Do you use the fireplace much especially in the winter and is there any other source of heating in the room ? You could just mount the tv where the mirror is.
That would be hideous to watch!
Each to there own but I would rather have a smaller tv than mount it above a fire place!Not really, i know a few people who have done this and i must admit takes a bit of geting use to but a lot less drastic than ripping out your fire place .
