kelly-il questioned:
So we just bought a flat screen t.v. I’m not into the giant t.v.s but we bought a 42 inch – which is huge enough. We could place it on a stand or we could place it above our fireplace. I want to have it on a wall (fireplace) instead of a stand, for space issues. My husband said you can’t place it about the fireplace because people don’t want to look up at the screen from a sitting position. What do you reckon? Where is the best place.

whoa buddy badddd thought seriously. ur husband’s got the right thought. best place is on a blank expanse of wall where it cant be distracted by other things (like FIRE)
I don’t reckon above the fireplace is a excellent thought. Fireplaces can REALLY heat up a home sometimes and what if the heat does something to your TV? I suggest a stand
Don’t to it it gets extremely hot, and most likly will break. Also your veiw will not be to excellent because of the hot air rising. Terrible thought in general.
Any Problem with Heat???
I would place it on a stand. It might save space to mount it about a fireplace, but i know that i like to sit in front of the fireplace and watch tv. Your husband is right- It might hurt your neck if you look up at it for too long also.
I wouldn’t do it if it were mine, after about 5 minutes you’d probably get a terrible head or neck ache. My brother did this at their cottage and it’s nearly impossible to watch for more than 10 minutes. The heat from you fireplace may also void your warranty if you had problems with the set in the future.
I have one and I like it! We have a 60 inch one and we had a professional contractor place it right on the wall with a secure holder we bought for it….We have our own personal movie theater in our living room and we lie on the couch and suggle and watch a movie nearly every night,,,,GO FOR IT
