount in the top position? i don't want my tv mounted too low.

It might be a balancing act but probably a 37 to 42 inch tv would be okay if it is one of the newer lightweight flat screens. It would set up high though, close to 4 feet.

To answer your other question, and based solely on my extensive reading, people usually mount it BELOW the screen (either actually hooked to the bottom of the screen or right below the tv if wall-mounted, or just in front of the tv if on a stand, which is what I will be having).

I think anywhere within the arc of the screens should work. I try to aim for the center to prevent damage to the top, rods, or unit...common sense

Yes. Mine is at the highest setting. The top of the 37" TV is at about 50 inches from the floor. It looks like I could move it down only about 6" then it would be at its lowest point.

Thanks for the info. I have thought of placing the Zvox next to the TV, but that may not give good surround sound. I have searched Zvox 550, it is only 3 1/2 inchs thick could place TV on it, a little more costly though. The TV is already higher than I like. By the reviews, Zvox seems to be very good.

Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue. You can clearly see the full picture while practically standing next to it....but honestly, who even stands that far to the side watching TV anyway, to me that's a bogus specification. Trust me, this TV has an amazing picture. You would be totally throwing away your money on something more expensive. Something else to keep in mind, you can't always trust the video feeds that big box stores feed their sets. Sometimes that have worse feeds going to certain TV's because they need to meet a sales quota. ALSO, those TVs on the wall at the stores are NOT calibrated for the best viewing. I have my sharp 70" on the Dynamic mode, everything just pops more. Hope that helps.

There are 4 rows of holes on the stand, so you can attach either to the top 2 rows, the middle 2 rows, or the bottom 2 rows. The screws appeared to be centered in the main horizontal section that the TV attaches to. The "center" of the lowest position (between the lowest set of holes and the second lowest set of holes) is 15.75 inches from the surface the stand is resting on. Our TV is currently at the highest position, and the 2 vertical bars end at 26.5" above the table. Our TV extends 2" above that. If we were to move it to the lowest position, it would be 3.25" lower. Hope that helps. Looks like it will depend on your TV a little and where the screws holes are for attaching it to the stand.

In general, near/on the window is best. BUT if you are close to the tv antenna sites (I am 5-6 miles), you can try an interior wall - just retest/scan to see what channels are accessible.The most signal is collected if the flat panel is 'facing' the signal source. Also higher is usually better. Having the antenna flat on a table or window ledge will reduce the signal picked up (which might be OK) - you really have to try in your home.

I'm 5'10" and my TV is centered at about eye level. The unit is hanging about an inch or two under the TV

Hi, Not sure what you mean by "right next to". It is usually best to not put two antennas close together especially if one of the antennas is a transmitting antenna. Can you mount the A-99 above the TV ant, say 6-10 feet?
