We have a two floor family and open concept kitchen/dining room. The tv is over the fire place and mounted so it can moved in all directions. Works perfectly for our space

+1000 for the mantelmount. We installed one when we remodeled and it’s awesome.

I’d never choose it if I had another option. If there’s no other option, get the swivel mount so you can lower it.

+1. I don't love it but all the other walls in our main level living space are covered in windows.

Everyone here will freak out about how it's gauche or not the right angle. We've done it and find it totally fine for us. It is a Frame TV so looks like art when it's off.

If you have to, I would spend the money for a mount that can be lowered and a frame tv. It’s not that it “fools” you into thinking it’s art but it is less obtrusive than a big black screen or one that’s fully lit up with a picture.

It all comes down to personal preference…some think it’s fine, others think it’s sacrilege. If you have nowhere else to put it, I think it’s fine, but you do need to have your seating far back enough to be able to view it comfortably.

Nay. It’s an uncomfortable height to watch TV.

We have a 14x18 living room (So not too big) -- trying to decide mount TV over fireplace. What do you all think - yay or nay for a TV over fireplace?
