Do you intend to watch TV while you eat? Isn't it too close to watch comfortably with that size of TV? A pretty piece of art work would look better but if you want to, I guess it should be centered on the wall....Just doesn't look ideal to me.

I agree I would prefer the art, but this is a compromise to go with hubby. The mount will swivel for watching from the patio, or living room.

Center on the table not the wall.

Do you need a TV in your dining room? ;) I would center it on the wall and move your table and chairs towards the windows.

That is why I would center the TV on the wall......you can always move the table one way or the other...

I'm going to throw something out there-- could you make this area a keeping room/den & put the DR in your LR?

Most people love to hang around the kitchen & you could watch tv from your island during meal prep/clean up?

Centre the table to the wall, not the island, then do as others suggest -- centre the t.v. on the wall.

I hope you aren't planning to hand the TV where you marked it. It is too high. The best way is to mark where the TV is going based on your view when sitting. Lower it appropriately from that position. I agree center the TV on the wall and try to move your dining table some where else.

It would help if we had a better idea about the orientation of the rooms -- the space you have available. I agree with those who suggested you consider swapping the functions of the rooms -- make the existing dining room the TV viewing room and move the DR table to another room (LR or FR).

Failing that, is it possible to extend the feed from the security cameras to a location where you would actually want to sit and watch TV?

Failing that, could you purchase a nice tablet for hubby that he can have with him anywhere in the house, so he would have ready access to view the security feeds? After all, I would think the need to view those feeds is momentary at best -- watch a movie, pause the movie to check cameras for a second, return to movie -- right? He's not going to actually sit there and watch the feeds for any appreciable period of time, I would think (although my father can sit for appreciable periods of time watching the Weather Channel, so what do I know?).
