Ideally ear level, but that may not be possible with the center channel. I would have your mains so that they are upright and ear level and then find a way to angle the center up so that the sound hits at ear level.

The 2 mains would be vertical (taller than wide) and the center would be placed the horizontal (wider than tall). Do feel free to try the orientation different ways as some have found they prefer different orientations better than others. Also experiment as to what you like as far as tweeter orientation. Either inside (toward center) or outside (toward outer walls). Hope I made sense of that all for you.

I have AT screen and have all 3 vertical. Seems to me Emo recommended this to me when I ordered it.
Mine are mounted pretty close to the middle line of my screen

Here's one of the front wall before the screen is mounted (it's hung from the top two brackets (you can see the blue lights under the bracket) and then there are two brackets that hold the bottom in place (hard to see due to the black on black). The wall behind the Emos is covered in 703 insulation and acoustically transparent black suede (completely sucks away all light too!). The sub in the middle is not there anymore - I found it sounded better on my side wall plus the screen reflected off it slightly which was annoying. Now it's pretty much hidden  |

Tweeters should be at ear level. Higher frequencies are more directional.

Keep in mind that if you mount them like bfisher, you will want to have an acoustically transparent screen. Not sure if yours is or not.
