BiohazrD posted:i love this image, but for reasons other than the tv and the longer you look the worse it gets door frame different colour from mouldings, white door in lenin-grey room with brown floors, you've probably got a good quarter of a board-width's worth of play in that floor from one side to the other (txt me) , fireplace with no grille or glass doors is almost definitely a code violation, whatever stonework's in front of the fireplace isn't deep enough unless there's a gas insert but if that's the case what's with the bullshit styro-stone, why does a white chair have pink threads and black leather, is the owner yao ming or did the person in the chair stick his neck up at a 40 degree angle to watch tv, and now that i think about it where's the video source for that tv even...

where should you mount the tv if the fireplace is the focal point of the room and most people don't use the fireplace anyway? like, is the super cool hip thing to do to utterly wreck the layout of your room in service to a particular piece of electronics?

1) not buy a poo poo house with poor layout or 2) renovate and have the fireplace removed or, as a last resort 3) actually use a mount and attach it to the wall and run wires on the ground like a animal you piece of poo poo

Endless Mike posted:i mean if you are going to have a tv over your fireplace, this doesn't seem too bad. put the tv in front of the hole on an arm and put the av equipment behind it the house i grew up in had a fireplace in the center of the living room with the brick chimney going up like a pillar, and for a while we had the tv up against the back of it, and then we made a fire one night and the back of the tv melted

look i understand that a lot of folks in this forum center their lives around their consumer electronics but for regular people it's not a concern the main room in which people relax quite frequently is configured that the fireplace is at the focal point of the room, so it's a natural place to put the tv if you're willing to upend your life and/or spend thousands of dollars to accommodate a particular piece of consumer electronics good on you, but you must understand that's a very abnormal behavior

americans spend a lot of time and money justifying that the thing they stare at 4-9 hours a day [or is on next to them as they stare at a second smaller thing] isn't "the focal point" even though it's probably 99% of all time spent in living rooms

My fireplace tv is mounted at a slight angle so I can watch it comfortably reclining on the couch or standing in the kitchen. It's really the best of both worlds.

fireplaces are cool if you actually use them but i'm also one of those weirdos that doesn't really watch TV and thinks that a communal place like the living room should be filled with conversation rather than sitcoms, so what do I know death to television
