[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The fireplace is in our family room, and is a central gathering area for our family. I happen to really enjoy TV and so does DH, so we have no issue with putting a TV above the mantle. Also there's no other place in the house that will accommodate our 65inch. But hey, different strokes for different folks. I just find it hard to believe this is an actual deal-breaker for anyone. The rest of the house is perfect, location and schools work. But OH NO only place for a TV is above the mantle...sorry it's off our list. That is just crazy talk and nonsensical.[/quote]

That's great that you and your husband don't mind but it really isn't that crazy or nonsensical. I don't know that it would have a total deal breaker when we were looking but it was definitely a minus. It speaks to general poor layout and design in the house as well. [/quote]

No it doesn’t “speak” to poor layout. It likely means your home isn’t a new McMansion. [/quote]

Different poster (the one who has a TV over the fireplace and is happy about it).

I also do not think it "speaks" to a poor layout, though of course a good or bad layout can all be in the eye of the beholder. But it is super common to put the TV over the fireplace in new McMansions (though think going out of style now), so not sure what you're thinking here. We have a (not McMansion) new build, but the TV is right plop over the fireplace.

It’s a matter of taste — I (and my neck) like a tv to be hung low. Clearly a lot of people don’t mind, which is why this issue is a turn off for some people and not others. Those of us who dislike high TVs really dislike them though!
