Neck strain or eye strain (having to look ’up’ from straight ahead) will be a function of screen center height, viewing distance, and viewing angle(any upward angling of the eye).
I don’t have my big screen over the fire place, but I do have it wall mounted because of room constraints.
I did some calculations for my room and got the screen center set to give zero eye angle up with my comfy couch. No neck strain or eye strain.
Depends. If you are close and the screen center is high up - they yeah - it could be an issue.
I won't get into WAF or other decorating preferences. Strictly from a 'human factors' standpoint - it can be done.
