I have a 32" sony LCD that I want to mount above a cultured stone fireplace. I could easily put the tv on the mantle but the mantle is way to high. The mantle itself sticks out about 5". This is really the only place I can put it except for another awkward wall on the side. Is there any other way to hang it above the fireplace? Any ideas would be really helpful.
Do you use the fire place during the winter time? If you use your fire place don't bother hanging the tv over it, heat and water is the worst enemy of electronics. You'll just have to call or go to a retail store and see if they can install it for you on a rock wall. Also you should mount tv as close to the eye level to went setting down, tilting your head back will put strain on your neck while watching tv. Hope this helps.

you could get an lcd wall mount if there is something behind it to screw it to, but as said above if you use the fireplace the heat will break the tv. Wall mount brackets look great if they are installed right and all of the cables are hidden away but i would look at putting it somewhere away from the fire
