IMO that TV needs to come off that wall and put somewhere else. It is a health hazard. Get a mantel piece to surround the FP.

If your fireplace gets hot when it is on, it may damage the TV....negating the warranty. Now if you had a mantel to deflect the heat....that is another thing but I agree with you, the TV should not be over the fireplace. Isn't it hard on your neck looking up to see the TV?

Working on it with husband. Paid a lot to get it mounted there. I also do not think I can just put a mantle right to the firebox like that. Doesn't it need to have stone? It's actually not hard on the neck, but its hard on my design. lol

i would instal ledger stone from floor to ceiling and instal a non combustible floating mantle between tv and fire box.
