Move the folding table to somewhere else. Center the TV chest on the wall. Then post another picture

Use the TV stand, It is the right height for viewing. Paint the wall and make an accent gallery wall.

I would consider a much larger TV for this area. Mount the TV over a wall mounted unit positioned at the correct height. Maybe use the sideboard in the dining room.

I am thinking of getting the LG Gallery TV, 65 inches. I would like to still keep the mirrored console though. Think I can get away with it? also, what about lighting?

Unless this is your living room and you don't have a family room, I wouldn't bother with a Frame TV, just get a regular one. People expect to see a TV in a family room. For lighting suggestions you're going to have to post more pictures of the room. I can't tell from one picture what the issue is with the lighting.

I like the center of the TV 6-8 inches above eye level while seated.

This is an apartment, not a house. so this is a hybrid family/living room.

i would want the tv mounted to the wall. 65 inch

Perhaps look at moving the table that is beside the TV. Switch it out for a plant and some baskets on the other side or a tall lamp.
