This is pretty random but curious to hear about others!

We took our tree down today and decided to completely re-arrange our living room. We're in a colonial home, which equals long, narrow living room. There really only two spots to place a TV. One spot - on the wall in the center of the house, or above the fireplace.

The issue with the fireplace is that there is a pretty large mantle around it so it makes the placement of our 48" plasma pretty high. The set up of the furniture is as far away as possible in the room, but it's still up a little higher than we'd like (although you don't need to crane your neck, you're just looking up). We do use the fireplace, but we've been using duraflames lately since they don't give off too much heat and they are easier (lame, i know).

SO! Those with TVs mounted above your fireplace.... yay? nay??

We're going to live with it for a week and see what we think then if we decide to keep it we will mount it and get it on a swivel mount so that it can move around.

OR, anyone else have a colonial/long living room - give me ideas! The other walls are all windows and I don't really want to cover them with the TV.
