Yeah I've read about that too.. I don't think it's too bad compared to a good quality screen. In my case I'm not taking up the whole wall vertically with the screen so I have lots of room for a centre channel (I have 9' ceilings in the basement where this is going).
Some people do it so that dialog seems to come from the centre of the screen instead of above or below it. In that case, I'd rather just spend a few hundred on a second centre channel speaker and mount it so that there's one below and above the screen, then dialog sounds like it comes from the centre. Of course you need an amp then that'll handle either 2 centres or a 4 ohm centre if you wire them in parallel.
