Mounting TV Above Fireplace

Chief makes a great high quality TV mount

I put in a great Heat N Glow gas insert, puts out a lot of heat.  It gave minimum distances to flammable material specs.  You don't want to get your TV too close.  My TV was up high but tilted down a little.  When reclined in my chair with my head laid back, it was just right.  Standing in the kitchen was good, too.

Place all your speakers at ear level. the video display can be higher. it is the sound that makes a difference not the display positition.

I destroyed my entertainment center furniture to get the audio right.Just bumped the display up a few inches and got the center channel same height  as mains and the improvement was sooooooo good. Please try this.
