Comments (1)Your biggest issue will be the antenna. If you have a house antenna, you'll want to install a splitter and run a cable to your TV. The aerial that comes with the TV could be very cumbersome if it needs to be adjusted, especially if it has to stick out from under the cabinets. Keep in mind that each time you split the antenna cable, you lose at least 5db of signal. Depending on how many times you've already split the cable and how strong your signal is, you may have to add an amplified distribution. This is all simple to do, and worth considering. You also want to be able to plug the tv in so make sure there is a receptacle close enough where you can hide the wiring and not have to use any extension cords. Don't mount the tv where it can be exposed to steam from cooking, coffee pots, hot oven and water from the sink. If you mount it near a microwave, you will get disturbance while the microwave is running. If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, it's worth the effort. In my case, when I wake up in the morning and am having my coffee before tackling my day, it's great to catch the news and weather sitting at the breakfast nook....See MoreRecommendation for TV Wall Mount for 40'' Flat Screen?
Comments (4)OP here: It worked good! The Sanus VisionMount VM400 full motion wall mount for $40 off Craigslist works EX-CELL-EN-TE!! Feels as solid as a rock! Oh, it also has the option of pivoting/folding up towards the left or towards the right, which in our case, where our stud was not centered on the wall, was the perfect offset to make the tv pretty nicely centered (the actual mount on the tv is around 3" offset). Like the 20" extention capability & 180 degree swivel feature too. Also, the Sanus website has an installation video which was more helpful than the written directions. So yeah, it worked out well, thank goodness! Thanks to all who responded!...See MoreUndercabinet mounted kitchen TV recommendations
Comments (5)That wall would be my backsplash wall and so I would think it would look awkward to tile around it. Plus, the spot I had in mind was under the corner cabinet, since that counter goes back further and has never been terribly usable space anyway. Setting it on the counter top may be an option but I liked the fact that you can put the swivel sets up flush with the cabinets when you're not using them, if you needed that counter space for something. I like the versatility of that, as opposed to having one that sits on the counter all the time. Surely, someone has one that's not been too awful??...See MoreRecommendations for furniture in TV viewing room
Comments (2)Put a sofa on wall where tv is. Move the art and put it over sofa on other wall. Put tv on wall where art is now. Either use a mobile tv console with wheels or mount tv on the wall over a console and use an articulating arm. Tv consoles on wheels: Angling extension arms:...See More- 16 years ago
