It's understandable that placing a TV above any source of heat raises some concerns, but are there ways of doing it safely and if so, how?
The recommended height for mounting a TV on a wall is generally at eye level when seated, which is roughly around 42-50 inches from the floor to the centre of the screen.
If the TV needs to be mounted lower due to the fireplace, it could cause neck strain and discomfort. It's important to find a balance between aesthetics and ergonomics.
By mounting your TV above a fireplace, this sometimes skews the angle as you need to place the TV higher, which can make viewing uncomfortable for prolonged periods.
