Dynamic Mounting Above Fireplace TV Mount for Samsung 65"
Comments (3)Looking at these pictures, I also used the Dynamic mount for my Samsung 65". But the WAF plummeted because it hid the fireplace, so back to Costco and exchange for a 60". See attached pic. I'm very happy with the installation and ease of use. In the "up" position, it looks like a normal above-the-fireplace mount....See MoreTV Placement - Above Linear Fireplace or to The Side?
Comments (5)We have the same basic layout and we mounted the TV to the side wall and used a swing-out to aim the TV toward the sitting area. You will never get the optimum mounting height if you place the TV above the fireplace with mantle and that is the most important thing for comfort. Out fireplace is 65" and the TV is 55" (soon to be replaced)....See MorePut TV above or perpendicular to fireplace?
Comments (17)This often comes up on houzz; I’m wondering if anyone likes their tv at that height in a room that is approximately this size. I have a similar set-up in my soon-to-be new home, so I will be following you. The builder placed the tv outlet above the fireplace (not a low profile, in my case.) It would be much easier to arrange the furniture if I went with what was intended...but I, too, am worried about the angle for comfortable viewing. Not sure I would like to see a tv that is angled downward, and I agree with your concern about using the style that must be pulled forward and downward. I hope we both find a solution! Good luck in your new home. I’m envious of your windows!...See MoreMounting TV above fireplace and concealing wires
Comments (0)I have a den with a wall-to-wall brick surround for a wood-burning fireplace. I am planning to convert it to a gas burning fireplace so it is my hope that if any wiring needs to be run behind the brick and possibly in the chimney there will be no issues after the stainless steel liner is inserted. The den is over a crawl space that adjoins my basement. There is electric, as can be seen in the picture, on the lower left side above the baseboard radiator (circled). I want to get power and obviously coax to the area above the fireplace, concealing the wires. Open to any, and all, serious suggestions....See MoreFaux68
