I want to put the wall mount above my fireplace. Is there a problem mounting my TV there?

Depends...if you dont plan on using fire place, i would check temperatures above fireplace when lit, check with safety codes for placement of items above fire place and would check to make sure there are studs located abovefire place for mounting.

That is where I mounted mine. As long as you have decent structure, like wall studs to mount to you are fine. You then of course need to deal with wiring, cable etc

I have mine above the fireplace. There shouldn't be any problem, as long as there are studs behind your walls to hang it. The other side of your wall should be metal (for the chimney), but you should still be able to hang it through the drywall into studs. Good luck!

I dont think it will be a very good idea because of the heat from the fireplace. You can buy the tilt one ( it is mounted closer to the wall than this model). Hope this helps. After install this model, the screen is about 7 inches from the wall.

That is how we installed our's. Put a nice stained board up for stability & put the mount on it. When we fold the TV up to the ceiling we attatch a bungie cord across it incase we hit a hard bump just to be sure the clame doen not bounce loose. Seems to work great.

Sure.....if you unmount it first :) There's no way I can see that would allow you to attach it without taking the TV off the wall.

Yes I can confirm this. Although the wall studs in my house are 16" there was a stud slightly right of center so to mount my 47" tv and have it centered on the wall over the fireplace required a plate that was wider than the standard size. This worked as the wall plate is over 24" wide with the last set of holes on 24" centers. Have had the TV mounted for over 2 years and no problems

I don't think so. Our depth was 23" from the back of the opening above the fireplace to the front. We wanted the TV like you want yours. This one gave only a couple extra inches which made it a little diffucult to screw the bolts onto the back of the TV. There wasn't a lot of wiggle room (as some would put it) to work with outside of the opening. Hope you find one that does work for you.

No problem. The mounting hardward doesn't show. I would recommend however that you purchase also from a local store a strip of cord cover for the picture down to the outlet. Makes it look a whole lot neater.Regards,

I wouldn't have your tv close to the fireplace. It will destroy the mechanisms of the tv. Anyway, I have a 46 inch tv and it swings 26 inches left and right when it's pulled all the way out.

Generally you do not want a TV hanging over the sides of the cabinet. However; if it is OK with you, than go for it.

As long as the wall socket is a foot or two away from the unit it should be fine, if the wall socket is right above the unit, It just increases the risk of a fire.. It's just a safety Precaution. Just mount it afoot to the left or right of your wall socket it should be okay and try to keep the wire away from the unit also

You won't want to do that with any bracket. The bracket needs to be mounted firmly in place. If you were gonna move the tv that might be ok. But moving the bracket is a BAD idea.

I would have to disagree with the Fireplace being loud! We have ours in our Master Bedroom and have no problem watching Tv . I hope this helps!

When I did my research the sound bar bracket should be installed first. I mounted my sound bar directly to the wall because there is not enough space above or below tv

I believe it is best to mount on wall and high to make sure dangerous air isn't hugging ceiling. You know, how smoke is high and they tell you to crawl down low where air isn't so bad. I have mine installed in bedroom by door because if you sleeping you need to know something is wrong. Be safe!

No, We did not want to wall mount the TV because of all the wiring that would be hanging down. We choose not to wall mount our 55" LCD. It sits just fine on top with multiple units below, plus lots of music CD's. We LOVE this arrangement. Our Wall was not long enough to place speakers upright as picturede. We placed them horizontal along the floor under the wall unit.

i would also like to know, how high from the base the tv would be with the mount in the top position? i don't want my tv mounted too low.

Hi Ken, I have mine mounted below my 55" Samsung. Looks great. The viewing area is very large. There is approximately a 2 1/2" border around the perimeter. I am very pleased with it. When needed the heater works wonderfully. My bedroom is 16' X 14' and it warms it up no problem. The ability to mix and change the colors is also great. I really enjoy this fireplace. No regrets at all. Colleen

I put my mount up myself. It was easier than I thought. Make sure you locate your studs the mount is vary safe if mounted to studs.
