It’s fine above a gas fireplace, if the height and size are right.

If you have a good friend or family member mount their TV above their fireplace, would you hold an intervention?

There's no such thing as a right height above a fireplace

They have a new Samsung art frame tv that is pretty sweet and would solve the issue

CSoul

That solves the issue of a TV being mounted way too high up on the wall?

TCuz

10/17/21 6:57pm

Yeh, doesn't solve the too high. But nothing does without tearing out the fireplace.

CSoul

So you just put it somewhere else.

Dunno. To my eye 65” is the biggest TV I’d put above a fireplace anyway

I’m remodeling and will install an 85” TV above a ground level fireplace. Not too high.

An 85" screen that far off the ground - your room must be absolutely huge for those proportions to work out.

kccougar

10/18/21 8:17am

Not huge but decent. My HCBW is lobbying for a 75”. Told her 85” if she wants all her other prefs on the remodel.

If you have small kids, you should consider mounting it, even if only for safety

I meant that it’s mounted. Totally agree with you.

I don't understand why people like to put their TV's there.
