3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

I just got a 55 inch samsung frame tv. It came with a mount that will mount the tv flush aganist the wall. I plan on eventually adding a mantle to this fireplace. The TV at this postion will be 68 inches from the ground to the center. Can I lower it? Should I get a mount that can tilt the tv downward?

We used to have a TV above a fireplace. I would not do it again. I had to slouch down on the couch and rest my neck on the top of the cushions or I would get neck pain after a bit. We did not have the ability to angle the TV down, though. I don’t know if that would be helpful or not. I would make sure you have something you can put your feet up on to brace the slouch position.

Put the TV on another wall.

They hanged my TV 55 inch from ground to center, and it’s a little tilted. But i still feel it’s little high for me.
