Every time I look at mine wall mounted I canā€™t believe I actually debated keeping it on the stand. It just looks so much better mounted. ---

Heat is bad. Height is bad. Put it between the two windowsā€¦youā€™ll never have glare. If you want to watch TV while cooking, put a 27" TV somewhere in the kitchen. ---

Rolled my own mounting kit with some bolts and fender washers and braided steel wire and hung it like a painting. Worked fine. Been hanging for over a year, no problem. So itā€™s been a year now that Iā€™ve been meaning to paint the conduit. :picard: ---

Maybe it is because of the size of the tv that it looks small lol. We could only fit a 37" on ours ---

Bumpā€¦ unrelated, but TV mount is only 9.99 today. I used this same one to mount my 42" ~75lb TV to the wall. Comes with Lag bolts. [http://1saleaday.com/main/](http://1saleaday.com/main/) ---

That would look horrible too. If I gave a shit about watching TV it wouldnā€™t be over the fireplace at all. It would be on the wall opposite the couch between two windows. But I donā€™t give a shit about watching TV. If I do Iā€™ve got a 40" flatscreen at normal height and a leather recliner in the basement away from the wife, kid, and dogs. :tup: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mounting-tv-over-fireplace-with-a-brick-facade/210453.md?page=3)
