""If I see one more TV mounted above the fireplace, I'm going to scream. Even if craning your neck to stare upward at a screen for hours was comfortable, ruining a focal point intended for gathering near by slogging your dust-trap boob tube on top of it is peak tacky." -Anonymous, 38, Washington"
""Flat-screen TVs on the wall above the fireplace. Sitting lower on the couch, you don't want to stretch your neck and keep looking up just to see your television." -Anonymous, 52, California"
Mounting flat-screen televisions above fireplaces forces viewers to crane their necks, causing discomfort when watching for hours. Positioning a television atop a fireplace transforms the fireplace from a gathering focal point into a dust-trapping platform for the screen, which many people find tacky and visually disruptive. Sitting lower on a couch makes upward viewing angles worse, increasing neck strain and annoyance. Placing a TV above the fireplace undermines the fireplace's role for social gathering and prioritizes the screen over comfort and aesthetic cohesion. Many homeowners express frustration with this common placement choice.
